An exhibition on Nyonya Kebaya was opened to public at the Immigration Museum Melbourne, Australia on last Thursday, 3rd of May 2007. Nyonya Kebaya is normally worn by Peranakan in Malacca. The exhibition of Nyonya kebaya is richer in culture and knowledge about Malaysia. It is part of the Malaysian government efforts to promote the world to visit Malaysia.
The exhibition is the dream of Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood, the late wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, to see the Malaysian traditional attire displayed in more places overseas. Endon died in October 2005 of breast cancer.
A nyonya kebaya is a work of art, a labour of love, a heritage, a traditional costume that is timeless. An attire for all occasions, it is elegant, feminine, alluring, sensual, glamorous and fashionable for all ages.
For my readers who are from Melbourne, don't miss this opportunity to see Malaysia close to your home. Please go and see the exhibition. The exhibition will run until 15 September 2007.
Roti Canai is a form of puffed bread served hot with curry or dhal. Tastes best when taken for breakfast or tea time. Most of Malaysian eat with the hand which accompanied by curry or dhal and washed down with strong, hot, sweet black coffee.
Roti canai or roti chennai is a dish unique to Malaysia, which has its origins lost in the Indian community of those countries. Roti means bread in Hindi (and Malay) The term 'canai' comes from 'channa', a mixture of boiled chickpeas in a spicy gravy from Northern India which it was traditionally served with.
There are many type roti canai served in Malaysia now. Roti telur, roti planta, roti sardine, roti tisu, roti bawang, roti tampal, roti banana, and many more.. even I can not remember all of them.
It is a must for you to try roti canai if you are in Malaysia. Take it with dhal or even plain if you can't stand the hot. You can see roti tisu in the video Simple Life of Malaysian. It is truly Malaysian style.
