Get the chadol begi because it’s the best thing on the menu—strips of raw beef that you fry on the skillet with garlic. Just be careful not to burn it. Their oyster kimchi is fantastic. The place is cramped, the, decor is weird and the waitresses are gruff old ajummas, so don’t expect to be pampered. But damn, the food is good.

Awesome food, and my friends from Taiwan say it tastes almost exactly like a Taipei street market. The service is snappy and it’s cheap, too! It’s a small restaurant though so it’s not good for parties of more than 4.
I like the 滷肉飯 (stewed pork over rice), the 刮包 (Taiwanese pork hamburger) and the 鹽酥蝦 (salt and pepper shrimp) the most.

Great food, huge portions, and not too expensive. I had some kind of curry beef dish that was fantastic. The mango chicken, however, was basically just sweet-and-sour chicken with mangoes in it, it was too sweet. Service was friendly and reasonably fast.

Nasi Lemak is delicious (curry chicken with coconut rice and some curry veggies on the side). A little expensive for Asian food, but the curries are great and there are some pretty exotic selections. Service is not particularly friendly, and you might get your entree 5 minutes before your friend does, or vice versa. They make you pay cash so they can cheat on their taxes. Pretty decent Malaysian food overall though.
