Makan Place for Authentic Malaysian Cuisines

Briyani Chicken Rice

I hosted a program in my work place and catered food from the Malaysian restaurant on Sixth Street in Burnaby that serves authentic traditional Malay cuisines. Makan Place as they are named is one of the two traditional Malay cuisines restaurant in Vancouver. I frequently dined in Makan Place but each time before we actually go there, we need to call to make sure that they are open for business. They are very infrequent with their opening days and times.

Chicken Satay

As far as the authenticity of their cuisines, they are pretty much the best in Vancouver. Having mentioned that, sometimes their cooking standard is not consistent. There are times that we find the Malay cuisines to be really good and there are times we also find them to be inconsistent with their cooking. So, it is dependent on the mood of the cooks. Some of their best cuisines would be the briyani chicken rice, and the satay.

Fried Vermicelli

I like their Mamak Mee Goreng, which may not be the most authentic of Mamak Mee Goreng but it is really flavourful and tasty. Usually Mamak Mee Goreng is fried with a thick prawn gravy but Makan Place do not have that in their Mamak Mee Goreng. The Mamak Mee Goreng served at Makan Place are more appropriate as Mee Goreng (Fried Noodle) instead. My kids like their Nasi Lemak. Not the best Nasi Lemak but still authentic Malay Nasi Lemak.
