"1"^^ . "1"^^ . "We were worried when we saw the Grand Opening sign. I said, Uh Oh, our favorite place is gone. Every time we visit Las Vegas, we spend most of our meals here- at this gem of Malaysian cuisine that we can't get as good anywhere else. Serious! Who would go anywhere 3 meals in a row unless they were nutz about the food?!\n\nSo this place used to be called Penang and we had been coming here for a few years. We look forward to eating all the foods we can't get back home. Despite the Grand Opening sign, we decided to try it out since we already had Malaysian food on our minds. Low and behold, we walk in, and it's the same wait staff and chef with whom we were so familiar with. Apparently the chef is now the owner (thought he was the owner before) so we were quite relieved! We don't even know what their names are, but we are definitely their biggest fans. When we show up, they already know which dishes we want. Now that's personal service!\n\nThe restaurant is spacious, very clean and comfortable. The wife of the chef is the waitress and she's warm and friendly!\n\nHere's what we have and recommend. By the way, they have 150 menu items and we said we'll try them all, eventually. \n\nWine chicken soup: Oooooh, just like how my mom used to make. This is so amazing. The flavors in each of their dishes is so delish!\n\nBak Kut Teh- Chinese Herbal soup. I don't know if there are medicinal benefits to this soup, but it sure is yummy!\n\nSatay tofu- tofu stuffed with beansprouts and peanuts with peanut dipping sauce. Yum!\n\nRoti telur- this homemade roti is stuffed with egg and onions and very tasty. \n\nRoti canai- light fluffy homemade pancake served with chicken curry sauce\n\nHomemade tofu- love love love this dish. So tasty!\n\nChar kway teow- fried flat noodles kind of like chow fun, with shrimp and squid.\n\nClay pot noodles- crispy fried noodles with seafood in clay pot with sauce.\n\nPearl noodles- another dish just like how mom used to make.\n\nPangang stripe bass- this fish can be made any way and we chose this authentic malaysian dish steamed in banana leaf.\n\nChicken rice- this is so yummy and such a simple dish, and sooo yummy!\n\nFor dessert, we had mango and sticky rice and ice kachang which is like a malaysian snow cone with red beans, grass jelly, jelly, condensed milk, and corn. Very yummy.\n\nThey also have crab if you order ahead of time and they can cook it any way you want. \n\nThe only thing bad about this place is when we get home, we always gained weight, so exercise, here we come! \n\nIsland Malaysian Cuisine is a MUST TRY if you enjoy malaysian food like we do (and I'm not even malaysian but I am a FOODIE)! Trust me, this is authentic Malaysian Singaporean Chinese cuisine. We hope to enjoy many more years of feasting here and trying everything on their extensive menu (with pictures too)!"^^ . "3"^^ .
