This is a tricky question, because the Malaysian people are a rich culture. Each tribe has their own individualized "traditional" food.
In the northern states on west coast Malaysia, they lean toward very spicy, hot food dishes. Thailand is very close by, and has a great deal to do with this tendency.
East coast Malaysian states lean toward sweet dishes, and rice.
Well-known and served throughout Malaysia are:
lemang (sweet rice cooked inside a bamboo pole)
nasi dagang (three parts rice with one part sweet rice. it's served with fenugreek, onion, and ginger).
ketupat (sweet rice cooked in coconut leaves, sometimes banana leaves)
For breakfast they eat a lot of pulut inti, which is sweet steamed rice with a coconut topping. Kuih-muih is another popular breakfast food, which is a sort of sweet cake.
Cucur badak is yet another popular food choice, and very delicious. It is a sweet potato stuffed with a tangy coconut filling.
The Malay people also tend to make all their food out of local ingredients that can be found in the soil. While there are (some) populous areas where markets are available, most people use what they can grow in the soil, plants or trees.
