Rasa Sayang takes you on an upscale tour through Indian, Chinese, and Thai cuisines before ending up with Malaysian fare. It might be unfamiliar, but it’s a palace of delights. The calamari—battered with Malaysian spices and doused with green and red pepper hot sauce before frying—packs a memorable punch. Manager Aaron Kwan says that on a scale of one to ten, the heat rates a six, but we recommend keeping a sweet Lychee tea (or two) on hand. Char kway teow (flat rice noodles stir fried with chillies, belachan, prawns, cockles, bean sprouts and chives) is the unmissable specialty of the house. The dessert list is disappointingly short, and prices are high for the area; but they’re justified by the remarkably consistent quality. Service is smart and attentive, and they’re used to kids—little ones have their own menu and get covered cups with straws. Rasa Sayang is open seven days a week, and takeout is available.
