The love for food is central to a Malaysian's identity. And so it comes as no surprise that Malaysians use Search to keep tabs on the latest food trends, what's best to eat or simply to be entertained - by watching someone eat.
Malaysians are hardcore foodies. From eating to cooking and even watching experiential content such as “mukbang”, people across the country have an abiding love affair with food.
Search is a great facilitator of this love affair as the platform helps Malaysians decide what and where to eat, and perhaps most importantly: what’s best to eat!
In this installment, we are going to compile the interesting search trends of food and cooking on Google and YouTube in Malaysia.
