An inexpensive, though sometimes sensational, Malay-Thai eatery that serves delicious curries and stir-fry dishes.

At this Malay-Thai restaurant, you can choose from many small plates perfect for sharing as appetizers. As one would expect, there is gado gado, almost a national dish, encompassing cooked vegetables, tofu and a prawn cake, all melded with a creamy peanut sauce. Satays of skewered beef, chicken, or a combination of the two are also delightful. For something spicy and satisfying, try dipping two multi-layered breads in curry sauce. Main courses include chicken or prawns in good stir-fry dishes (served in a mango shell) that highlight green and red peppers and mango sauce. Any of the crab dishes are topnotch, especially the spicy Malaysian-style preparation and the red curry crab. Noodles, rice dishes and special multi-course dinners are also a draw. Vegetarians will be delighted with the large number of meat-free selections.
