Ipoh Malay Cuisine - Vancouver, British Columbia

Tried Nasi Lemak with beef, but the rice was not cooked in coconut milk. Tried Char Kueh Teow as well which was really bland. Sunday afternoon, only one server and one cook so the server said they couldn’t provide any drinks but soft drinks. I was really disappointed as I really wanted ... to try the coffee and milo and this was one of reasons I visited here. The dessert was not available either that they only had some prepared ones like pandan cakes and durian pastries. They were not many customers when we seated but the server kept asking what we wanted, her attitude was soso as well. The unpleasant experience in the restaurant made the gloomy Sunday even worse.

Been here many times, authentic Malaysian cuisine and no-nonsense efficient service. Unassuming storefront, but interior is decked out in nostalgic Malaysian memorabilia. Their claypot dishes come out sizzling and portion is reasonable to generous. Flavour is on point with seasonings not often found in other southeast Asian ... joints in Van. Other notable dishes I’ve tried in previous visits include their Shrimp Curry in bread bowl, and Assam Laksa. Shrimp curry in bread bowl is massive and tastes of decadent coconut-milk curry. Assam Laksa (different from coconut laksa) is citrusy, savoury and lighter tasting compared to its coconut milk-based variety, i find it refreshing on a summer day. I was quite surprised that they make decent (though pricey) pandan cake as well, i haven’t had pandan cake of this quality since I was in Singapore. Their kuih dadar (coconut paste wrapped in pandan crepe) is quite special too. Highly recommended, though best to make reservation on weekends, the place gets packed quite quickly. Read more

This place was pretty good. We ordered the nyonya style deep fried fish, prawn hokkien mee, seasonal veggies in garlic sauce and Taro ring. The nyonya style deep fried fish was good with a good spice and sweetness from the pineapple. The fish was very tender as well. The Taro Ring was ... also very good. The outer shell was nice and crunchy and the inside was nice and soft. The prawn hokkien mee was a bit toned downed on the prawniness but the noodles and texture were good. The sambal was also not too spicy. Lastly, the veggies with garlic sauce was probably the best of the dishes being flavorful and balanced. Read more

Ipoh Malay cuisine is tucked away in a small plaza in the Marpole area of Vancouver. It's very spacious and quaintly decorated. Roti Canai Beef rendang Seafood Tofu Delight Malay Char Kueh Teow Sweet & Sour Fish Ipoh Hor Fun Soup Noodles Malaysian Specialty Vegetables Hainanese Chicken Rainbow Ice Kachang Cendol The Malaysian Specialty Vegetables had both eggplant and okra listed ... in the description on the menu. Sad to say, there was barely any eggplant or okra in this dish. We wouldn't order this dish again as it was quite a disappointment. Aside from the Malaysian Specialty Vegetables, this place is a good place to go to for some Malaysian eats. The Seafood Delight was very enjoyable, and I was also very impressed that they were willing to make a Vegetarian version of the Ipoh Hor Fun Soup Noodles for us. The menu is quite extensive so you're sure to find something that will peak your interest! Service: Good Parking: Free Location: 1316 West 73rd Ave., Vancouver, BC Read more
