If you've never had Singaporean/Malaysian food before I guess this is passable. I grew up in Sg and spent many summers in KL and this was very mediocre. The highlight was the kway teow and Assam laksa. The normal laksa lacks flavor and the wrong noodles were used. The nasi lemak rice wasn't coconut enough. The curries were OK.I don't understand why Vancouver has so much good dim sum/taiwanese/chinese/Indian/thai/vietnamese food but no one has seemed to be able to perfect singaporean/Malaysian staples.What was really upsetting, however was the fact that we ordered 2 orders of satay (8 skewers total) and they literally gave us the smallest bowl of sauce. I attached a picture of the sauce because it was just so laughably little. When we asked for another bowl, the waitress told us curtly that it was another 1$. We were so shocked we just laughed and was like "really"?? It was 2 tbsp of sauce in the bowl. Like I understand food costs have risen but this is ridiculous.Half the point of eating satay is the peanut sauce. We just said we will pay because you need the sauce to eat the satay. The sauces and satay themselves were also cold. Like it seems like they just took the sauce out of the fridge cold??? We were also shocked that they were so stingy with the sauce especially because we also ordered like $200+ worth of food... Like c'mon man. They ended up comping the extra sauce for us but I don't think I would order the satay from them or even come here again.The ambiance/ decor was nice but that interaction was really a turn off.
Looks popular as many tables were taken. Their char kway tiao is pretty authentic. Doesn’t like the curry laksa. Sambal kangkong wasn’t good, perhaps it’s not the season for this vegetable.Their wide variety of South East Asian desserts are impressive.
Great little find after flying in from Montreal and picking up a rental car on SW Marine Drive. Extensive menu, though a majority of what’s on offer has at least some sort of fish or seafood in it (neither of which I eat). Service was friendly and quick, and our meals (both non-seafood) were delicious. Portions were large and plenty enough food for leftovers to be taken home. The restaurant felt very authentic, in smell and style, and I almost felt like I was back in Southeast Asia :) We arrived at 5pm on a Wednesday, just as they opened, and by the time we left just after 6pm, the restaurant was almost full.
Great food, quite spacious, not crowded. The food is delicious and authentic, lots of selection, and moderately priced. The service is fast and polite. Great cozy atmosphere for friends having lunch or dinner. I will recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Good job!
One of the tastiest Malaysian restaurants in Vancouver. It’s flavours are authentic and distinct. The quality is also top notch with adequate portions. I highly recommend their Char Kueh Teow and Rendang Beef. The beef was so good that I forgot to take a photo. This place is definitely one of my favourite restaurants now.
Well recommended nicely seasoned steamed fish(nyonya style) ? The salted fish fried rice, Malay kwetiau, radish cake, pandan chicken wings are all well prepared and tasty. Will definitely go back if craving for some ?? dishes ? plus my 94yr old dad likes the food and he's a picky eater ! ?

Absolutely delicious! The price was affordable and the food came out fast. My fiancé got the laksa noodles (first picture), I got the beef rendang (second photo) and then the roti (third picture) to share. The laksa could use more seasoning but the rendang and the roti was out of this world. The rendang was soo flavourful and the roti was soo fresh and crispy. The service is okay at best but the food totally makes up for it. 4/5! I highly recommend.
We thought Ipoh Malay Cuisine was a new restaurant, so we gave it a try. But it turns out to be the same owners and chefs as the old Penang Delight at this exact location. They changed their name for business reasons to distinguish themselves from the other Penang restaurant (I guess old affiliates now).Good news: the food is still fantastic!We ordered Roti, Satay, Kam Heong Clams, Clay Pot Fish Head, Nyonya Style Sotong, Deluxe Curry Platter, Sambal Green Beans and a Curry Laksa.I love the curry fish head; every piece of fish was crispy on the outside and lovely & moist inside. They put in plenty of crunchy dried shrimps in the green bean dish. The Laksa is jam-packed with goodies, and the broth is yummy, not too oily (what a deal for just $13!). The roti is warm and chewy. Overall, the dishes are tasty, good portioned and very appetizing. The staff are as friendly as always.
We came here for a quick dinner today. I was a little worried at first when I stepped in and saw that they are not nearly as bustling and lively as I had remembered them to be. However, I’m glad to report the food is still pretty good! We got their Specialty Vegetables, Hainanese Chicken, and Chicken Rice. I always order the Specialty Vegetable as it has my favourite green beans, eggplant, and okras all sautéed together with dried shrimp and shallots. The portion is good for sharing, and all the veggies tasted fresh, eggplant was sweet and green beans still crisp! Their Hainanese chicken was good too, but I feel like I’ve had had better ones elsewhere. I wished the chicken was just a little juicier, fattier, and more flavour. The chicken rice was delicious though. The rice had good flavours and lovely colours, and more importantly it was cooked properly and not too soft. It’s too bad the vibe at the restaurant is not vibrant like before, but I was happy to see they have plenty of takeout business on a weekday night. Overall I thought it was good, and would definitely return!
