Manis Provided the Malaysian Cuisines in an event in SFU

In My Plate

The Malaysian restaurant in Surrey on Whalley and one hundred eighth provided the cuisines to an event recently in Simon Fraser University. I was in attendance in that event and was an opportunity for me to sample some of their Malaysian cuisines. There were four familiar Malaysian cuisines, among which were the Malay style Fried Rice, Mamak Mee Goreng, Tropical Salad with Rojak and Peanut Sauce and the Satay Chicken. Although, the cuisines looked and taste authentic but I found them to me slightly lacking in flavour. The difference may not be noticeable to the people that were eating Malaysian food for the first time or those that were not familiar with the flavours of Malaysia.

But personally, I felt the flavours could have been improved with some added ingredients when Manis were preparing the Malaysian cuisines. Oddly, Manis has a favorable reviews by their critiques which by the way, I agree as much, when the food is served in a smaller portion and in their Surrey location. But when prepared in much bigger portions, there were something missing in the flavours especially in the Fried Rice and the Mamak Mee Goreng. Whereas, their tropical salad was a real good cuisine. The chicken satay was also good and tasty. But still not in comparison to some really good satays in Malaysia.

Although, still lacking in certain things and not to everyone's satisfaction, the four cuisines were authentic and do have the right taste and some flavours of Malaysian cuisines.  I would consider Manis to be nice enough to provide delivery. As for the lack in flavour, we can easily solve that by advising them on the critique made by the patrons.  I am wonderfully happy to be able to introduce and share the taste and flavours of Malaysian cuisines. And Manis Malaysian Restaurant still serves wonderful and authentic Malaysian cuisines.
