Besides the Malays, Malaysia is home to a large number of other ethnic groups (especially on the island of Borneo), each with their own language. As a result, Malaysia is a melting pot of linguistic, culinary, and cultural diversity. Photo: Rainstorm. |

| Durian is known as the "King of Fruits" in Malaysia, with a flavor far superior to that of other countries. However, due to its strong smell, it is often banned in large hotels. In addition, Malaysia also boasts a rare and distinctive red-fleshed durian (Udang Merah). Photo: Year of the durian. |

| Besides durian, which is quite a niche fruit, mangosteen is loved by most foreign visitors and is known as the "Queen of Fruits" in Malaysia. Many people believe that eating too much durian can cause internal heat, so mangosteen is an excellent choice due to its ability to reduce internal heat, making the body feel refreshed and comfortable.
