East District, Hsinchu City｜馬來老爹

In general: great prices, large serving sizes, plenty of good dishes, love the noodles. Fried noodles: highly recommend this to everyone. Very Southeast-Asian style noodles with the same aromas and flavour. Curry laksa: creamy, flavourful Penang style curry laksa. I also could not recommend this enough. Not expensive for Laksa. Curry dishes: I love the omelette series. Their curry sauce pairs well with that. Not too fond of their curry dishes without the omelette. I think there is room for improvement for their rice dishes. I don't like their mushy rice. That's one of the biggest reasons their Nasi Lemak didn't make the cut for me. Their KL Hokkien Mee is also lacking lard bits.

One of the few places that has actual spicy food. Though the dishes are based on Malaysian cousine, it has a subtle taste of the Taiwanese culture due to Taiwanese preferences on lighter flavour dishes. It is also relatively cheap compared to any other restaurant around the area. The food made by the restaurant is also verified by several Malaysians to be closest to the original taste in their Homeland as much if them visit to ease their homesicknesses.

Delicious, high cp
