The Malay people ate sago, sweet potato and tapioca as their staple food and switched to eating rice and curries when the Indians arrived. They added noodles and soy products, including soy sauce to their menu when the Chinese arrived. They added toast, butter, marmalade when the British arrived. The Malay people eat three big meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and two small meals at coffee break and at tea time, thus making it altogether five meals a day.
