Souvenirs to buy in Malaysia

We Malaysians might not be aware but apparently, we’re famous for our chocolate. Every day, an endless stream of buses filled with China tourists make their stop at chocolate factories that locals don’t even know exist haha.

Other must-buy Malaysian products according to this China YouTuber: Milo powder, instant white coffee, instant teh tarik and instant cooking bak kut teh.

Dahfa, a fish snack. Or Wanfa, the copycat?

My reluctant British friends tried it and found the snack interesting, when they were not so keen on trying unfamiliar food. I think I like Dahfa the most myself, although I haven't bought it for a long time. Expensive now, RM16 a pack when it used to be RM6 in the past.

I think our soy sauce or kicap is the best. Gula Melaka, Gula Apong syrup. Malaysian instant noodles.

@anotherlemmyuser Yeah Gula Melaka and Gula Apong gives us wonderful drinks and desserts like cendol and three layer tea! The more adventurous can probably get some belacan or other shrimp-based products.

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
