Singaporean/Malaysian in the GTA--ok lah!

Roti Canai with Beef Curry @ Restoran Malaysia

Hubby and I have not eaten Malaysian/Singaporean food in years! The girls have not tried it and Grandma has forgotten. So we decided to have dinner one time at Restoran Malaysia in Richmond Hill. It was packed when we got there at about 6pm on a Sunday and we saw a few come in pick up their to-go orders. This must be good! Some friends recommended this place as well so we no longer needed to be convinced further.

And there is a reason why there were so many people—it was great! In fact, in the middle of the first dish, we were already thinking about when we will come back! I wanted the girls to try the Roti Canai (traditional Malaysian flatbread) with Curry Beef. They loved it! Well, DD#2 did not care much for the curry but the rest of us enjoyed it. It was airy, not oily and had a hint of sweet and char. I would have been happy to just have that.

Ok, I lied. Of course I had to try the other dishes! We discovered a couple of dishes which we know will become staples! For DD#2, who is not fond of spicy food, we got some Malay Fried Chicken (Ayam Goring Kampung). Served with shrimp crackers, these boneless delights were crispy and so tasty!

Obviously, we had to try their Singapore Laksa, a popular spicy noodle soup. The Miki noodle was nicely cooked and immersed in a delicious curry broth. The bowl was packed with chicken, tofu, fish cake and shrimp with some bean sprouts. Hits the spot! It was the right amount of heat with the slightest amount of sweet.

They also have Thai offerings. We ordered Pineapple Fried Rice but we all preferred the one at Thai Basil right across the street! Same with the Tom Yum soup. Well, that should teach us a lesson eh? Why order Thai in a Malaysian/Singaporean resto?! Duh!

Service was also great! The host and servers were all smiles despite the busy hour and our orders came out at a reasonable amount of time. Prices were also not too bad at about $10 or so per dish. Definitely worth it. We will surely come back! Ok lah!
