Malaysia intends to claim Singapore dishes as its own
-
U guys wanna know why ?
Because
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
haha
Seriously. I dont really see much difference between Sg n My. Its the constant comparison that results in each trying to come out with something to claim as thiers. Like Sarawak Laksa vs Penang Curry Mee vs Singapores iLaksa. hahaha
for fucks sake. its just hilarious.

Malaysia - if they want to lay claims to chicken - they can lay claims to "Geylang chickens".

I guess it doesn't cost anything to make a claim, but when you lose it to the original owner, you lose your face. The Hainanese from Hainan haven't spoken yet.
Malaysian never learn.
The "Ng" will probably indicate that she is a "Hokkien" from Fuchien.It is the Malays that are descendants from Yunnan Province as claimed by ex-PM Mahathir in his book The Malay Dilemma.
Seriously, the cuisines between Peninsular Malaya and Singapore may have similar names but they definitely do not taste the same.
To claim that theirs is the original cuisine from Malaysia and all other similar named dish are copies - would be a complete fallacy that serves the vanity of a small minded person.
If they claim that Malacca Laksa or Penang Laksa is Malaysian it is quite alright, and that the Katong Laksa is unique to Singapore - all are the creations from a mix of Chinese with Malay recipes by the Babas, can any one be considered the original when they developed on their own and feature different tastes ?
Even the Malacca "Popiah" is different from Singapore's; and the KL "chee cheong fun" is served cold - when the same is served piping hot in Singapore and Hongkong; and between Singapore and Hongkong the sauce is different too.
The Philippine "Lechon" is almost similar to our Roast Pig in taste and texture and presentation - except that there is the accompanying sauces and the accompanying dishes are different.
Incidentally, the Hainanese on Hainan Island are confused as they have no clue about this famous dish that was developed by the culinary skills of the Hainanese that migrated to Southeast Asia.
The Hainanese Chicken Rice different in taste and with different style of the all important chilli sauce being prepared - some with grounded garlic mixed into it, some offer thick black sauce, and some with a onions in the rice, while others place yellow ginger when the rice is steamed.
Is there any purpose to claim that any dish is the national dish of any one Country ?
It tantamount to asserting a false claim that the Chinese landed first in Peninsular Malaya, and the Malaysian Chinese are the original migrant that left China.
Is there any purpose to such a childish and mindless claim ?

It seems that Malaysian leaders don't know shit about their cuisine either, so we have a good chance I reckon.

hey, i kind of saw this picture at mandai crematorium...so familar -
Chili crab is Malaysian
lol no. First sold by Madam Cher Yam Tian at Upper East Coast Road in the 50s.
Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian.
I wonder why it isn't called Malaysian chicken rice, then.
We have identified laksa... all types of laksa
Including Singapore laksa, presumably.
nasi lemak
Claimed to be the 'national dish' of Malaysia in the same way chicken rice is claimed by Singapore... so which is it?
and bak kut teh
Brought to Malaya by Teochew immigrants, still eaten in China and Taiwan. Do Malaysians enjoy being such chronic liars?

Our good neighbours weigh in.
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/113171
Lau Yin Leong: Bravo. Keep up the good work. There are a lot of signature dishes Malaysia has and it is better to register the intellectual property rights to these dishes lest the Indonesians will make another claim.
The butthurt they received at the hands of the Indons must have been worse than previously assumed.
Zainon Ahmad: Can you imagine Umno and PAS agreeing to have the bak kut teh as a national heritage dish. This will lead to demonstrations with pig heads! I wonder what action we will take against those countries who do not label these dishes as Malaysian.
hahahaha, this will be worth paying to see.
Indrani Kopal: What about roti canai and nasi kandar? Why aren't they in the list? They are ours too.
Simi canai? THIS IS PRATA.
Myop101: Don't forget Penang prawn mee, char kuey teow and rojak.
Maybe we'll let you have char kway teow when you learn how to pronounce it properly. Also, hum.

In Hainan today, the chicken dish is known as Wen Chang Chicken 文昌鸡。It is different from other chicken dishes in that the chicken is boiled, rather than braised or roosted, the cantonese call it 白斩鸡。this is what the hainanese brought with them out of Hainan to other countries.
the rice that comes with it, whether in bowl, in rice balls as small as golf ball as seen in Malacca, or the big ball we see in Toa Payoh, and the different sauce, are all local variations.
Obviously the claim serves the Malaysia tourism minister a purpose, after losing the ownership to the heritage of a dance to the Indonesian. Like many Malaysian politicians, taking on Singapore is deemed an easy way to gain some points. But we all know it is childish and mindless to use any issue as such for political reasons.

Since Malay language originated from Malaysia, they may want to apply for patent for it. Imagine Singapore speaking Singapore national language and pay Malaysia for the patent. hahahahaha -

True blue Malaysian food?
They have Penang Nasi Kandar, Terengganu Nasi Dagang, and Sarawak Kolo Mee. At least those can be said to be truly Malaysian.
Hainanese chicken rice? I can't believe they can lay a claim to that with a straight face. Italics for emphasis.
Laksa? Sure, there's Penang laksa, but sorry, Katong laksa is ours.
At the end of the day, KF Seetoh said it best: you can only associate a dish with a country. It's just like how people associate burgers with the US even though it originated in Hamburg.
We don't hear Germans crying foul over Big Macs or Ramly Burgers, no?

Then we are fortunate the Indonesian politicians are not like the Malaysian.

i think singapore and malaysian food is mostly the same with slight differences, so both should share the heritage.

The first bakut teh was back in 1940 just before WWII in Club Street. I only know his nick as "Or Ku".
Post -war another stall at Cheang Hong Lim Street by his friend Ong Seh, both men came from Hokkien, Chuanchiu, the origin of bakut teh.
The bakut teh craze in Klang started in the late 1950s.
Niether we or Malaysia can lay claim to the origin of bakut teh.
