  • I would say eating with fingers is a malay and indian custom. Its awkward if you've never tried it before but somehow, food always taste better when you eat with your fingers...must be the chemical makeup on the skin, i think. However, over here, we only eat with fingers for certain kind of food - certainly when eating nasi lemak, malay mix rice and the various rotis and tosei. When it comes to chinese food such as noodles and such, we fall back to the fork and spoon or chopsticks. AT some malay or indian restaurant, it is the understanding that you'll be eating with your hands, therefore cutleries would not be provided... if you really need them, you'll have to ask for them. And...they would probably give you a pair wrapped in paper or a whole stack in a basket. No lessons in table ettiquette here.

  • There are mainly 3 major ethnic group in Malaysia; Malay, Chinese and Indian. Malay and Indian usually eat their mix rice using hand..... but make sure you are using right hand, eating using left hand is considered inappropriate. The chinese usually use their chopstik. But in almost all restaurants/stalls/food court do provide clean cutleries.

  • You will find out that Malaysians are big fans of the egg and mushroom, and the put them in almost anything. Burgers from restaurants will have at least a fried egg on top, if not mushrooms. Eggs are always served at hotel breakfast. The soup of the day at Pizza Hut is always mushroom.
