What Javier De Jesus Orpi doesn't like about Penang Malaysian Cuisine:
I'm not very familiar with Malaysian cuisine, so even though a foodie friend recommended this restaurant (and he really liked it), I suppose it just isn't my preference. View all feedback. What User likes about Penang Malaysian Cuisine:
This is a no-frills restaurant in Chinatown that serves fantastic Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine. I'm particularly looking forward to the Roti Canai—I love it crispy and chewy! View all feedback.

Mixed pad Thai was fine not too special. The roti canai didnt come as pictured. No potatoes but dipping sauce was delicious. Overall not worth the cost of food.

I wish the meat had been less chewy, but the potatoes were incredible, as was the curry. The bread served with it was just perfect!
