Happy Malaysia Day!

Malaysia Day is held on 16 September every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It symbolizes the joining of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. Since the year of 2010, it has become a public holiday.

           

            Malaysia has a rich cultural background from various ethnicity and each race has brought along their very own unique cuisine. It makes us Malaysian oh so spoilt for choices and no where else in the world has food so tantalizing as our malaysian cusine.

            Nasi Lemak is a malaysian staple and its famous for its fragrant rice and spicy curry flavor. It is truly a dish that unites us all as Malaysian. Regardless of race, we all enjoy our very own nasi lemak bungkus.

One of our most famous Nasi Lemak in Penang is sold at the Sri Weld Food Court at  Beach Street, . It is only selling at the price of RM 1.70 per packet where you have a choice of anchovies, prawn, cuttle fish, salted fish and fish. The fragrant aroma of the rice and be enjoyed within meters from the stall.

Each nasi lemak is wrapped by banana leaves to lend the aromatic fragrance to rice wrapped within it! Super delicious and also super economical!

Alternatively DeliverEat also delivers a wide array of malaysian cusine! Food is indeed an element that unites us all as Malaysian. Let us not be divided by our racial differences and celebrate us as 1 nation and 1 Malaysia instead!

HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY!

#DeliverDeeds

It is the holy month of Ramadan where Muslims around the world observe fasting for 30 days. This 30 day journey is about finding inner peace, spiritual enlightenment and recharging the soul to keep it fresh and going for the rest of the year.

This month Malaysia has witnessed several heart breaking incidents.

#1: Homeless issue in KL city center.

#2: We saw how rage and anger affects a person's behavior when a young lady yelled and showed violence to an elderly over an unintentional minor road accident

#3:As war returns to Gaza, it is the children who are frozen in fear

#4: The MH17 shot down that took the lives of 298 people has affected families and friends from all around the world.

It is at times like these that we realized that we have been taking our fortunate lives for granted, thinking that this is the life that we deserve. We ought to be thankful and blessed for we are truly lucky compared to someone less fortunate.

In the spirit of giving and feeling thankful, DeliverEat is taking a step further to build an ecosystem that promotes delivering kindness.
