Petronas Twin Tower in KL	Malaysian cuisine is a fusion of the different cooking styles and dishes of three nationalities mainly Malay, Chinese and Indian. These have merged to make a unique blend that is an identifying characteristic of the cuisine of this tropical peninsula. The Indians contributed spices such as cumin, turmeric and chilies and their art of blending spices is reflected in the many Malaysian curries. The Chinese influence is evident in the use of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, spring roll and stir fries, and is particular strong in Nonya cooking, which combines the Chinese emphasis on texture and balance of tastes with the Malaysian predilection for curries and chili dishes. Malaysia cuisine is a very healthy one. Chicken is the most widely eaten meat. With a large Muslim population and significant number of Hindus, pork and beef are not used to any great extend. Fish and seafood are plentiful an widely eaten. The mainstay of every Malaysian meal is rice. At each meal, a generous helping accompanies a selection of dishes, including fish, seafood, vegetables, and poultry. Noodles are also used to bulk out meat dishes, to thicken soups, and generally add substance to the diet. Both rice and noodles are also popular as snacks. Individual recipes vary widely from state to state. Basic ingredients may be the same, but the method of cooking and accompanying dishes changes with each state's own tastes and special produce.
