that does not Westernize their menu. I stumbled upon this restaurant about a week ago and had been looking for a chance to try it out. So, after trying on bridal gowns on Friday with Cindy ( and yes, i think i have found THE ONE ), we stopped by "A Taste of Asia" for lunch.
AND it truly was a taste of Asia. THIS is sooo like the food back in Malaysia it almost brought tears to my eyes. And yes, they have FISH WITH THE HEAD STILL ON, on the menu.
I didn't want to freak Cindy out by ordering anything that stared back at her, so I had duck noodles (right) and she had beef noodles (below).
Now I'm thinking of holding a Chinese Style Wedding Banquet there for family and close friends..

That sounds really good. I love trying food that isn't "Americanized." The fish head may freak me out, though ("it's smiling at me").
Thanks for visiting my blog. I've seen that photo of Chet Baker before and like it a lot. He looked so much different when he got older. All that heroin must've really done him in.
Letti,
If you ever come to San Francisco, you must try Strait's Cafe, La'zeez, Banana Leaf or one of the other fine restaurants here speciallizing in Malay, Singaporean, Thai and similar cuisines. I haven't seen one that advertises Malaysian-style food only. My partner worked in Singapore for a year, and says these restaurants come very close to that cuisine.
Best Regards,

Hi Letti, Fedex just loss some business. Glad that you can have some authentic Malaysian food. That looks like ngup tooi meen and ngau yoke hor.
My boyfriend and I went to a friend's wedding in Atlanta a few years ago. It was a traditional Vietnamese wedding followed that night by a Chinese-style wedding banquet. It was really neat experience, and we had a great time learning about all the traditions.
