| - I'm not even sure that I need to yelp this, because EVERYONE and their mother across the GTA seems to know of this highly successful Malaysian restaurant.
Like Richmond Court, I feel the quality has declined over the past years, yet it still remains a staple for most including myself. I used to frequent this restaurant weekly a few years ago as it was situated 1km from my house. I was so in love with the food back then that I even had my birthday dinner there. Since that last birthday they have made huge renovations and you would never think it looks as classy and chic as it does from the outside.
The food is fantastic and the portions are sizeable. There are various Malaysian and Thai dishes that have me currently salivating as I ponder. Assorted satay skewers, assorted tom yam soups, spring rolls, rotis and stuffed rotis round out the apps. When it comes to meats and seafoods, there are at least 20 selections for each. All the rice and noodle dishes are mouth watering as well, dishes such as the several different nasi gorengs (fried rice), laksa noodles and various other rice noodle, egg noodles and vermicelli dishes.
One dish you must get is Penang Fried Kuay Teow, as a texture slut this is my favourite dish at this restaurant.
For desert there is no way you can not order the Goring Pisang. No matter how full you are, there is always space for this dish. You will smell these sweet crisp banana fritters hit your nasal passage before they hit the table, served with various ice creams such as vanilla, mango and coconut, a must for desert.
I have one quam with this restaurant however, the menu is too big! I really get turned off by restaurants with such overwhelming menus (ie. Pickle Barrel). Yes I agree you may be trying to please everyone, but it's confusing and it desensitizes various signature dishes as the rest are all spin offs. Nevertheless, this is one place worth checking out if you haven't already. Anything below with a * is an absolute absolute must for me.
Ideal Order (4 ppl)
Assorted Platter (satays, spring rolls etc.)
Roti & Curry Mutton*
Beef Murtabak (meat stuffed roti)
Malay Kari Ayam (chicken curry)
Sambal Tumis Kampung (beef)
Indonesian Nasi Goreng*
Penang Fried Kuay Teow*
Goring Pisang w/ Vanilla Ice Cream*
Teh Tarik (you have to watch buddy pour this drink)
Iced Lychee*
*I would recommend staying away from the common dishes you may be a custom to such as the chili chicken, pad thai, sweet & sour meats etc. It's best to stick to the selections above, or more traditional selections. Explore a bit!
