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.

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

“much better options elsewhere e.g. Nyonya, taste good, urban hawker, satay, pulau pinang etc”
