Yazmin Restaurant Review:
Malaysian cooking is one of Asia's most under-appreciated cuisines, and one of the least represented in Los Angeles. Its subtle flavors and complex spices---similar to those found in neighboring Indonesia---are derived from Indian, Chinese and Dutch influences, yet are unique. The whitewashed dining room in revitalized downtown Alhambra is lined with paper masks and travel posters. Gado-gado...
One of the few Malaysian joints in LA. Great curry puffs, Hainan chicken is solid and the curry laksa is ideal comfort food. English-speaking staff available -- rare for the SGV.
You can get it steamed with bones or fried without bones. The dipping sauces are a chili with ginger and a soy sauce with vinegar. I like to pour the soy sauce one over the rice and the chili for dipping for the chicken.
