- Use cotton wear as Malaysia has a hot, humid climate.
- Syuen hotel rooms have facility for preparing hot drinks and food served is halal and caters to requirements of most diets including those of strict vegetarians.
- Main popular Malaysian dishes are:
- satay ( grilled meat with spices)
- nasi lemak ( coconut milk rice)
- kueh tueh ( fried rice noodles)
- roti channai (curry and pancake)
