replying to u/Foodiegirlie030793: Malay - Flushing (my fave hole in the wall since I was a kid! I feel it’s more Ipoh / canto influenced Malaysian but still really good!) Papa Rich - Flushing (although I feel the quality has went down since pandemic) Taste Good - Elmhurst Kopitiam has a lot of hype surrounding it but maybe I went at the wrong time? Everything was kind of stale and salty and just okay and overpriced for small portions. Heard good things about Kebaya (technically Perankan/Nyonya food from people who later went to Singapore)
“Also, partly because they're an OG and also just because they're solid, West New Malaysia is a recommend from me. I like their chicken rice and bak kut teh.”
