Some said the happiness of living in Malaysia is able to eat anywhere, at roadside or at backstreet, do you agree sir or you tourists? Though this kind of street eating culture facilitates some peoples but actually it broke all the rules of keeping environment clean and also causing traffic jams, plus many other side effects. Some said it was a tradition to eat at roadside, some said it was cheaper especially for people of low income, some just eat and eat. My observation is the surroundings mostly filled up with tons of garbage, insect, cockroaches, ants, rats, stinks, etc, plus bad traffics. But you better don't make too much of comments as it involved traditions and many more aspects.

These stalls selling economy rice with self-serving dishes. What you do is, to stand close to the stall, they will give you a plate of plain white rice, and with the rice on hand, you can pick any dishes you like onto your plate. After you have completed your selection of dishes, go to the boss to pay money. That will cost approx. RM4-5 per plate. In Malaysia, this is called Mixed Rice Stall.
