Malaysia

Malaysia occupies two distinct landmasses separated by the South China Sea — the Malay Peninsula and the northwestern edge of Borneo — each with its own texture of rainforest, coast, and city. Street food eaten at open-air hawker stalls is a genuine cultural institution, and the country's ethnic Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities have shaped a cuisine and daily rhythm unlike anywhere else in Southeast Asia.

About Malaysia

Overview

Malaysia borders Thailand to the north on the Peninsula and shares the island of Borneo with Indonesia and Brunei. Kuala Lumpur is the capital. Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, though English is widely spoken in urban areas. The currency is the Malaysian ringgit. The population is multiethnic, and this plurality shows in its festivals, architecture, and food with unusual consistency across regions.
