Another server at the hall, who declined to be named, added that Malaysian food is more than just mee goreng. He said that nasi lemak, a fragrant rice dish, is better.
The restaurant served various curries and gravies from metal trays (pictured above). Locals typically eat bread or rice with these sauces.
Some of the restaurant's most popular dishes include roti canai, a flatbread eaten with curry or a spicy gravy, and nasi goreng, a fried rice dish popular in Southeast Asia.
"Malaysians enjoy eating these dishes for supper," a local named Lau told me. "It's cheap and good."
