This paper attempts to provide and insight into the modernization of Malay food ingredients within Malay communities. Its approach is sociological, using qualitative method of interview and observation, inquiring into the usage of modern food ingredients in the preparation of Malay dishes. Focusing on a small group of consumers in Puncak Alam, Selangor, the findings indicate that the motivation behind choosing modern food ingredients is to save cooking preparation time while improving nutrient intakes.
