Malaysian yumminess!

i had malaysian food for the first time yesterday at My Nyonya Gallery Authentic Malaysian Cuisine Restaurant and Cafe on DaGu Lu. to me, it tastes like a mix of thai and chinese, which makes perfect sense. i really enjoyed the beef curry you see in the picture. the fried noodles would have been good if they had more flavor. i had coconut rice, which was slightly coconut flavored rice. the "morning glory," or garlic kongxingchai (hollow root veggies) was awesome! lastly, the curry puff (curry filled fried pastry) wasn't as good as i thought it would be. my coworker Mandy loves this place. i would have to say the morning glory and curry were my faves. plus i had malaysian milk tea, which tasted like any other milk tea i've had. after we ate, she showed me her apartment, which is on the 6th fl but you could see for miles and i got to play with her retriever, asahi. it brought me so much joy to romp around with a canine. we walked around the park across the street where asahi played with a bunch of crazy small pooches, mostly furry dogs like poodles, pekingnese, and shitzus. mandy tells me there is a double standard with canines here. the little ones get to be off leash but the big ones don't. ironically the big ones are more well behaved. there are no real dog parks here in SH but owners do makeshift ones on lawns. and dogs can't play at the park, they can only walk thru them, but since it was night time, no guards were really on duty. we also walked around her complex which has a lake in the middle and gazebos that take you to the parking structure below. there was also a restaurant in her complex. DaGu Lu is a pretty convenient street to live on!
