While you are busy hunting down restaurants suggested by your new Malaysian friends, take note of all different types of roti’s you can order. You can try their delicious Roti canai / roti kosong – plain flatbread, Cheese with Roti – flatbread that has cheese, Telur Roti – flatbread with an egg, Jantan Roti – roti with two eggs, Bawang Roti – with onions, Susu Roti – flatbread sprinkled with condensed milk, Roti banjir – chapati submerged in a thick curry and Roti tissue – a sweet, thin, cone-shaped flatbread.

3. Enjoy shopping at Petaling Street

From local snacks and fruits to fake label goods, Petaling Street has EVERYTHING you would want! The market opens in the early afternoon and closes down late at night. Just remember to bargain for everything you want and bargain HARD! Also, don’t be surprised to see them greet tourists in more than five languages while tapping on their calculators fiercely to offer customers the “best price”.

4. Go for a road trip or take the intercity train

Traveling by road or by train lets you see so much more of Malaysia that is comparatively untouched by international travelers spending a short period of time. Furthermore, you’ll get to interact with the locals when you take a train or a bus. This is one of the best things to do in Malaysia as this will help you save a lot of money and time together.

5. Don’t forget to try their local tropical fruits

There are fruit stands everywhere in Malaysia selling local tropical fruits. You can see and spot them inside the shopping malls, at tourist attractions, train stations, along with major highways or even by the side of the roads. We recommend you try them, especially if you haven’t seen them in your home country before. Even if you’ve had, they might taste different because of the climate.

6. They take multilingualism to the next level

I would like to end this blog with a fun fact about Malaysians.

Thanks to their education system and the opportunity to live in a culturally-diverse environment since young, many Malaysians can speak at least two, unlike languages. On top of that, almost everybody, especially city residents, speak and understand English. So before you say anything erroneous during your stay in Malaysia, keep this in mind!

Bonus Tip: If you’re traveling to Malaysia on a budget, then find cheap Malaysia flight tickets, budget accommodations and apply for Malaysia Visa well in advance.
