K L Malaysian Restaurant
I have been passing this restaurant for the longest time and finally last week I popped in. It is located in a home that is converted to a restaurant. I recall this location has been a Chinese restaurant and then a Vietnamese restaurant previously. I never visited this location before.
Really nice that after I order my food they gave me some red bean soup to occupy my time while waiting for my take out order. What did I order?
Roti canai. It looks nicer than what I ordered from Malay Bistro and I get three pieces instead of one. Only cost a dollar more at $2.95.
My main course is nasi lamak. Also cheaper than Malay Bistro. I paid just under ten bucks for all of this food (including roti canai). And it tastes so good. And they served a really big helping. I cannot eat it all, so I saved the rest for my lunch. Yum.
Went back for a second round this week and had beef rendang. (Did I spell that right?) Was really good. I think I prefer the K L Malaysian restaurant. I also like the people there. I think these are Chinese ethnic Malaysians. The waitress said they are cooking food in the Kay El style. They also had a lot of Tour Malaysia 2007 posters on the walls. Reminded me of some of my blog friends’ posts.
I looked for some of the names of dishes that folks mentioned on Facebook. You know I wonder if they use different names on the menu here for those items. Must take the time to write them down so next time I visit they can help me with some new choices.

I am about to go to bed now, trying to suppress hunger and you show me the glorious nasi lemak and roti canai. Can you hear my tummy growling from across the Pacific?

Woot!!! If you said it tasted good, it must be good! But… the B E S T is still here, in KL!
*STILL waiting at the airport*

u know, now we have even frozen roti canai here, and it taste soooo good. even better than most of the stalls i have been. Hey, next time, u can try search food names on my new baby, De’Cuisine to take a look what food it is
October 18th, 2007 at 10:57 am
oh, b4 i forgot, u can even cook them at home, with easy instruction given, if u can find them there, hehe…
October 18th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
hey, that looked FAB!! *Sigh* Why did I go live in a place that’s not got any Malaysian restaurants?!!! LOL… Dang! Move over, lemme in!
October 18th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
that’s correct — beef rendang!
roti canai! oooh i luv it! 3 pieces of plain roti canai cost about RM1.80 (= US$0.54), and that’s cheap! your price u paid for can gets u 6 times as much roti canai here, which means 18 pieces! kkkkkkkkkkkk
but it’s good to hv a malaysian restaurant there. at least a texan boy like u can taste the food of the tropics here!

Your takeout is just too tempting. I now buy the frozen roti canai from the asian store. They are from M’sia and really good, too. Making a mental note to order nasi lemak for junk food night Friday.
October 18th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
i never tried those before. i must find them!
October 18th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
I SEE ROTI CANAI!!! oh, major drool happening here now. I’m going to a Malaysian eatery for lunch, I’ll see if they have roti canai… gonna eat 2 if I can! whahahaha!
October 18th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
it looks really really authentic!! food food food.
October 18th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
omg. i miss roti.
October 18th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
the food looks pretty authentic to me
October 18th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
They looked quite nice actually!!
And not very expensive too. Is this from a cheap suburb or what? I don’t remember US food being so cheap.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
*waits with angel at the airport*
they look good though..but u should try it the real msian style! hehehe =P
October 18th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
omg!! Why did I have to go to your page one hour before lunch?!! Now I’m supremely hungry and can’t go to the food court before 1pm. I wonder what I’ll have today…
October 18th, 2007 at 11:14 pm
Those are all Malay foods. If you can find the authentic Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai by Malay Restaurant, it will taste even better.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
When are you coming here ah????
Nasi Lemak…… oh yum!
October 19th, 2007 at 1:57 am
I think you should migrate to Malaysia
You got the food, the people and the princess. hahaha
October 19th, 2007 at 1:59 am
looks like you will be a Malaysian food expert even before you step onto Malaysian soil
Now you make me feel like going out for roti canai for supper tonight!!
October 19th, 2007 at 7:09 am
You make me want some nasi lemak and roti canai right now. *sigh*
Hey, it’s great that there are so many Malaysian restaurants around your area. You wouldn’t happen to be staying anywhere near Dallas? My Malaysian friend is moving to Dallas at the end of the month, and it would ease her homesickness a lot.
You can email me for more details if you’d like to meet a true blue Malaysian! *grin*

Have durians for dessert, SA. It’ll be a great experience. Not to mention the missus & the kids might be avoiding you for the rest of the week. LOL
October 19th, 2007 at 9:25 am
i had roti canai this morning because of you. we call it roti prata here.
October 19th, 2007 at 10:31 am
Red bean soup and roti canai! Oh boy… It’s been a while since I have any of both! Hungry~
October 19th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
I realllllly think you’re secretly Asian. What with the fetish for Asian food and the lovely Asian missus… are you really???
October 20th, 2007 at 4:04 am
very appetising indeed =P…
October 20th, 2007 at 9:59 am
goshdarnit - i had to wipe up the keyboard on account of the roti canai and nasi lemak and the uncontrollable drooling. counting down the days to when i can go home and eat my heart out (bye bye diet!)
October 20th, 2007 at 10:50 am

Do they serve “roti bom”….smaller and a more crispy version of roti canai . It tastes real yummy with any meat curry.
They sell it frozen over here
October 22nd, 2007 at 8:45 am
The food looks good & authentic, and it’s cheap, it was much more than that in DC many years ago.
October 22nd, 2007 at 2:27 pm
