Must try food in malaysia: Rendang

This dish is for those who enjoy spicy foods! Beef Rendang is a spicy, pungent dish that is typical of Malaysian cuisine. Typically, the broth will be prepared very spicy, then used to cook beef, and the spicy will be absorbed into the meat. If you enjoy a pungent flavor, you will fall in love with Rendang right away, because the dish’s overall spicy flavor is derived not only from the broth, but also from chili, lemongrass, ginger, and pepper. When combined with the fat of coconut milk, the soft sweetness of beef, and a little sour taste of tamarind, the spicy flavor will be balanced and enhanced.
