| - In my opinion, Markham is in need of an inexpensive Malaysian / Thai food place that is not a food court for lunch (we already have a food court option at First Markham Place). To make the point stronger, the one on Markham Main Street and 16th Avenue is expensive due to the small portion. So I am glad to discover Malaysia Grill. Malaysia Grill is not at a prime location, because it is on a back alley. It has average seating, average atmosphere, average food and average services. What is not average is the pricing of the lunch specials. I ordered a Pad Thai ($6.99) from the lunch special menu. It tasted home-style authentic but not well made. In fact, it tasted like food court food in downtown. The flavour was one dimensional and not bold. But the portion was big. It came with a bottled water, which I greatly appreciated. At this price level, the value is 4 starred. Food alone, the Pad Thai earns 2.5 stars on my book.
This is a perfect example of you get as much as you pay for. As a value lunch, it is A-OK. Besides, there are many selections on the lunch menu. I would gladly try other things out.
