Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
6 dishes to eat in Kuala Lumpur, what is in them, and where they belong.
Coconut rice with sambal, anchovies, peanuts, egg and cucumber. The national breakfast, sold wrapped in banana leaf.
Flat rice noodles fried hard over high heat with prawns, cockles, egg and chives — judged by its 'wok hei', the char the flame leaves.
Flaky griddled flatbread stretched and slapped to order, served with dhal and curry at mamak stalls at any hour.
Pork ribs simmered in a herbal, peppery broth, eaten with rice, garlic and dark soy.
Thick yellow noodles braised in dark soy with pork lard croutons — distinct from the soup version in Penang.
The fruit that divides everyone. Musang King is the premium local variety, and it is banned in most hotels and on public transport.
