The restaurant is not that big and it was packed with diners the night we went. Service was not bad. They were not overly attentive but were not rude neither. The server who took our order gave us a heads up that a fish dish (M.P.) would be expensive just to make sure we really wanted it. Food was not bad, not the best I have had but we were all satisfied. Mixed satay not overcooked and flavor was good. Roti Canai was soft and curry tasted so good! Seafood fried lai fun had so much wok heat! The only complaint was assam laksa I wish the flavor could be even stronger. And the ais kacang was a great way to end the dinner. Btw they accept credit cards now!

Amazing Asia is a local mom and pop restaurant on Kissena Blvd. The owner was very welcoming and…read morethe most of the diners seemed familiar with each other. We ordered the pork rendang, curry stuffed tofu and vegetables noodle soup, and hakka fried chicken leg. This restaurant emphasizes that it's self service and no tip required. We filled our own waters from the cooler and had access to napkins and cutlery on the tables/drawers. The pork rendang came out first and had a large mound of white rice. The pork pieces were minimal and the taste was bland and dry. The potato chunks were soggy and tasted old. The rendang seemed to be cooked in bulk and sat for a long time as it did not seem fresh at all. Next came the curry noodle soup, which was quite average. It came with a stuffed tofu, stuffed pepper and a plain tofu. The broth could have been richer in curry flavor but was sufficient for the dish. It helped satisfy my craving but would definitely prefer the one at Malay restaurant. Lastly came the hakka fried chicken leg, which wasn't actually a leg, but possibly a cut up thigh cutlet. It was quite crispy but the taste was plain. The sweet chili sauce it came with helped a lot. I wouldn't say I had a great meal here since we were quite disappointed by the pork rendang. The restaurant still seemed quite popular with Chinese diners on a Friday night.

Not only…read moredid Pulau Pinang serve up some fire Malaysian and Taiwanese dishes, it also had the laid back, no thrills, cha ca teng vibes that I needed after a busy week. The cereal fish filet 麦片鱼 was by far my favorite dish of the night! I've had cereal shrimp so I had some expectations but their version exceeded it. Their cereal part was very crispy, flavorful, buttery, and featured stringy egg. I loved the subtle sweetness and basil spices. The fish pieces were also very tender and sliced thinly. With the light tapioca batter it was perfectly crunchy on the outside, but not too overshadow the cereal part. You know I had to try their belachan ong choy 马来风光 which was well seasoned and had good wok hei which was amplified by the sizzling clay pot. Their belachan is more pork and garlic forward (rather than shrimp focused) and more on the dry/less sauce side. Yum! I'm not a huge oyster fan but my partner enjoyed the pancake and its comforting chewiness. The bitter melon with salted egg was very tasty. The ratio of egg to melon was perfect for salted egg lovers like me. The black bean clams was alright since the sauce was a little too gingery. The ice kacang brought me back to my childhood eating the same thing in Singapore and Malaysia. I enjoyed the ratio of coconut sugar syrup and condensed milk. Enjoyed the ratio of grass jelly, other jellies, and red bean. The ice, milk, raw peanuts, and other toppings create perfect textural contrast with each other! Personally I wish there was more sea coconut pieces nevertheless!! Service was as expected for a neighborhood spot. Food came out quick and pipping hot. Still thinking about the fish and can't wait to come back next time!!

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.
