Food and familiarity bind Malaysians abroad


PETALING JAYA: Whether they are away for years or months, Malaysians abroad agree that food brings them together, and being among Malaysians always feels like being at home.

“Malaysians love food and wherever they go, they will try to recreate Malaysian food, in all its diversity and flavours and share a meal. Get-togethers are very common and we introduce other Malaysians we happen to know, to each other. We talk about home and if you happen to meet someone from the same town/region there is even more to share,” says children's book author Tutu Dutta, who is in her 50s.
