We would like to introduce one of Monash's Nutrition and Dietetics Alumni, Ms. Zhiqi Hoe, who is originally from Malaysia.
In the following video, she shares her experiences of working within the field of dietetics in Malaysia, highlighting her post-graduation journey, differences in work culture and communication styles between Malaysia and Australia, drawing from her experience on placements, and providing valuable advice to our fellow graduates.
Please note, any information shared by the professionals are not representative of their respective organisations, and are based purely from their personal experiences and views.
Food Culture
We’re living in a world with a wide variety of unique food cultures! Cuisines and eating patterns between countries and ethnicities may be different - this could be a challenge when living or practising as a nutrition professional overseas.
Our fellow international members collected their cultural food stories while back home during the 2023 summer break. Here are some examples of food you can expect in Malaysia.
More information on the national dietary guidelines of Malaysia can be found here.
