Here is your safe place. This is where the weirdos (like us) express our deepest darkest food combination. But give some of these ago, once you try, you might be addicted to it.
Here are our Top 10 Weirdest Food Combination That Actually Tastes Good.
#1: French Fries With Ice-Cream (Our Favourite)
Whenever you go to McDonald's grab yourself a plain vanilla sundae, dip the hot fries into the cold ice-cream (make sure it's not one drop, at least one teaspoon full!). Eat it. You can thank us later. We are not sure whether is it the hot and cold combination or the sweet and savoury combination will definitely make you go in for the second dip. Disclaimer: it can only be with soft-serve vanilla ice-cream or milkshake.

#2: Banana Pizza With Coconut Jam (Kaya)
Suppose you have some kaya (or coconut jam), and some super ripe banana. Try it on pizza dough. Put a thin later kaya on plain pizza dough (like you do for the sauce), slice some ripe banana as the topping (like you do for pepperoni) and then bake it until the banana caramelises. Try it.
#3: Tabasco With Sake
If you like spicy, you can try a shot of tabasco with sake. Get one shot of sake, drop a couple of drops of tabasco and drink it straight up. This drink will definitely 'perk' you up with the kick from the hot pepper sauce.

#4: Watery Rose Apple (Jambu Air), Ambarella (Kedondong) or Pineapple With Soy Sauce and Chilli
Maybe it is a Malaysian thing; we love to combine sweet and salty. We love to combine the sweet or sour fruits like the Jambu Air, pineapple and Kedondong dip with soya sauce even for fruits. The soya sauce is a mixture of bird's eye chilli and sugar. The sweet, salty and spicy combination will blow your mind. Oh, did we mention, the fruits need to be extra cold?
#5: Green Apple or Capsicum with Salty Chinese Preserved Plum (semboi)
Yes! This seems weird but trust us, it's good! Just put the cut fruits and capsicum into a bag and shake it with the 'semboi', once it's coated, just munch away. Don't question us; just try it.
#6: Peanut Butter With Hamburger
You probably won't know that the peanut butter is there the first time you taste it, but it adds another layer of nutty yet creamy texture and aroma when you bite into the burger. This combination has become more popular in recent years in popular burger joints.

#7: Pei Pa Koa With Ice Cream
Remember when we were little, our mother's will give us Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa, a herbal cough syrup whenever we are sick? One Malaysian ice-cream catering service started this combination, and it was a hit with Malaysian. Yes, cough syrup with ice-cream is a hit. "Now you can enjoy 'makan' ice cream yang 'sedap' to settle sore throat!" - that is the slogan of the company. Each pint costs RM 27.90.

#8: Milo Cheese and Durian
Yes, it is a drink in Malaysia. With Milo 'Kaw' as the drink's foundation, the drink is then layered with a generous amount of parmesan and cheddar cheese, finally, top with one piece of durian!
#9: Fermented Durian (Tempoyak) With Fish/Poultry
Yes, if the previous weird combination is not enough, this is using fermented durian, tempoyak. It is a tribal dish made with fermented durian in Sarawak offering a creamy taste sensation. It can be cooked in various ways including tempoyak soup with fish or any poultry — a mouth-watering deliciousness, especially for a true Sarawakian.
#10: Soy Sauce and Ice Cream
Hear me out: soy sauce and vanilla ice cream are incredible together. (disclaimer: make sure you are using light soy sauce!) It is like have salted caramel on ice cream without the extra sweetness.
Since the new year is coming, it is time to go out and be adventurous. You will definitely thank us later.
