Indonesian cuisine also combines the use of dried seafoods and spiced vegetables with the Japanese method of preparation with fresh ingredients cooked to retain the natural flavour. Korean and Thai food are available in restaurants. Amongst Malaysia's exotic fruits are starfruit, durian, guavas, mangos, mangosteen and pomelos. Western food is served throughout the country and includes American, Spanish, Italian and French cuisine. Kuala Lumpur has several restaurants which rival the high standards set by established Western restaurants in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Table service is normal, and in Chinese restaurants chopsticks are customary.
Indian and Malay food is eaten with the fingers. Set lunches, usually with four courses are excellent value for money. Although the country is largely Islamic, alcohol is available. Local beers such as Tiger and Anchor are recommended and the famous Singapore Gin Sling. International beers are also available.
