Go Local for Breakfast
For a budget-breakfast and a taste of simple Malay style breakfast, just walk to one of the small stalls in the mornings and feast on the famous freshly-prepared banana leaf-wrapped "nasi lemak" (steamed rice in coconut milk). The price is most affordable at less than 60 American cent for a pack. Go local and enjoy this with a glass of hot "teh tarik" or really good local coffee.
