Restoran Malaysia was bigger and fancier than we thought it would be. We have passed it many times, but this time we went in for lunch. The murals, the artwork, the fish tanks, and the tasteful decor added to the ambiance, and there was spacious seating for at least 100 split in two dining areas. Although the restaurant was less than half full at lunchtime, there were still quite a few diners.
We stayed with the lunch menu, where all 10 items were under $10. The main menu had dishes that were mostly $16 and higher.
SWMBO had the Pad Thai ($9), which came with chicken and shrimp. Sweet, sour, tasty. The portion was large enough that she took some home.
I chose the Malay Curry Chicken ($8.5). Thin slices of white meat cooked in a Malay Curry sauce. Enough heat to bring a mild sweat to my brow, but not too much.
Service was fast and friendly.
This is a popular malaysia restaurant up in Richmond Hill. It was so popular that the owners updated the space and interiors. Unfortunately, the menu prices did increase; however, the food still taste great! I tried the pad thai yesterday and was great.They have this special drink called Iced Teh Tarik. It is pricy (4 bucks) but is a specialize milk tea drink that is cooled by constant pouring of the drink from tall heights.Note: I got lazy these days and haven't brought my camera with me. All pictures in this blurb are from the net.The singapore laksa is amazing and still the best one in Toronto.

"Ok place but little parking and a premium price"
Was looking for something completely different. My friends recommended Malaysia. So we all made the trek up to Richmond hill to check this place out.
First thing, the parking lot is ridiculously small. It took me a good half hour hunting around for a space. The fact a McDonalds drive thru cuts into parts of the lot doesn't help.
The place was packed; we were finally seat after a 30 minute wait. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't know quite what to order. We started off with the mango salad. We went with the daily fish special (sea bass), okra, another veggie dish that I can't pronounce, yellow curry, some beef and lamb skewers, and some fried rice.
The mango salad was ok; not sweet, far too sour for my liking; the fish sauce was also over powering. Disappointing.
The yellow curry was really good. We ordered roti to go along with it. A nice combination.
The beef and lamb skewers were very flavorful. The meat did not have the gaminess of the lamb. They were moist and not over cooked. Nice.
The sea bass was the most expensive dish. The fish was fairly small but cooked just right. No fishy smell or taste but the sauce was too much; could only taste sauce. That was too bad.
The veggie dishes were good. Nicely cooked and crunchy without being too raw and seasoned nicely. These were my favorite.
The fried rice finally came. The fried rice looked like it was good. it seemed too "wet"; sort of trying to fry rice with freshly steamed rice. There wasn't much flavor; very bland.
The fried rice was most disappointing.
Overall the meal wasn't anything special. It seemed like any regular Chinese restaurant. But with a premium price.
The restaurant is worth a try but I definitely won't be a regular there.
