| - There aren't too many Malaysian restaurants in Vegas that I know of so I was extremely excited to finally dine at Island Malaysian Cuisine. If I had to explain what type of dishes Malaysian food had to offer I would have to say it's a mixture of/influenced by Chinese, Thai, and Indian food FYI. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a shopping complex in Chinatown. The inside is really nice but dark, there is ambient string lights hung throughout. The place was immaculately clean too always a plus. We were the only patrons inside the restaurant on a Saturday around 5:30 pm. Because of that we were instantly seated and received phenomenal service. They have a pretty extensive menu so I would recommend looking over the menu online beforehand if you have the chance. They also have a separate menu with photos of the dishes so you have a general idea of what you're ordering. I genuinely enjoyed every dish I had here and already have plans to come back here to eat at again!
We ordered:
-Char Kway Teow ($7.95) - sautéed flat noodles with bean sprouts with generous helpings of squid and shrimp, this and the homemade tofu is tied for my favorite dish here!
-Beef Satay ($6.25) - decent appetizer, honestly could have done without this though
-Basil Beef ($10.95) - solid dish, no frills similar to basil beef dishes you would order at a Thai restaurant, tasty and full of flavor!
-Homemade Tofu ($13.95) - tofu made in house, with shrimp, squid, and some type of fish served in a tasty sauce. If you are a seafood lover definitely order this dish, it was great!
-Ice Kacang ($3.95) - shaved iced dessert served with red beans, corn, palm seeds, and jelly, sounds really weird but it's good. If you're on the more adventurous side try it out.
