This glossary is mainly in Malay i.e. Bahasa
Malaysia. However, many food ingredients or terms are better
known in local Chinese or Indian dialects. This is because of
Malaysia's multi-ethnic population, and its culturally diverse
cuisine and cooking styles. Certain ingredients are used
exclusively, or more frequently in different ethnic kitchens,
while some foods may be forbidden due to religious beliefs.
Wherever possible, spelling variations, similar names in
English, or in other countries nearby and afar, shall also be
included in the glossary. |
