Open since 1988, this is one of the oldest Malaysian spots in the city, and might be my favorite. Pictured is their outstanding take on beef rendang among others. This meal is not recommended to those who avoid shrimp, as most dishes contain belachan. The food below is all ordered family-style, and we'll share everything.
