Local Malay Delicacies

Local Malay delicacies, worth trying:

* Asam Pedas, the signature dish of the state. A very hot and mild sour curry which accompanying white rice. Normally eaten during lunch and dinner.
* Sambal Belacan, a side dish, super spicy.
* Cencaluk, can be found sold along the roads near Klebang Beach. Made of fermented krills. A bit weird tasting for those who are not used to it.
* Lemang, glutinous rice cooked in bamboo, sold on the side of the road to Teluk Mas
