This Malaysian Chinese restaurant reminded me of Chinese restaurants in Sydney 15 years ago… more specifically its décor, predominantly red and gold.
This type of china bowl is rarely seen in Sydney restaurants now, but every Chinese family had some in their kitchen at some point in time.
Malaysian fried chicken – the skin was very crispy and the meat was very tender, though the dish was let down with the Aussie-Chinese sweet chilli sauce.
The curry and roti were not great on their own, but together worked so much better.

When you say it looks like restaurants in Sydney 15 years ago… that’s probably because (judging by the photographs, at least) the decor at Rasa Sayang doesn’t seem to have changed much since the mid-to-late ’90s.
Back then it was run by a very pleasant older gentleman and his wife. They weren’t the cheapest in Dickson, but their food was good and I went there with friends or family quite a number of times. I particularly remember their sambal eggplant as a standout.
Unfortunately, the last I heard about five years ago from some friends who’d gone back while visiting Canberra was that the place had changed hands and the standard of the food wasn’t the same anymore.
