Not advertising for them. I just feel this place is worth mentioning![attach]8083[/attach]

Thanks to a friend who loves great food for his recommendation! I really heart this place!
Food is awesome, tasty, great price and authentic!
It's a family style so not much decor but the overall setting shows the owner/chef has heart. He came out to greet us warmly and asked how we like his food.
Service was warm and attentive. Our Malaysian waiter spoke Cantonese so ordering was easier. There were only 3 of us so we can't order everything but of what we ordered, we really liked them!

Food wasn't too oily. Satay were tender. Sauces were tasty. Non-commercial tasting. Oh, they can be a bit spicy, so be sure to tell them your level of tolerance!

I really hope someone here will give it a try and let us know after how you like it!

2327 Hastings St E Vancouver (Hastings and Nanaimo)

I personally never tried it; when my cook was away last year, the owner of the restaurant said he could help me out and replace our temp cook; I never replied him.

Some reviewer said it's more a Malay style food instead of Chinese Malaysian cuisine which most restaurants serve here.

I personally prefere Malay cuisine. And I hope to try it some time this week!

作者: zuesel 時間: 2010-5-11 20:29

Went with more people tonite so we can order more dishes. Here are some pics of our orders. They are all very yummy! Some dishes I ordered again coz it was soooo good the first time we went.
Very impressed of the lamb curry with rice! I thought it was beef (I don't eat lamb coz of the wild taste) coz it was so tender and nice! I found out after that it was actually lamb!

Reminder: It's too bad that they don't get lots of business probably coz of the location (Hastings and Nanaimo). So better call to make sure they are open before you go coz sometimes the owner will close early when it's slow.

**Most things are spicy...even if you ask them for mild. I think the owner's standard is different. But if you ask for not hot at all, you are not really experiencing true Malaysian taste on some of their most tasty dishes! Also, they can be a bit on the salty side. Go with that expectation in mind la! ***

i see you've got 2 types of curry lamb. I guess dried curry vs. the more traditional curry (with one white rice)? Which one do you like better? Looks yummy!!

作者: tofu 時間: 2010-5-12 16:41

the only thing i don't like about this restaurant is the smell. after you walk out the door, you can still smell what you eat.
i usually go there at lunch, and only one person is working, so the cook is the waiter and the cashier. so don't expect good & fast service.

hmm... I do not go there anymore. This is not about I am not the owner anymore but his cooking is just getting too greezy and I think he started to put more chicken powder after we left.

Still he is leaving soon (he already bought a restaurant in Kamloop) and plans to sell the restaurant. If anyone would still want to try "authentic" Malaysian Chinese cooking, I still recommend to go to try it out.

some dish other malaysian restaurant might not have "aysam laksa", "Mee Rubius".

Doesn't have great decor, but just a family, home style feeling. The food is so cheap there, I don't expect much else. There are only 2-3 employees depending what time of the day. If there's nice decor, great location, parking, lots of staff, etc., you won't pay only $7-9 on avg/dish.

Acc-He, if you want an upscale place, then should go to fine dining la! But then, I recall you don't like fine dining either, so what DO you like nei?

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2010-5-13 14:51

don't need to worry about me. I'm just adding some feedback to this restaurant, so the dudes won't take their love one there for first date or something je~

作者: zuesel 時間: 2010-5-13 15:00

A first date...I think to go where depends on the date's taste and priority. If she's materialistic then of course not an up dup place la! But if she's into authenticity and quality, then the appearance may not be so much of a concern. IMO

作者: peter236 時間: 2010-5-13 15:16

Is this place clean? If it is clean then it does not need good decor.

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2010-11-3 10:22

I just went with my friend yesterday and I love their food as expected. LOL
I really love spice. (btw the food we had last night wasn't too hot spicy but they do have lots of spice!)
We had the Daging Kambing Bryani (lamb rice). It's so full of herbs and spice and the lamb pieces were tender. But the cook didn't put the rice in the doom shape tho

We also had the Quay Teow Goreng (Malay version of the Char kway teow) and it was good but the noodle pieces were a bit too broken.
The roti was good! I like the more watery dipping sauce.
Gadou gadou was OK (not great) and I love the milk with rosewater. It's prob the only way to make me drink milk happily (other than adding alcohol in it).
Our dinner came out to ~$30 for 2 of us and we were stuff and had left over to take home.

Overall it's great. The cook was friendly and a bit chatty. The restaurant was a bit quiet but it's a Tuesday night and they closes early at 8pm. There were the cook and 1 server last night.
I will probably take my bf there and go again for lunch.

I want to try the water veggies and their curry.

I went to banana leaf with my parents 2 weeks ago around 3pm for late lunch, parked our car, put money in the metre parking, then realized they are close between 230-500pm! grrrrrr!!!

It's actually not extremely small.
It can have at least 10 tables for 4 settings. And tables are not set close to each other.
