Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Feeling like it's getting harder finding traditional Malay food. Is it just me? (self.cafe)

Like, when you go out for Malay food these days, its usually

tomyam
western
fried chicken (berempah, kunyit etc)
nasi lemak, usually part of fried chicken series

Where had all the old timey traditional dishes gone? Somehow it seems like they only survive in nasi kerabu shops.

I also wonder about our fellow Malay diet nowadays. How much has changed as we transition to modern lifestyle, and how much they keep to their traditional recipes?

Most I see have rice and ayam goreng, no sayur, as a daily staple ☠️

Wah, so "healthy". If that's what their wallet can afford I dunno what else to say.
