Sripraphai would be harried, rushed and a long wait. Any favorites? S Thu Nov 05 10:52:24 -0800 2009 56622 suetibu 1 5159217 Ayada! plenty of reviews/threads, usually a nice leisurely experience every time. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/580023 can't think of worthwhile malaysian places in queens (big overstatement of course) Thu Nov 05 14:50:52 -0800 2009 5158441 12656 bigjeff 2 5159473 good!! Top of list right now.. Steamed fish sounds good.. Thu Nov 05 16:30:25 -0800 2009 5159217 56622 suetibu 3 5159531 Haven't tried Ayada but Nusara was really good. Cannot say if it is always leisurely but it was when was there. Southern Spice for Indian, I have only been to the buffet but I based on that I believe the remainder of the praise. Not nice digs but I am sure you will not be rushed. Thu Nov 05 16:51:57 -0800 2009 5159473 239561 dietndesire 3 5162098 we've had some really big meals there and . . . the steamed fish was aight. for a group of 4: + salt crab with mango salad + papaya salad (or yum woon sen) + dark beef tendon soup!! + sour curry + maybe catfish curry with thai eggplant + maybe a pork larb? haven't had much of their regular curries, haven't had much of their noodles; I tend to stick to their salads, that tendon, and whatever else seems interesting. their apps aren't too different from other places, satays and such. meals are always nice there, they may even have the heated bench seat against the wall up and running by now; service is good and because the place is still slightly under the radar, it is never rushed, never jam-packed.

I could eat roti canai every day! There is also another Malaysian place on Prince Street that's been closed and reopened a couple of times ( across the street from the parking lot ) but I can't remember the name.!!

I should have said the municipal parking lot about one block north of Sentosa on the other side of Prince Street. At one time ( 10-15 years ago?) I believe it might have been a Penang location. A couple of places north of where the octopus man used to set up his hibachi. JK Fri Nov 06 10:30:42 -0800 2009 5160797 11061 johnk
