I was pretty DEVASTED when Cuisine Malaysia closed down. Where else was I supposed to get my Beef Rendang and Roti Canai?? Luckily, a little sign on the door led me to its sister restaurant (aka Malaya Kitchen aka heaven). I quickly looked up Malaya Kitchen on yelp (of course) and that's where the adventure began! I had a couple of foodie friends in town and this was the perfect opportunity to try it out.
foodie friends + late lunch + first time = family style!
We ordered (takes a deep breathe) roti canai (malaysian crispy pancake and curry to dip), beef rendang (malaysian staple: tender beef pieces marinated in exotic spices and coconut), sarang burong (ring shaped fried taro topped with shrimp, chicken and veggies in brown sauce), curry laksa (egg and rice noodles in coconut milk curry) and mee goreng (stir fry egg noodle in red mild sauce with mixed veggies). Rarely does this happen, but I literally recommend EVERYTHING that we ate. Craziest part? Dare I say I enjoy Malaya Kitchen more than I've ever enjoyed Cuisine Malaysia (I KNOW, I'm sorry!). Every time I write a yum review, I reminisce the meal all over again... and now I'm craving Malaysia food!
