"Their dining customs are also unique, whether in the countryside or in the city, the Malays are used to grabbing rice with their right hand, and only when eating at Western-style banquets or high-end restaurants, Malays use knives, forks and spoons. ”
"However, in star-rated hotels or guesthouses, the number of tourists coming to Malaysia is gradually increasing, and there are more and more tourists from all over the world, and the dining habits are also different. ”
"Malaysian businessmen influenced by the West also use knives, forks and spoons to eat daily, mutton skewers, roast chicken is a famous flavor of Lai cuisine, locally known as satay, is an indispensable food for banquet guests, when eating, guests should carefully observe the host's movements, do according to the host's appearance, and avoid making the host's taboo actions. ”
"When you come to Malaysia, you must understand the habits and etiquette of the Malays, it is very necessary, the habits of people living in different countries are different, this is because of many reasons, there are historical and cultural reasons, different concepts, it takes time, and you can only adapt and integrate into the local area. ”
"We Chinese are very smart, Chinese people can observe words, know how to empathize, think from other people's point of view, think for others, so we can quickly adapt to local life." ”
"Malays are very particular about hygiene and etiquette when eating, they must wash their hands before eating, and put a few bowls of water between the various food and dishes placed for hand washing, even if they have washed their hands beforehand, they must still be polite to dip their hands in a bowl of water before taking the food with their hands. ”
"This habit is still very similar to our Chinese, love cleanliness and hygiene, which is a good habit, and it is precisely because of this good habit that their restaurant eating environment is still relatively clean and hygienic, which has been loved and praised by customers. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, I have been coming to Malaysia for a while, interviewing locals and Chinese who have come to Malaysia for development, and I am very impressed. Etiquette of the people, they are hospitable, meet can be very natural to greet you, I have also gone abroad to interview people from several countries before, to give me the feeling that most of the people accept our interviews, when facing the camera, are very friendly, some of them are simple and kind, introverted, not good at expression, some are extroverted, like to communicate with people, unrestrained and enthusiastic. ”
Xiao Fang nodded, "Yes, guests in Malay homes should pay attention to proper manners, respect for the elderly, Malays are used to eating with their hands when eating, so they must wash their hands before eating, they are different from us Chinese eating habits with chopsticks, they feel that it is more convenient to grasp directly with their hands, they must use their right hand when eating, otherwise it will be regarded as impolite, these etiquette and customs should be understood." ”
"Reporter Zhou, I invite you to our house as a guest, it is rare for you to come once, my parents also called and said, I hope you can go to our house to have a look. ”
"Okay, I should go to your house, and I heard Dean Zhang say that your home is in Kuala Lumpur. ”
"Yes, the transportation is still very convenient, I'll take you there, my parents are ready, go to my house for a light meal!"
Xiao Fang was very enthusiastic, and Zhou Sen agreed, everyone is a compatriot, and it feels very cordial to see each other in a foreign country.
Waiting for Xiao Fang to take Zhou Sen to his house, his parents warmly welcomed Zhou Sen in, after a pleasantry, he invited Zhou Sen to sit down, and first warmly served Malaysian fruits, before Xiao introduced Malaysian durian to Zhou Sen, which can be eaten on the Fang family's table, and the fruits are very fresh.
"Reporter Zhou, we have been looking forward to you coming for a long time, and I heard from Xiao Fang that he has been taking you around for the past few days. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "Yes, I really want to thank Xiao Fang, your son is very good, we filmed the show, he helped a lot, he came to the airport to pick up the airport, gave us a free tour guide, very enthusiastic." ”
Father Fang smiled, "Reporter Zhou, you're welcome, we are all compatriots, plus my son is still a student of Dean Zhang, Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhao are willing to be tour guides for your program, of course we are also willing to watch it, this is a rare opportunity, just let my son exercise, it's also good!"
"How long have you been in Malaysia?"
"Ouch, we have been in Malaysia for a long time, when my son went to school, we came to Malaysia to develop, we are still very familiar with Malaysia, and we have adapted to the local environment for a long time, and I feel very good to stay here to develop, and I have also met a lot of Chinese friends who have also come to Malaysia to develop, everyone helps each other in a foreign country, shares feelings and experiences, is very friendly, I also think it is very good!"
"Then can you tell the domestic audience in front of the TV about your experience of working and living in Malaysia?"
"Okay, we came to Malaysia to do business, before we did some small business in China, it was also a chance, from a friend's mouth to learn to go to Southeast Asian countries for development, there are very business opportunities, at that time it was relatively early, we were just half-convinced, and then I saw that the friend went to several countries in Southeast Asia, to Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia. ”
"My friend is bold, daring, and flexible, he really has a talent for business, and he taught me a lot of business experience. ”
"Later, I saw that he could really start a business, so I followed him to Malaysia, at the beginning of the two of us worked together, and then gained experience, life was more stable, I took my wife and children to Malaysia, lived here for a long time, and now I have adapted to the local life, and I have a circle of friends, and I have met a lot of friends. ”
Zhou Sen asked, "What kind of business do you do in Malaysia?"
Fang's father smiled, "I, like most Chinese who come to Malaysia, go to Malaysian restaurants to work, work as a waiter, even a dishwasher, and later a chef, I think it is easy to find a job in the catering industry, as long as you are not tired and persevere, you can always survive." ”
"Later, after accumulating a little capital, we will do some small business, bring China's small goods to Malaysia, China's goods are of high quality and cheap, this is our competitive advantage, many countries' goods are not competitive with our Chinese goods, European and American goods their quality is very good, but their prices are high, the cost of workers is high, our Chinese goods can meet the needs of customers, the quality is gradually improving, the price is much cheaper than other similar goods, customers will of course choose our goods. ”
