Malaysian breakfast: Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik top the list, reveals Kajidata study


KUALA LUMPUR: It's early morning, and the tantalisingly spicy aroma of Nasi Lemak, accompanied by tea variants like Teh Tarik (or plain tea), is ready to fuel Malaysians. Yet, with a plethora of other irresistible breakfast choices available, Malaysians find themselves truly spoiled for choice.

In a recent survey by Kajidata Sdn Bhd on what Malaysians have for breakfast, their love for Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik or Teh O reigns supreme. The breakfast choice for most seems to be Nasi Lemak, fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, accompanied by red chilli condiment and a hot or cold tea as the morning drink.
