Do you celebrate food holidays? Nobody celebrates food holidays better than the United States. Did you know that those hungry Americans have more than 175 days dedicated to some of their most favorite foods?

But who gets to designate these national food days anyway?  If we had our way, we would probably petition for the following local delights to be given their own special day right here in Malaysia. You know you're truly Malaysian if you can agree to at least 12 out of 15 foods on this list:

Roti Canai

Rojak

It's not totally healthy, but it's fruit! And hey, at least it helps us get our fruit fix in some way.

Rendang

You need to have a serving of really good chicken or beef rendang if you don't have a clue about how this delicious dish tastes like. The problem is that it goes best with rice or glutinous rice, and it's super addictive, which means you need to be prepared to put on the pounds.

Mee Goreng Mamak

These noodles can be lethally spicy. But it's friggin' tasty.

Ayam Percik

The flavors on this one just make you wanna eat more of it. And it makes Ramadan season all the merrier when they are abundant at the Ramadan markets! Juicy, succulent ayam perciks will change your life forever.
