I recommend ...

RESTORAN MALAYSIA
on Bayview and Major Mack.
Across the street from BK, in the same plaza as SUBWAY..

All Authentic.. Halal foods..

I love there Roti!!

[felix]

What about the one in Pacific Mall? The one that used to be called Bunga Ria and later changed their name?

[Fobulous]

Satay Ria at Market Village is a MUST! There Roti is made right in front of you, their curries are excellent and they make some of the best Pad Thai!

If you like Roti, definitely try their Cheese Roti as well!

[felix]

that's the name I was looking for! :D Sorry, yeah it's in Market Village. After Pac Mall was built I can't even remember the name of that old place :lol:

[mcfoo]

apa khabar

[sammy]

i don't remember seeing satay ria in market village. is it part of the food court or a restaurant on its own? which part of the mall is it in?

[robattoronto]

Yep, one vote for Satay Ria @ Market village. You'll need to drive into the center of the parking lot and its between Market village and Pacific Mall.

There's also Salad King @ Yonge and Dundas. Its opposite Sam the record man on the road which goes to Ryerson. My recommendation is the Seafood Fried Rice with Beef/Chicken Satay as appetizer. My only gripe is that because of the layout of the restaurant (or cafeteria if you will ha!), you might be sitting very close to some stranger. Go there and you'll know what I mean. But y'know what, the food makes it all worth it and hey, you might be sitting next to a hottie who you can chat up. :D

I havent tried Satay Ria, the owner of it used to be partners with my friends dad, before they stole the recipes for the curry sauces etc.. and no opened Satay Ria..

Aight! For Thai Food Go To Green Mango!!! Its In Teh Bloor West Village On Bloor A Little Past Runnymede, Or There's Another Location On Bloor Around Royal York. It Is Extremely Amazing! :!:

Matahari Grill on Baldwin St (downtown, East of Chinatown, one street North of Dundas) is fantastic, and very authentic. It can be a little pricey but well worth it. The best dishes are the Beef Rendang, Mee Goreng and Hor Fun (no longer on the menu, but it used to be; can still be ordered).

IMHO, the food at Market Village is not as tasty as at Major Mac/Bayview. But the Malaysian restaurant I like is on the westside of Midland/north of Finch. Can't recall the name, sorry.

i don't remember seeing satay ria in market village. is it part of the food court or a restaurant on its own? which part of the mall is it in?

its across from the Bubble tea shop and the pirated CD/DVD store (as well as stairs going upstairs. If you are walking from the food court, go to the underpass where the Hot Pot and Viet places are and keep going towards the Chinese dessert place.

[felix]

Satay Ria is a restaurant on its own but the entrance is from inside the mall. Right at the end of the hallway where the popular dessert shop is.

[freebiejunkie]

The Rex Saigon on Yonge and Eglinton is great place for Thai/Vietnamese cuisine...good price, decent amount of food on plate..

[mrlarouc]

dont forget about Thai Sa-on on 10th St SW. It is definately one of my favorites. Good curries and coconut rice! ;)

[keanefan]

Satay Ria at Market Village has closed! It is completely empty inside. All the tables, booths and counters are gone.

It is possible that they are renovating (the restaurant was too big) but most likely they have closed (the big stand showing pics of their dishes is gone).

:mad: :( :|

Never tried the bbq place, but the other place has good fried noodles. They have the flat rice noodles with beef (gwon chow ngow ho) on special for $2.99 sometimes. Best deal in town for this, or so I've been told.

Restoran Malaysia
815 Major Mackenzie Dr. E. (Bayview)
Richmond Hill
905-508-1432

Tucked between fast food joints and a karaoke bar in a Richmond Hill strip mall, this no-frills eatery is easy to miss. A busy bartender shakes up Malaysian milk tea, mango shakes and iced coffees. Amid standard Asian appetizers (spring rolls, fish cakes, satays) is Penang rojak ($4.95), a winning salad of fresh pineapple, green mango, jicama, bean sprouts and deep-fried tofu tossed in a sweet, salty and spicy brown sauce. Plain steamed noodles, rice, freshly deep-fried shrimp chips and pappadum are all excellent sides, but the roti win the prize. These airy, slightly sweet flatbreads are as thin as silk stockings and oil-free perfect when plunged into the saffron-coconut creaminess of Penang gulai shrimp curry ($12.95), with its juicy jumbo shrimp, chunks of tomato and eggplant, whole okra, onion and fresh coriander. Servers are knowledgeable and helpful. Closed Monday.



Matahari (Malaysian) Bar & Grill:
39 Baldwin St. (north of Dundas, west of University)
416-596-2832
http://www.mataharigrill.com/home.html


The menu melts with tropical injections. First courses ($5–$9) awaken the palate with surprising flavours—exemplary sweet-tart tamarind-prawn soup or peanut-topped crunchy achar-achar, a Malay coleslaw with pickled cucumber and carrots, cabbage, green beans and pineapple. Dependable mains ($11–$19)—such as mango chicken, vegetable curry and nasi goreng (Malaysian fried rice)—prove popular, but less familiar jewels are worth seeking out, especially rendang braised beef short ribs (yielding, redolent morsels) and mee goreng (surely pad Thai’s sophisticated cousin). Savoury coconut rice accompanies curries especially well. Electric green pandan crêpes rolled around fresh coconut and palm sugar must be the most exotic and subtly perfumed dessert option. Bananas (pan-fried with rum and Kahlúa) and tapioca also provide tropical conclusions. One of Baldwin’s better wine lists, with bargains for patient readers. Imported and domestic beers also entice. Smooth service. Closed Monday.

Coconut Island Restaurant is not the greatest looking restaurant but the food is very tasty.

It's located at the big Chinese / Asian plaza at Kennedy and Highway 7, next door to a dim sum restaurant (Grand Lake Chinese Cuisine).

[derevaun]

I had a bread, which was similar to indian flatbreads... it was kind of flaky, had some curry flavour, but was really tasty and malay... what is this? Where can I get this??

Sounds like roti/chapati from Malaysia. You can find similar ones from T&T and larger Chinese supermarkets. They're uncooked but come frozen in packs of 5 for less than $2. They come in various flavours. Just fry them up on unoiled frypan. Yummy.

or heat them up in toaster oven

you also find rotis at East Indian stores, No Frills

Restoran Malaysia probably makes their own roti in the restaurant

Yup thier Roti's are made fresh..

[derevaun]

thanks! I think it is roti or prantha or something, just googled it to confirm. What is the curry, though? It sort of tastes like an indian curry, but I think Malaysians add coconut milk... it has a slight hint of the coconut milk.

:lol: That's paratha! :lol:
If it tastes like curry, it must be curry. Yes, Malaysian style curry has coconut milk added. Also the curry powder they use has less spices than Indian curry and more yellowy in colour.

[felix]

Malaysian style curry is yummy!

Are you serious Satay Ria at Market Village closed? I used to love that place. What happened to it?

I notice Asia Hut at 16th/Woodbine plaza closed down recently too. I just passed by it last week and noticed it's been replaced by something else. We used to go there all the time and knew the owner. :(

[muffin]

I'm going to RESTORAN MALAYSIA tonight, anyone have suggestions on what to order? i've had their roti before and its amazing and fresh too! but what are some of the regular dishes that i should order since i'm bringing a friend who has never tried this type of cuisine. Thanks!

Been there twice. Food is good but the service is soooo slow (almost 1 hour to from order to food arriving on one occasion) that I would never go again.

Satays. My favorite is shrimp. Chicken is usually good too.

Spicy fried rice. Spicy fried noodles.

[LoookingForDeals]

Satay Ria is gone now, went out of business. Their food wasn't as close to what Malaysians eat back in Malaysia as Restoran Malaysia and Coconut Island's is. I had some Malaysian friends say those two are more authentic and reminds them more of what they ate back home. Restoran Malaysia though has a bit more variety and dishes are slightly bigger. But Coconut Island has the Malaysian ice desert!

[Kai Viti]

But Coconut Island has the Malaysian ice desert!
Ice kachang? Maybe in the summer.

[LoookingForDeals]

Can't remeber what it was called but now that you mention it I think it was Ice Kachang. Last time I had it was in the summer. :)

[z_squared]

Chahaya Malaysia at Montreal & Blair in Ottawa

They have a great lunch buffet... 7 or 8 bucks, and amazing food.

Dinner menu is also great, but will obviously run you a little more than lunch.


ps: also Halal!

[i-o_o-i]

so when did Satay Ria close? I went to Market Village and noticed they're no longer there. As far as Malay/Thai food is concerned I like that place the best, most of the dishes are good and size is fairly large compared to Restoran Malaysia for example a dish of curry beef brisket with roti is almost twice the size of the one at Restoran Malaysia. But I do like Restoran Malaysia very much and it is close to where I live, but they're more expensive probably because they serve Halal stuff which is a bit more costly than regular meat. And Coconut Island is terrible when I went when they first opened they improved?

Ahhh yes, Restoran Malay, one of my favourite restauarants. Can't get enough of their roti. I go there all the time, I've probably tried everything on there menu. And everything is great. It looks like there still expanding too, the old spot where the restaurant used to be is still being renovated.

I have to chime in here for my favorite restaurant in the world. period. Sure there are fancier, classier, etc places, but if you measure favorite by how often you go and how much you look forward to the food or recommend it to others, this is it.

I've been going here for literally years. I eat there probably once every 2-3 weeks at least (take out or eat in). I've never had a disappointing meal, and the owner/chef and his wife are on a first name basis with me. Wonderful people, really make an effort to know their regulars.

If you like your food HOT, they're great. They understand that what's hot to me (token white guy) isn't necessarily what someone from Malaysia (like one of my co-workers was) would find hot. They can prepare most of their dishes to suit your taste and cultural background! The only thing that's not really adjustable is their rendang. It nearly kills me it's so hot, but I love the taste so much I just order it anyways and pay for it for the next 24h or so. :lol:

If you live in Ottawa (or come for a visit) you MUST go.

It looked great. And i havent been there before.

Oh and the food was good too. :p


I didnt care for the Rendang, but i got a green curry chicken and some roti to mop it up with. Will definitely go back again.

After few years, he started Restoran Malaysia at Bayview and Major Mac? Whoever is working there better becarefuly cause you might not get the paid ONE day...

Just off Whites Road in Pickering is a little joint called Red House Thai. I love it, it's tiny but the food is great.

WoW Malaysia is amazing.

I was just there today for father's day meal and it was great!!

Food was great...customer service was great... restaurant is clean.. portions were big.

I give it 9/10! they lost 1 point cuz they don't serve alcohol which sucked.. I always like an ice cold beer with my curry.

But food was amazing...will be a frequent customer.

Ok, this requires me to think back 15 years... uhmm as far as I can remember there are 2 kinds.. one with chicken and 1 with some kinda fish. The chicken one is filled with curry potatoes, a slice of boiled egg and curry chicken wrapped in a fried flaky bread skin, like a puff..hahaa..

Anyone know I can get good "Penang" style Laksa with Tamerind base not curry based Laksa?

Should try Gourmet Garden out in Scarborough. Most of their food is better than Restora Malaysia. The only problem with that place that it looks kinda crummy.

Missed those food for 10+ years, you simply can't find anything to replace them...Chicken rice...Singaporean chicken curry, Malaysian Spare Rib tea....yum yum.

Oh I forgot...those Singaporean Curry Fish head, simply.....

Malaysian Spare Rib tea???? You mean Bak Kut Teh?

In terms of the "chicken rice" you mean the Hainanese chicken rice or just plain of chicken rice?

That's it..Bak Kut Teh or whatever they call it in Singapore.

I don't think they call them Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore, simply chicken rice if memory serves me right.

Tiger beer with chili crab simply another sensation.

If it's "singapore chicken rice" they wont call it "singapore chicken rice" or "hainanese chicken rice" (or "Hoi Lam" chicken rice) in Singapore. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing we're talking about.

BTW, Gourmet garden have both. They arent the best as you can get back home, but they're decent.

I really miss the chili crab or at least the sauce. Nobody cooks crabs like that here :mad:

I recommend ...

RESTORAN MALAYSIA
on Bayview and Major Mack.
Across the street from BK, in the same plaza as SUBWAY..

All Authentic.. Halal foods..

I love there Roti!!

Yes this is good stuff. They renovated like last yr or something? It's so busy though and can't talk reservations. Damn.

Coconut Island Restaurant
905-943-9628
8362 Kennedy Road (near Highway 7)
Markham, ON

Coconut Island Restaurant is not the greatest looking restaurant but the food is very tasty.

It's located at the big Chinese / Asian plaza at Kennedy and Highway 7, next door to a dim sum restaurant (Grand Lake Chinese Cuisine).

I haven't been there for a while, but I really enjoy Coconut Island too.

I'm not sure what authentic Malaysian food is, but everything was always tasty.

The staff are very courteous and friendly as well.

Prices are very affordable too!

Got the address for Gourmet Garden? I like to check it out. Another good place is Lion City in Mississauga, crazy far for me but worth the trip.

Gourmet Garden Restaurant

It's not a restaurant so you might have to walk inside to find it. It's on a corner lot.

It was mentioned on first two page and I've not back to try them out for few years... :) and some time I missed to see if they still in business...

South Asia Malaysian Cuisine (南亞馬來美食)

May give it a try today or the weekend...

Bump.

Is there any better place than Restoran Malaysia right now?

In terms of food, portion and ambience.

I'm taking my out of town relatives to Restoran Malaysia, but thought i'd check in and see if there is anything better. I love this place, but it's pretty far out from where i am.

Matahari Grill looks nice, but from the pictures it looks like tiny expensive portions.

The other places like Coconut Island doesn't seem to be a decent sit down place, and more for takeout.

I'm considering this place. http://www.satayontheroad.com/menus.html

Also does anyone know if i can find these in the GTA?
