Meat Etiquette in Malaysia

In Malaysia, meat is commonly eaten, but travelers should expect halal rules to shape what is served in most Malay and Muslim-run places, so pork is avoided and beef or chicken are usually prepared according to halal standards. In mixed or Chinese and Indian eateries you may find non-halal meat dishes, and it is polite to check before ordering if you are unsure, especially during Ramadan when many Muslim locals fast until sunset.
