Malaysian Cuisine

Malaysian cuisine consists of cooking traditions and practices found in Malaysia, and reflects the multi-ethnic makeup of its population.[1] The vast majority of Malaysia's population can roughly be divided among three major ethnic groups: Malays, Chinese and Indians. The remainder consists of the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia, the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia, the Peranakan and Eurasian creole communities, as well as a significant number of foreign workers and expatriates. As a result of historical migrations, colonisation by foreign powers, and its geographical position within its wider home region, Malaysia's culinary style in the present day is primarily a melange of traditions from its Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and ethnic Bornean citizens, with heavy to light influences from Thai, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabian cuisines and British cuisines, to name a few. This resulted in a symphony of flavours, making Malaysian cuisine highly complex and diverse. ( from Wikipedia)

The restaurant’s aesthetic is characterized by a light and modern look, with a blend of industrial and rustic elements that create a unique and inviting atmosphere.

The burgundy benches and metal and wood upcycled tables provide a comfortable and stylish seating arrangement for diners.

In Mall

Since we are in KL East Mall, we decided to try something different of our usual dining. We spotted Naj & Belle and we decided to give it a try. Flipping at the menu, the food is not over-the-top pricey but still a little higher than the average. And if you are not aware, Naj & Belle is home to Malaysia’s knockoff of the famous Black Star Pastry’s watermelon cake in Sydney. And the place is beautifully decorated and cosy ambience. The service is pretty good and we enjoyed some me-time there. As for their food, they served quite a variety where one can enjoy western or even our Malaysian local delights.
