Must have Malaysian tea time snacks
Nothing beats having a good teh tarik/teh ais or even masala tea with some popular local treats. It could be something sweet or savoury. We recommend these popular must-haves in no particular order with Teh Klasik Royel or Chai Masala.
Pair It With Sweet Kuihs
Sweet tooth lovers, here is your chance to indulge in these popular tea-time snacks. From a beautifully layered soft kuih aptly named kuih lapis to something with a bit of crunch quite literally filled with nuts and corn is the apam balik. If you are feeling a little bit coconutty we would recommend the soft kuih ketayap or onde onde which is filled with a sweet gooey liquid that oozes out upon biting into it.

Pair It With Savoury Foods
An Indian fried snack, the Vadai comes in different variations with its main ingredient being dhal, and it naturally has a spicy kick to it thanks to the chillies in it. If you want a hint of seafood, the cucur udang hits the spot and can be easily found or even done at home. The curry puff is another classic that needs no introduction! Thanks to the ample meat and vegetables filled in, the murtabak will be just suitable for something more filling.
