I was in Penang, Malaysia for 6 months and Singapore (formerly part of Malaysia) for another 6 months. This is the first place I've been in the US where the dishes tasted original and really good! The Roti is a favorite appetiser. The Nasi Lemak and Briyani are also Indian-Malay dishes that I like, and are spicy. The mee dishes (flat noodle base) are also quite good. Must be able to handle spicy, though you can request the cook to back off on the ""chili"". My only complaint: closed on Sunday. :(\r

Bonus: While waiting for takeout, try a curry chicken pastry...
Pros: Authentic and really tasty Malay/Indian/Sing dishes! Nice ""mom and pop"" type of store.
Cons: From American perspective, the restaurant is small with plastic chairs/tables, which brings down ambience. Though in Malaysia, this is how most of the local restaurants look.
