Excuse me Buzzfeed, I think you mean "1000 Reasons Malaysia Is The Most Delicious Place On Earth"

Dear Buzzfeed, Malaysia and Singapore have a long rivalry over their food. Malaysians everywhere, and even some Singaporeans, are aghast over your "Singapore Is The Most Delicious Place On Earth" story.
Firstly, Malaysia is the country where Singapore was originally from. Malaysia is 475 times larger than Singapore, yet the food is yummier and more affordable (read: not overpriced).
Singapore's white and pasty Hokkien Mee? You've not tried REAL Hokkien Mee until you've tried authentic Malaysian Hokkien Mee.
Hokkien noodles has since turned into almost a Chinese MALAYSIAN culinary icon, almost all Malaysian styled restaurants serve this savoury and addictive noodle dish. Why do I call this sinful? Well, because a true Hokkien noodle dish contains pork fat or 'chu you cha', essentially pork fat rendered in hot oil and fried to crispy deliciousness.
It may have its roots in the Fujian province of China, but the Hokkien mee you'll find in Penang is different.

Char Kway Teow? The sentence "The Best Char Kway Teow" always only ends with "is in Penang Island".
When it comes to Penang hawker food/street food, there are a few dishes that are chart-toppers: Penang Assam Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Noodles, and Char Kuey Teow.
Char Kway Teow or Malaysian Fried Noodles is a popular street food that has come to personify street food in Malaysia and can be found at most local coffee shops and hawker stalls.

Milo? Though Milo is sold in countries worldwide, it was originally developed in Australia. Milo has a 90% market share in Malaysia, and Malaysians are said to be the world's largest consumers of Milo.
Mamee Monster is the epitome of every Malaysians' childhood. Why? Mamee Monster is a Malaysian company, this snack is made in Malaysia.
Mamee Double-Decker Berhad is a Malaysian based company with interests in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of snack foods, beverages, and other products. It has its registered office in Malacca. Mamee was incorporated on 3 August 1991 and was listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange's main board on 18 March 1992.

White Rabbit Creamy Candy is a brand of candy manufactured by Shanghai Guan Sheng Yuan Food, Ltd. White Rabbit Creamy Candy originated at the Aipixi Candy Factory of Shanghai in 1943, when a merchant from Aipixi tried a milk candy from England and thought that its taste was not bad. After half a year of development, he then manufactured the factory's own brand of milk candies.
Furthermore, several of the recipe links of these "Singaporean food" in your story outlinks to Rasa MALAYSIA. 'Rasa Malaysia' means taste of Malaysia in the Malay language. #justsaying

Malaysians plan road trips based on the food they want to eat. When they go to states like Penang or Malacca, they might not have a must-see list, but they will have a must-eat list.
Penang is one of the world's top eating destinations.
Street food--or hawker food, as it's locally known--is the city's big draw.

Image via cnn.comIn an age when the term "underrated" gets tossed about with impunity, it may be difficult to take us seriously when we say Malaysian food isn’t getting the global recognition it deserves.
But the fact is, this stuff is good. Damn good. Regardless, once you’re in Malaysia and eating, you'll quickly dispanse with historical concerns and wonder instead where your next meal is coming from and how you can you get to it sooner.
