| - Decided to go here on a whim.. glad we did!! It's a massive restaurant that seats at least 70-80 people. They were having some corporate dinner, so half the restaurant was set up in 10-seater round tables. It was kind of distracting to have a good conversation because there was no partition between the corporate dinner and the regular diners.
Anyway - besides the atmosphere, we ended up ordering one appetizer and two entrees:
- Malaysia Prawn Cake (4 pcs) - these were deep fried fritters topped with one prawn on the top. They were good, but oily. I wouldn't order again.
- Mango Chicken - this was with shredded mango with chicken - sweet and sour sauce. [this was deep-fried which we think it would be - the mango was very nice, but the chicken was just okay - wouldn't order again]
Chicken, Spicy Sweet & Sour Sauce)
- Ikan Bilis Crispy King Prawns w/ Coconut Spices [massive, i mean, MASSIVE kind prawns coated in delicious blend of spices and coconut shavings - so delicious!!! - would definitely order again]
Overall, the food wasn't salty (I thought it would be) and the portions were on the generous side! We didn't order any rice - didn't feel the need to. The portions, again, made up for it! The kitchen worked fast and our order came out pretty quickly. Certain menu items do take longer to make and they indicate that on the menu, so that's good!
At the end, the bill came up to $34 with taxes in. I would definitely try Gourmet Malaysia again because the menu is big and there's lots more to try! Next up, the lobster!! Yummy!
