replying to u/KowloonSoReal: Wok Wok is great on delivery and for takeout. For whatever reason, they're always running specials, the menu's got all the comfort hits, and the food comes fast and hot. Not necessarily the best Malaysian , but I don't hear it mentioned yet.
“Yes, Wok Wok is really under rated imo. They deserves better. Their kangkung belacan was the best I had in years. Marmite spare ribs tasted just like those I had in KL.”

“Wok Wok is my absolute fave. Run by Malaysians (I had a convo with the owners, who were lovely) and has a good mix of Malay, Indian, and some Chinese options. Best Milo Ais I've had in the city.”

replying to u/wonderwithmc: Noodle Village, 1915 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles, Royal Seafood, and Wu's Wonton King. I used to also love Wok Wok (haven't been in several years so can't speak to it more recently) and Seng Seafood (but the last time I went there, the dim sum selection was so minimal).
“I still plug wok wok every chance I get! Roti canai and chicken wings are definitely the highlights”
