I’m from Perak, a city steeped deep in history of colonisation.

I love rendang, a type of curry, with lemang, a rice item.

We love eating spicy food.

What sights or experiences in your country are not to be missed?

Visitors should definitely try the street food. I’d recommend dining at a pasar malam, or night market.
