Because let's face it – nothing beats our food back home! Which is why we can't help but miss these things when we travel:

Because [rice is life!](http://says.com/my/fun/things-only-rice-lovers-understand)
2. Being able to eat not just white rice but EVERY KIND OF RICE IMAGINABLE
3. Having unlimited choices of lauk to go with your rice

4. Starting the day with some authentic nasi lemak tepi jalan
And not the kind you eat with [chopsticks…](http://bit.ly/nasilemakchopsticks)…

9. How there's just SO MUCH FLAVOUR in everything!
We don't need "hints" of this and "subtle notes" of that. We need in-your-face flavours!
