Western

Western cuisine, often referred to as Western food, has its roots in French cooking. The cuisine has evolved over time to include influences from other European countries and now includes a wide variety of ingredients, cooking techniques, and processes. The term “Western cuisine” is often broadly used and can encompass a range of dishes.
Typically, Western dishes feature meat as the main component, with grains such as wheat, barley, and rye being used as the main staple. Sauces are made with butter and other fats instead of spices, and simple herb blends are used for seasoning. The Western palate is known for its straightforward flavors, which can sometimes be less complex compared to other cuisines.
Breakfast is a popular meal in Western cuisine, with items like pancakes, eggs benedict, and omelets being offered. There is also a growing trend of fusion cuisine in Western food, where dishes are combined with traditional flavors from other cuisines.
In Malaysia, Western cuisine is a staple in the food scene, with a range of restaurants and cafes serving a variety of dishes. The food industry in Malaysia is constantly evolving, and Western cuisine is keeping up with the latest food trends such as the use of locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, plant-based options, and gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. This has allowed Western restaurants in Malaysia to appeal to a wider range of customers and stay at the forefront of the food industry.
