Head to this Malaysian restaurant in Elmhurst for two kinds of laksa, currylaksa and assam laksa, both fragrant noodle soups radiating with chiles and perfumed with fermented sardines and anchovies.
Ohh the place is not classy for a date so you might as well order for to go. Sambalsquid is delicious and the fish in gingerscallion! The haianese chicken is like a steamed chicken not that special
The best Malay food in all of NYC. Wish they could expand. - salted fish fried rice, kang Kung w/belacan, hainanese chicken, salted fish fried rice, sauté bean sprouts my faves.
Wow! A little tricky for a vegetarian, but the popiah roll and stuffed tofu were great apps, and loved the Buddhist delight dish. Unique dishes and a great deal.
This place is cash only! I always order their hainanese chicken, roasted chicken, beef chow fun with egg & gravy, Roti canai & Hong Kong noodles. You could call ahead for pick up :)
What can I say... That none of my friends have been here is a shame. All the predictable delights of Malaysia. The roti/ channa and the beef curry deserves special mention.Welcome hop out of manhattan
The Kari Laksa is saturated by coconut milk, and skews too sweet instead of salty or spicy. Opt instead for the sizzling bean curd, which pairs well with the chicken-flavored rice.
They seem to have a different take on roti canai than most other Malaysian eateries here. Not so much airy and flaky, more like a straight up thin paratha. Delicious nonetheless.
Try the assam laksa ($5,95), "a tart, pungent, spicy broth spiked with tamarind, dried shrimp paste and chilies, then filled with thick glass noodles, chunks of fish, pineapple, cucumber and onion." Read more
“If I picked one dish here it’s be the butter prawns – shrimp basically flavored with curry leaves and served with a buttery coating,” says Chef Michael Ginor of this Malaysian eatery.
