NYC Chinatown | Affordable Michelin Malaysian Eats 🇲🇾

📍Nyonya A Malaysian-Chinese spot in Chinatown means budget-friendly vibes (cash only!). When my boss texted “I only have $2 cash,” I couldn’t help but laugh😂 Spacious, not too noisy, and even offers vegan options—great for bringing friends or coworkers! We ordered 6 dishes (only $120 for 5 people after tip!): 🧙 Crispy Hat-Shaped Bread Looks like a wizard hat—super crispy, no filling. Served with curry dipping sauce loaded with potatoes & chicken. 🫓 Fresh Flatbread Made-to-order, soft and slightly milky—carb heaven! 🦑 Curry Squid Our favorite! Tender squid in rich, savory curry—perfect over rice. 🐔 Hainanese Chicken A bit ordinary—chicken wasn’t very tender and slightly fatty. A solid spot for tasty, wallet-friendly Malaysian flavors in Chinatown! #NYCMalaysianFood #ChinatownEats #BudgetEats #NYCFood #MichelinInexpensive #SoutheastAsianFood #NYCEats #FoodieOnABudget
