In Malaysia, when we try to think of cheap and simple recipes, there’s something that doesn’t escape the mind. Lauk kampung surely is in most Malaysian’s minds, imagining a small portion of pumpkin and belacan. Nothing can go wrong with your feast when you have this combination for your tummy. Definitely one of a homecooked food for students that you need to try!

Ayam Masak Kicap

Most Malaysians, need our meat (apologies vegetarians)! At most, we can only go on a few days without meat in our meals. And financial constraints will not stop us from getting our meat fix! The simplest and cheapest chicken dish you can make at home is probably Ayam Masak Kicap!

Now we have a dish for vegetarians and everyone else on this list! You definitely will not get bored of eating this delicious dish. Masak Lemak is something that most people imagine beef, chicken or fish is involved. However, once you try the vegetarian version, the Cendawan Masak Lemak Cili Api, you would be super excited to be a temporary vegetarian.

Ikan Bilis Tempe Goreng

What if you want to be on a diet and somewhat eat healthily (somewhat!)? Ikan Bilis Tempe Goreng is surely a yummy dish you can go for! It is extremely addictive eaten with rice or bread. Plus, it is one of the cheapest recipes that will never go bad if we store it properly. The ingredients we need to make a nice plate of Ikan Bilis Tempe Goreng are peanuts, chilli, sweet soy, tempe and anchovies. They can be bought for only 10 bucks!

Sometimes we might lose our appetite or feeling unwell, or maybe a thinning wallet situation. This Chinese inspired dish will provide comfort! With 10 bucks, you can make a lot of soup and you will feel warm inside eating it.

Cucur Ikan Bilis: Homecooked Food for Students Favourite!
