First of all, the best time to travel in Malaysia.
Because Malaysia is located near the equator, it belongs to the maritime climate of tropical rain forest, and there is no obvious division of four seasons. The temperature difference changes little in a year, with an average temperature of 26 ~ 29℃ and abundant rainfall throughout the year. The rainy season is from 10 to 12. Traveling in Malaysia is basically suitable all year round.
Although it is very hot during the day, there will be showers in the afternoon and monsoon in the evening, which is very cool. Especially in Penang in the north, the climate is suitable in the morning and evening, and the cool breeze is constant. On the east coast of Malaysia and East Malaysia, the rainy season is from 165438+ 10 to March of the following year, and it is very hot from April to May and 65438+ 10, so we should try our best to avoid this period.
Second, Malaysian specialties.
In addition to rice, the staple food of Malaysians is mulberry cake, which is fermented from shrimp into shrimp paste, mixed with pepper, mashed in a stone mortar and poured with lime juice to make it slightly medicinal. Rice, mulberries and vegetables are the most basic meals. If you add onion, garlic, ginger, spices, dried fish, etc. , is a richer meal.
One of the most representative famous dishes in Malaysia is called "Satay"; Besides, sour shrimp, coconut milk rice (made of rice, meat and various vegetables), Macara (made of raw fruit mixed with sweet and spicy seasonings) and hot and sour fish are all popular Malay cuisines for tourists. Scrambling eggs, beans, peas, shrimp, fish, beef, sheep and chicken on the fire is an essential home-cooked dish for Malaysian families.
Snacks after dinner include cassava cakes and fried bananas. After dinner, there are all kinds of sweet and delicious southern fruits, such as oranges, bananas, pineapples and watermelons. Seasonal fruits, such as durian and kiwifruit. Drinks mainly include coconut juice. Malaysia is a paradise for gourmets, and local dishes from all over the world, such as Chinese food, Indian food and Portuguese specialties, can be found everywhere. But since I'm here, the most important thing is to taste Malaysian food.
Third, shopping with Malaysian characteristics.
Cardamom cream is a Malaysian specialty, and its function is similar to that of China Tiger balm and essential balm. Because of its peculiar efficacy, it is very popular in Southeast Asia, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and other places.
Main shopping areas:
Kuala Lumpur (Central Art Square, Bukit Minden Road (Avenue of Stars), Tengku Abduraman Road), Penang, Langkawi (Duty Free Resort), Kelantan, Tengjialou, Malacca, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak.
Shopping tips:
Before shopping, compare prices to ensure that you can get a good deal. Usually, the goods in large shopping centers have been marked, but ordinary small shops and roadside vendors can bargain. If you buy electrical appliances, remember to check the voltage of electronic instruments and appliances.
The supply voltage in Malaysia is 220 volts. Anyway, there are many stores that sell electrical appliances without sockets, and they can install sockets according to your requirements. Most electrical appliances offer a one-year warranty.
