1. Bo Laksa King's Famous Laksa & Wraps - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5R 4G6
(604) 339-0038
* Authentic Burmese Hole in the Wall with a few other things thrown in *
This spot is easy to miss. It is a counter tucked into a small convenience store on Joyce Street, not too far from the Joyce Skytrain station. He has a single seat at the…More »
2. Chilli Padi - CLOSED
* In loving memory of Chilli Padi *
RIP - I tried to go there for lunch today to find out it is now out of business. Sad day for Vancouver!

I had a funny experience the first time I visited Chilli Padi. It is in the same location that… Read more »
3. City 1 Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2E2
(604) 569-1199
Categories:
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: South Cambie
* Looks can be deceiving *
This little restaurant in an unlikely setting in a Safeway anchored strip mall is serving up some excellent Hainanese chicken. You wouldn't expect it from looking at the location outside.
They started off with a clear soup…More »
4. Tamarind Hill Malaysian Cuisine
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2J1
(604) 990-0111
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
* Malaysian in Persia *
Found in an unlikely location in the heart of the Persian area of Lonsdale, this restaurant had me a bit worried both by its location and the overall slightly non-hole-in-the-wall appearance. But my char kway teow was one of…More »
5. Seri Malaysia Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V6
(604) 677-7555
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Visited this Halal Malaysian place today. The service was extremely friendly and gave a very warm welcome. Ordered a nice spread including roti canai, french beans with belachan, veggie curry, chili prawns, and keow teow.
The roti canai were piping…More »
6. Mei Jan Hong Beef Jerky
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 273-6889
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Excellent Singaporean style beef jerky specialist. This stuff is addictive! It is the crack of the meat world. They should have some pushers giving out samples to vegetarians to hook them!
7. Hawkers Delight Deli
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 709-8188
Categories:
Delis,
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
* Almost like the hawkers in Singapore *
With the heat yesterday sitting in the small dining area it *almost* reminded me of being at an outdoor hawker food court in Singapore. Ok. Scratch that. It wasn't even close to hot enough. We are such…More »
8. Jonker Street Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2X7
(604) 688-8565
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Excellent roti canai *
Ok, let's just get this right out there: Order the roti canai.
It was the best version I've had in Vancouver. It was crunchy on the outside, served piping hot, and had nice flaky layers inside. The curry dipping sauce was…More »
9. J.R.'s Taste of Ceylon
Vancouver, BC V5N 3L8
(604) 708-3008
* Delicious Sri Lankan specialties *
I haven't found much in the way of Sri Lankan food in Vancouver, and heard about this spot offering homestyle Sri Lankan food and had to just head on over.
Made the mistake in my excitement of trying to go for…More »
10. Prata Man Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 3V9
(604) 278-1348
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
This is a hole in the wall Malaysian restaurant with authentic spicing. The quality is normally pretty good, but can be variable depending on the day. Generally quite popular though. My favourites are their curries.
11. Tin Tin Kitchen
* Ulterior motives *
Ok, I would like to say I popped by Tin Tin today to grab a HK style milk tea. And yes, that technically is correct - I got the $1.75 cold milk tea and it was good.
But in reality the REAL reason for my visit was to finally snap…More »

12. Malay Curry House
Vancouver, BC V5R 5M2
(604) 438-4288
* Transitions *
I passed by Bowl of Stars (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and with shock saw they had quickly changed over to something called, "Malay Curry House." Yikes! What happened?!?!! They were always busy, and provided a wonderful Xinjiang…More »
13. Bo Laksa King Bubbles & Bits

* Bo's expansion Burmese and other S.E. Asian offerings *
Bo, of Bo Laksa King's Famous Laksa & Wraps (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) has expanded to offer more a full service restaurant experience at this location.
He has a much more extensive menu at…More »
14. Chili Garden
* Non-specialists scare me *
Ok, during Car Free Days on Main we craved Hawker's Delight. Trekked to the end of the car free zone and were reminded that they are closed on Sundays. Argh! Looked across the street to where Sandy's Filipino used to be…More »

Vancouver, BC V5P 3V8
(778) 371-8092
Category:
Indonesian
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
* Welcome home *
The owner is really welcoming here and very chatty. She really makes you feel at home.
When you walk through to the back to use the washroom the kitchen kind of looks like a home kitchen as well! Most of the appliances are the home…More »
16. Penang Delight Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5M 3W2
(604) 566-9898
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
* New Malaysian spot *
I was seated at a table next to a customer from Malaysia at this newly opened Malaysian spot. He was a pretty amusing guy.
It just so happens that I ordered the exact same dish he had ordered - char kway teow. I was a little…More »
17. JB Malaysian Cuisine
* Cantonese "Malaysian" *
This is in the location of the old Miki Ramen house (which I am not surprised at all went out of business based upon my single visit there: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
Sadly the replacement hasn't done much to up the ante…More »

Vancouver, BC V6N 3E6
(604) 266-7355
Category:
Indonesian
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
There is a limited selection of Indonesian restaurants in Vancouver, so I wanted to really like this place. I was a bit suspicious based upon the location since the quality of Asian food in Vancouver seems to be inversely proportional to how far…More »
19. Orchid Delight Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6J 3J3
(604) 731-0221
Neighbourhoods: Kitsilano, Fairview Slopes
Buh bye - closed.
No more Malaysian food on this little strip of Burrard. Their quality had been slipping recently, and I had actually stopped going myself. I guess many others noticed as well. Too bad.
20. Prima Taste Restaurant - CLOSED
(cue music) "Bump, bump, bump....Another one bites the dust.....Bump, bump, bump.....Another one bites the dust....And another one gone, and another one gone....Another one bites the dust."
Didn't take too long after that extremely negative health…More »

* WHAT were they thinking?!?!?!?! *
This is in the location that used to be Jonker Street (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...). I don't know if it is the same owners, but I recognized some of the staff. If it is the same owners, I don't know what the owners…More »
