Catering companies in Malaysia
The culinary style in Malaysia is a diverse one, which can be divided according to the three major ethnic groups that make up the country’s population: Malay, Chinese and Indian. The official religion, Islam, is also a strong influence on the country’s cuisine, in that the meat is prepared according to Halal standards.
