My daughter said we could meet for lunch, so we went to Satay Malaysian. I used to buy takeout…read morethere after work when I had no time to cook or when it was already too late. I always order the same things: half chicken, Indian crispy bread with curry sauce, slippery egg thick rice noodles (ho fun) with seafood and vegetables, and the ABC icy dessert. The half chicken with the sauce is yummy. The Indian crispy bread with curry sauce never fails -- crispy and delicious. The ho fun noodles are smooth with a decent amount of seafood. The ABC icy dessert can have extra ingredients, but there's a bit too much ice. Still decent. The food is still very delicious and kind of brings back old memories. The price is not cheap, and the atmosphere is just okay, but it was nice coming back again.

Maybe I chose the wrong things to try. Not sure ill come back since it is a bit walking from flushing.

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 :)

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 ordered several dishes: beef brisket curry, wonton soup, fried chicken, scallion pancakes, pork pan-fried noodles, and a clay pot. Everything was delicious, except for the scallion pancakes, which we didn't enjoy as much. It might have been because they weren't the typical scallion pancakes I'm used to; they had a very crispy exterior and a strong scallion flavor on the inside. By the end of the night, we loved the curry so much that we ended up dipping everything into it! lol

Sumatera (formerly Sky Cafe) has new owners but they've retained the Chefs from Sky Cafe!…read more Sumatera's menu is slightly different, portion sizes are slightly smaller, and prices have gone up (as with every other restaurant now a days). BUT the food is still fantastic! Great Indonesian restaurant with an intriguing menu! This family run restaurant is smallish but can probably seat around 26 people. Probably not ideal for multiple large groups at the same time but we made reservations early, and easily got a reservation for 8ppl. These were our shared menu choices (shared by 4ppl): ~ Salad Daun Teh Hijau $14 (green tea leaf salad w.cabbage, tomatoes, beans & green chillies): tasty Indonesian version of the tea leaf salad! I prefer the Burmese version but this salad was pretty tasty! ~ Nasi Lemak Rendang $17.75 (Beef Rendang w.spicy egg, anchovy, pickles; w.coconut rice): the portion size of beef rendang was very small but this dish was probably not meant for sharing, and more of an individual plate. It was delicious, nonetheless less! The accompaniments were terrific!! ~ Nasi Iga Bakar $22 (BBQ Ribs w.white rice): after seeing an IG video, this particular dish was on our radar! As with most social media, it heightened our expectations but it did not meet those expectations. Don't get me wrong: this was still a delicious dish; just not as great as depicted on those dang videos. lol The ribs could have been cooked a tad bit longer for tenderness but the flavors were great! ~ Nasi Goreng Petai $19 (fried rice w.shrimp & stinky beans): I've never had this dish before and the "stinky beans" weren't Stinky at all! Hahaha The large shrimps in the fried rice were perfect. Tasty dish! ~ Mie Goreng Belacan $17.50 (stir-fried shrimp paste noodles): This was a fave dish amongst the group. So flavorful and satisfying! * Don't sleep on the two hot sauces provided on your condiments tray! The bottle of Sambal Asli hot sauce was great; slightly sweet but spicy! BUT... beware of the other nondescript hot sauce in the squeeze bottle...which was FIRE!!! If you can handle this FIRE, then go for it...otherwise, proceed with caution! Hahaha. You've been warned! Service and hospitality were great; friendly, welcoming and efficient. I look forward to a return visit to explore their many other menu items!

This place deserves a higher rating! Pretty great Malaysian food…read more ROTI CANAI 4/5: Curry is mild in spice, fragrant in flavor. Roti itself is not as flaky and is a little thicker in some parts, but still pretty good. Would order again still. SATAY 5/5: The chicken has a really good char and brightness from the lemongrass. Peanut sauce's sweetness completes this. AYAM RENDANG 4/5 : The chicken falls off the bone. The red curry goes great with a bowl of white rice. It is more of a dry curry than a creamy curry compared to other Malaysian restaurants. BUDDHIST YAM POT 4.5/5 : A lightly fried bowl-shaped taro with some well seasoned and lightly sauced chicken, shrimp, cashes, and veggies inside. Some other restaurants go heavy on the fried exterior, but not this one. Texturally a really nice contrast between firm carrots, soft taro, and shattering of the cellophane noodles and fried webbing around the bowl. It is a lot of Malaysian dishes, but they also have some Taiwanese and Thai dishes on the menu as well.

See below for preferences…read more Good- 3 Cup Chicken/Sanbeiji, Fly's Head, Belacan Special OK- Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers, Baby Oyster Omelet/Oyster Pancake, Bitter Melon with Salted Egg Yolk, Mango Sticky Rice Bad- Mee Goreng, Rendang I went to this unique spot serving both Malaysian and Taiwanese a while back with a large group. The service was pretty friendly and was quick in bringing out dishes and refilling water. As said in the note, I heavily preferred the Taiwanese dishes. First to arrive was the Baby Oyster Omelet/Oyster Pancake/蚵仔煎 for $11.95. It was mildly sweet from the sauce, and otherwise, there was a good amount of greens and a pretty good amount of oysters inside. Compared to Taiwanese Gourmet, I liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet, though I found the omelet itself to have a better texture at the latter place, as there were more oysters. Favorite of the Taiwanese dishes was the $18.95 3 Cup Chicken/三杯鸡/Sanbeiji. The version here was much more flavorful, with a balanced amount of sweetness, saltiness, and slight herbal flavors. The chicken was also a lot more tender, so overall, this was outstanding and an easy highlight. The other best dish was their take on Fly Head/Fly's Head/蒼蠅頭 for $17.95. There were plenty of garlic chives to add freshness, and it wasn't too salty from the black bean. Otherwise, it was spicy and balanced. This was also tasty. For the same price, there was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers. This was spicier by comparison, and the beef was pretty tender. I enjoyed it along with the rest of the table. There was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers for the same price. The beef was decently tender and had plenty of peppers to add a good kick. I liked the additional aromatic vegetables added on top, which added extra flavors and textures. Best of the Malaysian dishes was the $18.95 Belacan Special, which included okra/lady fingers, eggplant, and green beans, cooked in a sauce made from fermented shrimp paste. The vegetables were cooked down perfectly as they still retained a lot of texture, with the eggplant being a highlight. Otherwise, there was a lot of belacan, but not too much that the dish was too funky or salty. This was easily the best of the Malaysian dishes. The $12.95 Mee Goreng, listed as Indian style stir-fried noodles with authentic mild dried squid sauce with tofu, potato, shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and onion, was alright. The price was reasonable, but I found it way too sweet. The remaining toppings were nice, and while there weren't many shrimp, I wouldn't expect that many at that price point. On a side note, I have a cephalopod allergy, so I'm surprised I didn't have a reaction to this dish. My least favorite main dish by a country mile was their take on Lamb/Kambing Rendang for $21.95, listed as lamb, coconut milk, chilis, and spices cooked over low heat. Outside of it being by far the most expensive dish, the lamb wasn't tender, being actually a bit chewy. The worst part was that compared to some of the other dishes, it lacked heat and flavor, with there being only hits of coconut milk or chili. This is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, and I usually scarf it down, but I didn't like this at all. Last of the dishes, and unfinished, was the $17.95 Bitter Melon with Salted Egg Yolk. Due to the bitterness, I was one of the few who enjoyed it, while some of the other groups didn't touch much of it. I personally liked it, as I don't mind bitter flavors, and there wasn't too much salted egg that it was pasty. I wouldn't order this alone, but it would make a nice vegetable side along with a sweet or savory main dish. Last was the $9.95 Mango Sticky Rice. The mango was pretty fresh, but the rice could have used a bit more sweetness and a bit more coconut milk. It was perfectly decent. It feels a bit odd rating this place. A couple of dishes were outstanding, some were good to mixed, and I hated two others. Low/mid 3.
