For Malaysian diners, a good meal is about more than price - cleanliness, taste and consistency all help determine where to eat.PETALING JAYA: Malaysians love a good deal, especially when it comes to food. But when deciding where to eat, the cheapest item on the menu may not be the biggest draw.
A recent nationwide study suggests cleanliness and hygiene rank slightly ahead of affordability, alongside two equally familiar demands: the food has to taste good, and consistency is key.
The research found that 82% of respondents regarded cleanliness and hygiene as important when choosing where to eat, order food or buy beverages. Good taste and consistent quality followed at 81% each, while affordable prices came in slightly lower at 78%.
