Sai Wan, Hong Kong｜Café Malacca

Probably one of the best Malaysian food in Hong Kong. All dishes were great from the beef curry to noodles and fried chicken. Desserts also very decent.

Authentic & unique Malaysian & Singaporean cuisines. Servicing of staff’s very friendly & nice. Value for money.

Thoroughly authentic Malaysian flavours (or as close as you can get) - flavourful, vibrant, rich, potent. Char kuey teow, nasi lemak, chicken satay, onde onde cake all excellent. Char kuey teow is VERY hard to find in HK: especially the type with depth of flavour, adequte charring from the wok, right hit of chilli, and even the use of duck eggs. The details make the difference. Rice in nasi lemak very fragrant. Sambal has layers. The hot calamansi sits on the boundary of sour and sweet, as it should. But bear in mind chickens in HK are smaller than those in Malaysia. This is an unchangeable fact. It didn't bother us at all since the flavours were excellent. Considering the friendly service, comfortable ambience, generous portion, the price is good (~HKD150-200 per head, or more depending on how widely you order). If anything, it is actually a great deal considering the quality in relation to the price since these flavours are very hard to find in HK restaurants.
