Malay Food CuLtuRe
The Malays of Singapore have the distinction of skillfully combining the cooking methods of their northern and southern neighbours - the Thais, the Malaysians and the Indonesians. Many of their dishes are enriched with tasty coconut milk sauces. Another vital ingredient is 'belachan', a dried shrimp paste which, together with pounded fresh chillies, has become the national favourite sambal 'belachan'. A wide range of spices and herbs like lemon grass, tamarind and coriander contribute to Malay cuisine, especially their delicious curries. Establishments serving halal food will display the certificate issued by MUIS (Muslim Religious Council of Singapore) stating that all food served on the premises conform with the religion's dietary requirements.
