Have you and your buddies driven around trying to satisfy some cravings? I’m sure you have, and it is usually for a type of street food in Malaysia. You can’t consider yourself having lived in Malaysia without trying some of Malaysia’s best street food.

Some of the best Malaysian food you can find combines various recipes such as Chinese, Thai, Indian and Malay. As students, you’d probably suffer one of the side effects of long hours of studies, which is a sudden craving for the exquisite taste! That’s when you grab your nearest friends to embark on a food hunt perhaps late at night.

Here is a list of the Top 10 Street Food in Malaysia you can typically go for:

Satay

Satay is perhaps the most famous Malaysian Street Food on this list since we can find at least 1 stay stall in each area. Great satays require a good seasoning chicken impaled over a hot fire to cook. Somewhat say it is all in the art of handling the fire.

You can find a variation of satays using mutton and beef meat instead of the usual chicken. This dish is usually served alongside ”nasi himpit” (compressed rice), sweet and spicy peanut sauce, and cucumbers.

Cendol

For all you dessert lovers out there, cendol offers a creamy and flavourful taste you need to try. Cendol’s unique flavour and appearance come from the green jelly-like noodles made from mung-bean flour and food colouring. It originated from pandan leaf, giving it a vanilla-like taste.

Most cendol vendors add jackfruit and sweetened red beans giving this dish the extra delicious flavour.

Rojak

Next, we have a dish known as Rojak, which literally means “”mixing”” in Malay. This dish mixes fruits and vegetables served with a dark sweet sauce. Typically consists of Fried bean Curds, chopped vegetables, hard-boiled eggs and other ingredients the vendor might add. 

The sauce binds all the rich tastes together, and it’s best eaten when served. Otherwise, your Rojak will turn mushy, and it won’t be at its best flavour.

Pisang Goreng

Pisang Goreng (”fried banana” in Malaysia) is a popular dish made by deep-frying battered bananas in hot oil. It’sIt’s a popular choice for a snack in the morning and afternoon. In Malaysia, Pisang Goreng is a popular street food item. These bananas will not crumble because of their slight sweetness and sourness when fried. While Pisang raja’s texture and smell are both milder, it is also more enjoyable to eat. Palm oil is typically used to deep fry the banana. Battered or fried plain, Pisang Goreng is a versatile dish. Flour mixtures like wheat flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, or bread crumbs are common ingredients in pancake batters. Some recipes call for the use of coconut milk or milk and vanilla extract to enhance the flavour.

Yong Tau Foo

Yong tau foo, or “”stuffed beancurd,”” is a Hakka word that means “”stuffed beancurd.”” Are you surprised, or have you known that this was going to happen? It’sIt’s a collective term for many beancurd-based foods, such as beancurd stuffed with anything from soya puffs to ladies’ fingers to chilli and brinjal.

Ayam Gunting

“”Ayam Gunting”” refers to pan-fried, deep-fried, pressure-fried, or air-fried chicken pieces coated in seasoned flour or batter before being pan-fried, deep pressure-fried, or air-fried. After deep-frying the chicken, the breading creates a crisp coating or crust on the outside while keeping the fluids in the meat. Cut crispy chicken into small pieces is the best way to eat “”Ayam gunting.””

Apam Balik

Apam Balik is an on-the-go snack with a crispy crust and a sweet centre that is sure to please. The most common fillings for this palm-sized treat are sugar, sweetened corn, and crushed peanuts. Many people find it hard to refuse once they taste apam balik for the first time.

Char Kuey Teow

Nearly tough to beat is an oily, savoury dish of Char Kway Teow. You can get your hands on this famous street food delicacy all around the country. Definitely, this dish will hook you from the first bite, with prawns and bean sprouts on top.

Roti Canai

Roti canai is a flat, flaky bread famous for Malaysian’s breakfast, and usually we dip them in sauces. Some stalls have one person twists, slaps, and layers ghee-coated dough as another fry the bread in a wok. The large curry drums takes two persons to craft the perfect curry. Along with a cup of hot Nescafé stirred in to include the remaining condensed milk completes your breakfast set.

  • Welcoming Safa to #UniKL! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Safa and her wonderful family — her father, mother, and younger brother — who looked fresh and cheerful despite just arriving from Kuwait the day before. 💛

We started the day with her medical check-up ✅, then went straight into a campus tour adventure and accommodation check-in 🏡. Safa’s family radiated warmth and joy, even inviting us to join them for a lovely Indian lunch 🍛🥰. They shared how much they enjoy trying new foods, and can’t wait to explore Malaysian cuisine next!

With 7 days in Kuala Lumpur, they’re especially excited to visit iconic spots like KLCC 🌆✨. We wish them the happiest adventures ahead — and an amazing start to Safa’s study journey here in Malaysia, both in and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💙

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Alaa with her registration today, followed by a coffee catch-up right on campus ☕💙. After completing her registration, we also supported her at the visa unit to apply for dependent visas for her children.

Alaa isn’t alone on this journey — her three kids are here with her and have already enrolled in an international school, making Malaysia their new home too. 🏡💛 Though she shared that the registration process was a little tiring, the highlight of her day was meeting her supervisor and having meaningful discussions about her studies. 📚🌟

Here’s to a smooth and successful journey ahead, Alaa — both inside and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀✨

And of course, no visit would be complete without some local flavors — we introduced them to the classic Nasi Ayam and Milo Ais combo, which was an instant hit! 🍚🥤

We can’t wait to welcome Aini back soon to begin her Malaysian study journey — inside the classroom and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💛

It’s his very first time studying abroad, and with Team #EMGA by his side, everything went smoothly — from registration to medical check-ups ✅. To top it off, we treated ourselves to lunch at the viral spot in Bangi, Mak Kimbong 🍛🔥 (his second time there in just two days — that’s how good it is!).

Extra special thanks to Ms. Iffah, a proud UKM alumni herself, who shared some insider campus spots and made the experience even more meaningful 💙. Khader was super happy to finally meet us in person, and he left feeling confident, supported, and ready to begin this exciting journey.
