Satay (small meat skewer or kebab marinated in a sweet honey sauce dipped in a peanut sauce when grilled).

Finally, in drinks the Teh Tarik is the national one (sweetened condensed milk tea that is 'pulled' several times to air and so lighten).
You can find all these dishes in chic restaurants but most of the time people eat them in “street food” where the prices vary between 5 to 10 ringgit the equivalent of 1 or 2 euros.
