Went there last week, the food was good not great, they only take cash which may sometimes be inconvenient and the noodles tasted burnt (perhaps the oil). i would not go back. During a busy lunch period they had no line which was a sign but I wanted to try it either way and glad i know. Sorry for the review but i am just being honest.

Very tasty Nanyang style black sauce fried rice. Sunny-side-up egg with crispy edges and the lava yolk was the highlight. Good prices as well!

I've only tried 2 items here, their Char Kwetiau and Nyonya Laksa. Some have been comparing them with one2snack so I thought I try them out. For char kwetiau, wok hei is there but taste wise I still like one2snack Char Kwetiau. Portion wise Gourmet Malaysia is slightly bigger but they are lot pricier. I find their Nyonya Laksa to be okay. But must say the auntie is friendly.

Hole in the wall serving authentic Malaysian food. The char kuay teow was delicious with authentic flavours and wok hei. Tastes just like the ones I had at street vendors in Malaysia.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! Curry Laksa - Another hidden gem of the bunch, the curry laksa packs a comforting punch, something so satisfying with stuffing your face with a giant bite of egg and rice noodles, that provide a pleasant variance in texture while soaking up tons of that creamy laksa broth. The toppings include fried tofu, which are perfect sponges for the broth again, along with some chunks of chicken.

Review is based only on the Nasi Lemak. It came with a potato and chicken curry, peanuts, a sambal ikan bilis, cucumber and coconut rice. The ikan bilis was stir fried with onions but the onions must have been dried out or the outer layers of the onion because they had no flavour and were really chewy and dry, even despite being in a saucy-ish stir fry. The curry was also really thick from broken down potatoes, making the curry a bit gritty and watered down in flavour.

One of our favorite Malaysian restaurants and go to stall in first Markham Place food court. The Char Koay Teow and Nyonya Laksa are two of our favorite dishes. Portion size is quite generous as well! Their food is always served piping hot and extremely flavorful. The flavour is reasonably authentic with good wok hei! 🔥

After hearing some good comments about this shop, I was happy to give it a try. It was nice to finally find a place for Singaporean & Malay food. The lady owner was very friendly and made me felt welcomed. I ordered a Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli Noodle and a Penang Fried Kueh Teow. Both of them tasted yummy because it was fresh and made by order. It was pretty good for the price. I will definitely go back to try other items on their menu. This shop is a good choice if you want to grab something quick and go. Their service was efficient.

We were at the First Markham place and decided to have lunch on their food court. There are very few places that offer a good Laksa. They had a Curry Chicken Laksa so I had to order it. I was pleased with the dish for the most part but I wish the flavour was stronger. The curry was really mild which was unfortunate. My search for a good Laksa continues in the GTA.

I had a craving for some dishes from my favourite Thai Malay restaurant on the planet. Tucked into the corner of the food court, this place never disappoints. I was in Markham ( which used to be daily occurence for work), and made a point of dropping in and getting 3 of my favourites (Curry Laksa, Singapore Noodles and Pad Thai). As always, the food was awesome, the portions filling and the prices very reasonable. I cant do them justice in a review. Some things need to be experienced. Some other of my favorite dishes from them Basil Fried Rice, Penang Fried Kway Teow, and Malaysian noodles. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

Ordered Hai Nam Chicken rice, one of the most popular dish there. It comes with soup, and 2 sauces. Chicken is well made but you need to eat it with those sauces, one spicy and one taste like oyster sauce. Another dish i recommended is Laksa noodle (be mindful don t order if you are allergic to peanut).

Look no further for amazing Singaporean and Malay cuisine in a small, nondescript shopping mall food court. A small menu that often has several dishes sold out, but you really can t go wrong. Curry laksa and kueh teow are heavenly. Always look forward to a meal here!

I love the Hainan chicken rice here. The price is low yet it is still easily one of the best Hainan chicken rice in the Markham. Ive tried several other dishes here and they are only ok. If they happen to run out of the Hainan chicken rice, Id take my business to one of the many other restaurants in the food court or the mall. Despite this, the Hainan chicken rice carries them to a 5 star rating.

Food was reasonably authentic of Malaysian favourites, but could be spicier. However, the wait for your food is quite long, and they only accept cash which isn t the most convenient.

Tried Nasi Lamak here. Food was okay but the young lady at front was horribly rude. She asked if we want take out or having at the food court. We opted having here. Still she packed our food. I corrected her saying we want to have here. Her reply was shocking. Take the tray, and open the plastic and have. Everything s inside. I mean she definitely hated her job at front, but that shouldn t reciprocate to our suffering, we are paying for the food. Will try other places around, people are much humble.

Ordered 31. Kuala Lampur Mee Goreng, under the recommendation that it was an authentic and delicious dish. Definitely not disappointed at all. If your only experience with mee goreng is the instant noodle, the taste might be unexpected, but it is incredible either way. Generous portions and friendly, fast service makes this a must-stop in the FMP food court.

My go to Laksa place in York Region. It s spicy, creamy and flavourful. They re generous with toppings and the price is still good at $10.50. My second favourite is the Penang Shrimp Noodles. I love the Sambal that comes with it. It s flavourful but not as heavy than the Laksa. Both come with a combination of thick egg and thin rice noodles. Good contrast in textures. These soup noodles are very satisfying on a cold autumn/ winter day.

★★★

I could only give 2-3 stars if focus on the food quality. It s not really bad but the fry noodle is way too salty and a bit over cooked. Laksa noodle is quite spicy, taste is fine but not excellent. Price is ok, around $10 each dish. Owner couple is friendly. I hope can change the spoon- The tiny spoon is not even able to carry 1pc of noodle

My family has been coming here for years and they easily have the best Malaysian food in Markham, if not Toronto. We have driven across Toronto to try many different places but none can compare to the taste and value of Malay Thai. We always get the curry laksa, wat tan hor and mee goreng. All are excellent, make sure you specify your spice levels! The nasi goreng and char kway teow are also very good and have great flavour. The portions can t be beat for the price, and the food is just so satisfying and comforting. A tip is to call ahead for pickup to avoid the wait.

Malay Thai has a good selection of Malaysian/Thailand and Indonesian dishes, generous portions with reasonable price. My family and I have been their regular since 2003. The owner, Christine and her husband are always friendly.

They won t disappoint you and you will want to come back

I had the shrimp Pad Thai from this place, and Ill say its exceedingly average. Its really lacking some authentic fish sauce and tamarind flavour, and there were only 6-7 baby shrimps too, so it was a little disappointing. However, it was pretty cheap, and the portion size was huge, and since Im feeling nice, Id give it a 4/5; go try it if you want an affordable, filling meal.

Ordered the Penang char kway teow and boy was it good. It had strong smokey wok flavor I associate with ckw, it could just use a pinch more salt but still very good. The ingredients in it was pretty standard shrimp, fish cake, etc, but it really was the wok hey that put that up one of the better Malaysia spot around. Will definitely try their other dishes next time

Unimpressed. Struggling to leave a 3-star review even. Sizable portions but taste is not authentic Malaysian / Thai. We ordered the Laksa Noodles and Thai Basil Chicken with Rice. Were disappointed with both. Laksa curry gravy was quite watery. Basil Chicken was too salty and not spicy at all. We left over 60-70% of the food untouched.
