What: Malaysian for Dinner
Where: China Town, Birmingham, UK
The Dish: Tea Tarik!! Okay so not a dish but definitely the best drink I have ever had!
Value: £20pp
Food Review: To eat: Prawn Toast, Prawn Balls, Sweet and Sour King Prawn with Egg fried Rice, Fish with Ginger and Spring Onion.
To drink: Tea Tarik
So first to come was the drinks, a couple of Hot Tea Tariks to warm up on a rather cold Friday evening. For those not in the know, Tea Tarik is tea made with sweetened condensed milk. Fresh milk was not used in Malaysia as it was not available so sweetened condensed milk was the healthiest option available.
Whatever the reason, once you've had a taste of this, you will be wondering why it took you so long to try it.
Next the starters, standard East Asia, prawn toast and prawn balls. The prawn toast were better than the prawn balls were both of mediocre standard and seem to have a frozen product standard rather than restaurant standard.
Sober Status: Alcohol is served on site
When I next visit I would have: Lobster
Halal: No
Internal and External Review:
The interior has been revamped in order to serve more people, but it provides a basic asian style, random furniture layout! Bit confusing, (3 people seated on a large 8 people dining table?! ), and random sections to its layout with no flow.
The exterior is basic and could do with showcasing what is inside a bit more.
Sum up: Food is served quickly, but nothing to write home about
Malaysian Delight has always been my favourite Malaysian restaurant in Birmingham before Malaya Classic opened. In addition to their excellent Malaysian cuisine, their Cantonese dishes are also outstanding, such as the roast meats. Their laksa is delicious too.
We had a larger group today, so we ordered several small dishes to share, some of which I hadn't tried before, like the braised platter. It would have been even better if it came with vinegar. Everything else was consistently good, and the service at this restaurant is exceptional - polite and attentive waitstaff. Highly recommended.
Amazing food. Full of flavours and spices. I loved it. Had some take away from there but when I came to pick it up, place was packed and Im not surprised, freshly cooked, fast service very talented chef and lovely owner. They put their whole heart to deliver great foodie experience.
