Nothing speaks more Malaysian than our eating and chilling culture at our beloved spots — the mamak and kopitiam. While we do have fleets of fancy cafes popping up all around, Malaysians still enjoy the former, largely because we can all dine good local cuisine for cheap.
And best of all? They’re usually open for long hours and, back in the days before MCO, they were open 24 hours!
And after a long period of time being stuck at home, who would’ve thought that the normal taste of char kuey tiao, roti canai or laksa would bring nostalgia and tears to our eyes. Being able to eat outside once again sure is bliss! The warmth and familiarity of the mamak and kopitiam we all grew up with can fill up our souls once again. Although we’re now free to dine at our fave hawker centres, remember to remain cautious and practise the SOPs to stay safe. Keep those masks on wherever you should, y’all!
