seri malaysia - food porn

I had heard of seri malaysia many a time, but haven't had a proper excuse to eat all the way at hastings and nanaimo until krusty came to town. she has never had malaysian food - and if I remember correctly, this was her favourite meal out of all our meals in vancouver.

by the way, the restaurant has no ambience whatsoever. there was no music (which scared us a little bit), but once we tasted the food - it all became worthwhile. to demonstrate this: there were a couple of guys who entered the restaurant, and then clearly had second thoughts after not seeing any wait staff (there was one waitress total). they then proceeded to leave - but krusty and I "yelled" at them from our table: "don't go! the food is AWESOME!". and they stayed. :)

the owner (who is the chef) came to chat us up later too - I'll definitely be back to eat more.

onto the food porn:


mee goreng (with seafood)


beef rendang


kacang boncis (french beans cooked with prawn paste) - or better known as crack beans


chicken satay


roti canai (the best one I've had...EVER. flaky and light. oh my - i'm drooling.)
