Out of all the places we have explored so far, Malaysia seems to be the most exciting when it comes to Food. Not only there are abundant of local fare, you can just about find food from all over the world, done well here.  They don’t muck around when it comes to food. But let’s talk about their street food snacks today.  Here we selected 26 Malaysian street food snacks that you must try when you are in Malaysia. They are available everywhere and just about at any time. The main theme is, they are Malaysian-Style food.  While of course there are a lot more exciting street food to feature, we have picked snacks so you are able to sample the food with one hand, while still wandering around the street and market looking at things – handy huh ? Jagung Bakar via Hendrik Pyong Man, it is hard to find anything better than the buttery sweet corn, slightly charred. They are so so good! with just the right amount of salt, or even cheese or chilli flakes for the adventurous ones.   Aiskrim Potong via icelykl_official Aiskrim is basically the Malaysian spelling/word for Ice Cream. It is a locally made ice cream using local flavours such as Corn, Red Bean, Coconut and Durian. It is a must try for Ice Cream fans – it is so good!   Goreng Pisang Cheese via b.l.o.c. Fried bananas topped with condensed milk, chocolate, cheese and every other condiments you could think of. It’s not traditionally Asian, but we truly believe the creation of this particular street food snack paved the way to a more interesting Malaysian Fusion Food. They basically took Malaysia’s favourite tea time snack into a popular snack among  youngsters in Malaysia. No joke, this snack might seem a little weird, but it  is so good . Truly a must try.   Ice Blended Coconut Milkshake via siti marliana mahpan Sweet, creamy and coconutty – we go loco for the coconut shake!   Vadey via Ainim Ismail Eat this at your own risk. This snack is so addictive, it is hard to stop at one. Made from lentil and lentil flour, pretty sure this thing is vegan. They tend to sell two types of vadey in the market, normal vadey and upma vadey – both are yum!   Muah Chee via thefatfam What is Muah chee , you ask ? they are glutinous rice balls rolled in powdered sugar and ground peanut. They are absolutely bloody delicious! think of it as the Malaysian cousin of the Japanese Mochi – same same but different!   Keropok Lekor via Pokok Cafe If we have to describe Keropok Lekor to you, we would say, it taste like those Chinese Restaurants prawn crackers but a BILLION times better! made out of fish, you can have them thin and crispy or thick and doughey. Best eaten with the chilly dipping sauce that comes with it. You just have to ask you self, how do you eat your Lekor ? do you dip a bit in the sauce, do you dunk it in the sauce, or are you like us ; we bathe the whole damn thing in the sauce before taking a bite. Either way, a timeless Malaysian snack. Putu Piring via Yati Hamad Awesome steamed rice cakes stuffed with gula melaka (palm sugar). Pretty simple. But the result ? BOOM! explosions in your mouth! Tauhu Bakar via hello trudelicious Another great snack. Golden deep friend/grilled  bean curd topped with tantalising sweet and spicy sauce. Taste and smell nothing like the stinky Tofu in Taiwan – thank f**k for that!   Kuih Muih via ummu aimy kitchen When you wander around the market and arrive at the Kuih Muih stall, what you will find  are trays and trays and trays of puddings, doughnuts, cakes, brownies, jellies , fried snacks – both sweet and savoury. They are collectively known as Kuih or Kuih Muih (where there are more than one type of Kuih). Let us tell you this, at $0.15 a piece, you WILL get greedy and the gorgeous colours and smell WILL make you buy just about one of everything! Ayam Goreng via Lillian Young 87 Oldie but a goodie. You can find just about any parts of the chicken fried – all the way to the bishop’s nose (which are crazy crispy and yummy okay – there we said it!). The market seller will gladly cut your chicken into small pieces so you can enjoy it while looking at other things at the market. Apam Balik via tfoodfeeds This one is our favourite. Apam balik is often described as a Malaysian pancake. The original recipe called for peanut, sugar and creamed corn. But nowadays you can find them filled with just about anything under the sun – sweet and savoury. You can find two versions of apam balik – a crispy thin mini pancake or a thick doughey/cakey type. Either way, they are both epic goodness. Popiah Basah via foodpunography They are essentially spring rolls. But instead of crispy and deep fried, the skin is freshly cooked on site. A bit like a crepe. It is then filled vegetables and topped with sauce.   Sugar Cane Juice via kanmakan.sakmasak Another one of Ida’s favourite. Sugar cane juice is basically pure sugary goodness extracted out of cane sugar – and they are green! be prepared to bounce off the wall for a few hours after consumption but helllll, it is worth it! Ramlee Burger via Ashcrash8000 We know what you are thinking… wtf? burgers ? puhleasee, all burgers taste the same! NO! Just NO! not Ramlee Burger! its burger; Malaysian style. It has everything a normal burger would have, a toasted bun, meat patty, egg, veggies, sauces but, but its taste different than any other burgers… it tasted like Malaysia! Cut Fruits via Gaban Fruits Ida’s favourite snack in Malaysia. Healthy, tropical fruit snack such as Pineapples, Guava , Paw Paw , Mangoes , Honey...
