replying to u/ShareAccurate2437: Hi, Malaysian here: Rasa - only for Nasi Kerabu Curry House - Slightly above average for most things Malay - Chinese Malaysian dishes were pretty good Pulau Pinang - Assam Laksa is quite good Taste Good - Went there once and it very disappointing, but maybe it was because I ordered the wrong dishes. Hainan Chicken House - It's pretty average
“I don’t actually think it’s very flavorful compared to a lot of Malaysian food, but it’s very satisfying and fairly simple? Like when you just want something hearty and savory without it being a roller coaster.”

“they're consistently good, but they're not exciting / the authenticity in the flavors isn't quite "there" / their curry is actually weak (tasty, but still weak) relative to many other places.”

“At Taste Good in Elmhurst, there’s a dish called ‘four seasons’ (or something similar!) that is broad beans, okra and eggplant in a tomato/shrimp/chili sambal. It is one of my top favorite vegetable dishes I’ve ever eaten!!”

“It’s missing salt. I’m from SEA so while I appreciate all the spices (bc many places don’t even know how to use spices!), the lack of salt just makes it taste like something is missing.”

replying to u/sholeyheeit: Last time I went to Taste Good, their sambal was sweeter than it was spicy. Absolutely haram, but that was 11 years ago, so maybe it got better. What stands out there nowadays? I've done Coco and it does the job.
“I liked Taste Good, but haven’t had their sambal”

replying to u/thansal: * Bolivian Llama Party - Bolivian Saltemas (think soupy empanada) and amazing brisket and fried chicken (also great for veg/vegans w/ their jackfruit stuff). * The Fuchka carts in JAckson Heights for Bengali street food. * Zhego NYC for Bhutanese. Emma Datsi (peppers and cheese) and the pork jerky stir fry are my top picks. * Khao Nom for Thai desserts, and then try all the Thai restaurants around there. My top pick is Playground, but Zaab Zaab, Khao Kang, or really any of them are good options. * Sky Cafe for Indonesian * Taste Good for Malay (haven't been) Tl;dr: Come fuck around in Queens.
“I fuggin loooooove taste good. The beef rendang and laksa soup are some of my favorite ny eats”
