Colors of Malaysia (Part II)

Here it is the Colorful Malaysia part two!! Here, I want to write again about Malaysia, the country where I gain knowledge. This is to continue of the unfinished part one. If in part one I wrote about the nation flag and races, here in the part two, I want to write about the tourism and the food. Malaysia is a developing country which also famous in its tourism. So many places can be visited here, such as Genting High Land, Petronas Twin Tower, Langkawi Island, Redang Islang, Bukit Bintang Walk, Malacca, and Sunway Lagoon. Genting High Land is the entertainment place, which located in the top of the mountain. The weather there is really cold and foggy. There are so many hotels in Genting but I wonder if it is always full in the weekend and in the holiday time. Genting is a really well known place to play gamble. So many Chinese who play gamble everyday. In Genting, there is also a big shopping mall and theme park, which is provided for children.

This is Genting Highland looked like!

Beside that, Petronas Twin Tower and Bukit Bintang Walk is a shopping area. Here the tourists can find anything even the traditional food. I really suggest for every shopaholics to visit them. Oh yea, there is one area called China Town in Petaling Street. China Town is always popular all over the world remember that so many Chinese people spread in Malaysia.

While Langkawi and Redang island are the nature and beautiful panoramic beaches. The tourists can try water sport, spa treatment, and enjoying the nature as well. Then about Malacca, it was actually the first place where the white people come to Malaysia. Malacca used to be a center of spice trade when the colonial time. Nowadays, it is very rich of cultures, heritage, and diversity. There are so many ancient buildings in Malacca that built long time back and now become a tourist attraction. The last one is Sunway Lagoon, it is located in Subang Jaya area. This place provides entertainment and pleasure for tourists. There are some hotels there and one big shopping mall. There is also a theme park like in the Genting and so many clubs for clubbers. Tourism area has major contribution in making Malaysia more colorful. It attracts the tourists to come and enjoy Malaysia with its uniqueness.

Then go on to the food part. I seriously really like to eat nasi lemak, Malaysian traditional food. It usually served with fried chicken and chili sauce. It is damn nice and every tourists got to try it!! There are three major races in Malaysia, which are Malays, Chinese, and Indians. Those races are really influencing the type of the food in Malaysia. The elements of how they are cooking are blended together. That is what makes Malaysia is so unique and exquisite. The most common cuisine in Malaysia is about rice and noodle and sometimes in spicy taste. The most famous local fruit here is durian, which has a very pungent aroma.

Beside all of that, Malaysian food considered as high fat content and it will risk the health. So because of that, most of Malaysian will cook at home only. Oh yea, Malaysia’s diversity also can be seen from some prohibitions in food. Muslims are not allowed to eat pork, which is really popular and loved by Chinese. Then Hindus cannot eat beef, some Buddhists are vegetarian, and Muslims cannot drink alcohol. So in the nutshell, Malaysia is really diverse.
