Curry beef noodle soup (flat noodles): The portion of beef is generous and tender, but the curry broth is quite watery and underseasoned. It lacks flavor, which makes the dish pretty disappointing. Hainanese chicken: This was average at best. The chicken wasn't particularly juicy or tender, though the rice was solid. Nothing memorable. Chow kueh teow: A decent option, but the noodles tend to be overcooked, which affects the texture. Overall, it's just ok. Meh! There are better Malaysian spots worth trying.

It is just off of the PopMart vending machine and is operated by a nice woman (#1) practically every day of the week. The name is based on Malaysian kuih, which are bite sized sweet treats. The bahulu is their version of an egg sponge cake. The kuih is sold in box sets, which are about $12 each, along with other snacks from cookies to jelly to other cakes. Their pandan treats are popular and a sucker for bunga telang, otherwise known as the butterfly pea flower, and is visually as stunning as it is tasty. Beyond the box sets, there are also imported packages such as durian ice cream, fruit jelly, pineapple cakes, Belgian butter cookies, Japanese style honeycomb crackers, nyonya kuih, nuts of all kinds, and frozen durian musang. I'm still puzzled why shrimp crackers are $18 a can or why Haagen Daaz is forever popular amongst the Chinese community. A full breakdown of their fresh offerings are on a standup sign that offers pictures and descriptions. The woman operating the kiosk is very kind and will offer small samples if asked. She has only spoken to me in Mandarin, but if she's truly Malaysian than I would venture Malay Bahasa and English should be no problem. I believe credit cards are accepted, but cash is always king. __________ (#1) Sally? Is that you?

They have a variety of authentic Malaysian & Singaporean specialty desserts, cookies, pandan cakes, snacks and even musang king durian. I got a box of honeycomb cookies and peanut mochi. They include a free can of soda with purchase of any 2 boxes of dessert. The cookies were crispy & light with a subtle sweetness & a hint of creamy coconut flavor and the peanut mochi were soft & chewy, not too doughy or sweet with a generous amount of flavorful peanut filling. We really enjoyed it. The service seems a little pushy and prices are on the higher side but nonetheless, tasted good so it was worth it :)

Their roti canai is to die for and their Kari laksa is packed with flavors. They typically also give complimentary tea for every table, which is a nice balance to everything you're eating. Given that it was a hot summer day when I had this, I got myself their milk tea which was nice and refreshing.

The service is warm and efficient, adding to the overall comfortable experience. The Hainanese chicken could use a touch more seasoning, and the dipping sauce leans a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken itself is consistently cooked to perfection: tender, silky, and satisfying. The beef satay is another highlight, well-executed and flavorful. The Singapore rice noodles could use some refinement. They're properly seasoned, but lack anything distinctive to set them apart. The beef chow fun, on the other hand, is done well, the noodles hold their texture without breaking apart, and there's a nice portion of beef. And don't skip the treats at the counter, made fresh daily. The roast pork buns and curry puffs are definitely worth trying.

We got the beef brisket curry with ho fun noodles and it tasted exactly like the HK curry noodle dishes I had growing up. The pork w salted fish hotpot rice had a lot of flavor without being overly salty, and it had crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. This was a very nostalgic meal for me.

Chose Sumatera because I just wanted a nice hole-in-the-wall homely feel. Small but personalized experience and prompt service. For the food, lots of traditional dishes on the appetizers and main course section. I ordered the Batagor drenched in peanut sauce to warm up with flavor flooding. This is a popular Indonesian street food consisting of fried fish dumplings and tofu under a splash of peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and lime juice. Something new and this dish hits well to start the visit. Main course, chose the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, a classic you can't beat. Since the food here is the closest authentic Indonesian spot in NYC, I had to try it here. Not one part of the dish was off. The coconut rice, spicy sambal, spiced deep fried chicken, crispy anchovies, peanuts and the fried egg complimented each other. This was a shared dish as my mom and I are tiny eaters but we cleaned the plate on this one. Secret operation was to introduce another restaurant to my mom and she was very pleased with this pick of mine. She grew up eating many forms of Southeast Asian cuisines from her childhood.
