Yunnan vs Malaysia: Who wins in cuisine delights?

A poster of the Yunnan cultural promotion in Kuala Lumpur on May 12

When Yunnan spicy dishes contest with Malaysian flavors at your taste bud, you’ll definitely be thrilled.

Team Yunnan sends its "Fresh dishes".

Across-the-Bridge Rice Noodles

The dish features carefully-cut thin meat slices to be cooked in piping hot broth. It’s really fresh!

Wild Mushroom Hotpot

It’s a seasonal delight where bolete and matsutake are cooked in chicken soup. (Tip: If you’re sick, see the doctor!)

Team Malaysia serves its "Aromatic snacks".

Nasi Lemak

Cooked with the pandan leaf, the Malaysian dish is a coconut rice wrapped in banana leaf. Coupled with sambal, it’s anamazing snack!

Satay

The meat skewers are grilled over charcoal and dunked in peanut sauce – sweet, smoky, and addictive.

Similar tastes

Yunnan diners add pickles to rice noodles, while Malaysian foodies need samba in Nasi Lemak. Both sides love spicy additives.

What’s more, lemon juice is used in both Dai-style chicken and Nyonya acar.

Stay tuned for the Yunnan cultural promotion in Kuala Lumpur on May 12.
