Spicy and Salted Golden Tofu

It’s almost impossible not to enjoy this specialty of creamy, ever-so-lightly crisped homemade tofu cubes lightly dusted with spices. Don’t be afraid!

Peninsula Char Kway Teow

One of the most beloved street foods, for which Malaysia is justifiably proud, this stir-fry classic of flat noodles, seafood, egg, and bean sprouts tossed with a spicy soy chili paste is spot-on.

Coconut-Butter Jumbo Shrimp

The sauce that coats these succulent, deep-fried shellfish requires three and a half hours of nonstop stirring. The end result is light, tropical, and tasty.
