These 5 Malaysian Snacks Can Actually Be Your Halloween Treat

Halloween is a well-known celebration overseas. However, many Malaysians have adopted this spooky festival every October 31st in their calendar.

Many Halloween treats overseas can’t be found in Malaysia. Therefore, how do we make this celebration more ‘Malaysian’? Aside from traditional dishes like nasi lemak, roti canai and teh tarik, Malaysia has some of the best snacks too!

Some Gen Z and Gen Alpha might not know of their existence, so this is the right time to introduce these nostalgic candies to them!
