MALACCA - authentic malaysian cuisine in MANILA

I tried out a new restaurant that specializes in Malaysian cuisine. Malacca is located at the ground floor of Jupiter Place, Jupiter Street in Bel Air Village, Makati. Owned and operated by a chinese malaysian, Philip Ng, he also owns another hot spot, a high end bar/resto called WASABI BAR on makati avenue. It opened its doors last December and it boasts of being " the Philippine's first and ONLY premier authentic Malaysian Restaurant ". The prices were very reasonable.

Sambal Prawns - whole prawns or shrimps cooked in a classic Malay sauce made with chilies, shallots, garlic, stewed tomatoes, tamarind paste and a dried shrimp paste called Belachan. You might want also to specify if you want your dish " mild " or " spicy ".

price: 380php ( $ 7.60 )

Kailan with Oyster sauce - They actually have 3 ways in doing this dish... you can either have kailan with shrimps or crispy anchovies. I opted on the oyster sauce. It was very good! Although the one who took our order was recommending the one with the crispy anchovies.
Price: 180php ( $3.60 )

Our main dish was the hainanese chicken. I still have too find a good restaurant here in Manila that serves this dish really well. Compared to the hainanese chicken dish I had in Singapore this is not as tasty but according to my son, Iggy, this is how they serve it in Sabah, Malaysia
Price : 480 php for a whole chicken ( $ 9.60 )
