639315 Sat Jul 25 05:14:30 -0700 2009 8 1 San Francisco Bay Area 0 4889244 I just got back from Kuala Lumpur (due to circumstances, I wasn't able to be as food adventurous as I would've liked, but I did try my best) and was wondering if there are any decent renditions around here for a teh tarik, char kway teow, roti canai or similar if the urge struck? I know near me the Asian Wok & Grill (the former China Chef Wok & Grill - they changed the name while I was gone) has some dishes from the area, and I did a little research and some mentions of places like Kopitiam, Layang Layang, Lime Tree, and Old Town Cafe. Any insights into the latter places or any others that I didn't mention? Sat Jul 25 05:14:30 -0700 2009 10381 josquared 1 4889880 The best I've had overall that's still in business is Kopitiam in Lafayette, though I prefer the roti canai, chow kway teo, curry mee, and Hainan chicken at Singapore-Malaysian in SF. I haven't been to the South Bay places, so can't compare.

Pretty decent, not sure if it's excellent. Sat Jul 25 12:00:02 -0700 2009 4889244 54804 bbulkow 2 4892325 I think you mean Langkawi Malaysian Cuisine in San Mateo. I recently attended a dinner there with a group of Malaysians - they were all quite happy with the food (and felt that it was a very good representation (and we liked it too!)

SF Chinatown, on Washington Street, across the street from Portsmouth Square. Can't vouch for the rest of the menu. Sat Jul 25 12:46:05 -0700 2009 4889244 10032 david kaplan 2 4890103 I too just returned from Kuala Lumpur. Penang Garden on Washington in the old Golden Phoenix space is OK. I liked the roti canai and the strawberry chicken. Sat Jul 25 13:47:38 -0700 2009 4890006 10131 Chandavkl 1 4890886 We live about 10 minutes from Layang Layang and go frequently. Excellent Myalaysian food in a casual setting. Can get crowded on the weekends for dinner, as it is not a big place. Great savory food as well as great desserts. Great Roti Canai!
