Rasa Malaysia — Restaurant in Barcelona

I visited Rasa Malaysia on 7 May with a friend. We went without reservation, and were given a table near the entrance.

The food itself was quite delicious. I cannot comment on the authenticity of it and closeness to real Malaysian food, but if you want filling, delicious food at an agreeable budget that is also Halal, I recommend Rasa Malaysia.

It’s close to the Sagrada Familia, and honestly the staff are quite nice. It’s just that when we visited, the restaurant was so busy, we needed to work very hard to catch the attention of the serve staff.

We ordered: Lumpia Sayur (Spring Rolls. These are quite polarising, you either like them or you don’t thanks to the introduction of cinnamon powder that’s quite noticeable. Being from the Middle East, and being Indian, I didn’t mind. I found it unique and delicious, but my friend did not like these at all).

Sate Ayam Goreng (Fried chicken wings with peanut sauce. Not bad, lives up to the expectations I have of Satey Ayam. I’m not a fan of peanut sauce, but this one is quite balanced and very delicious.

Bebek Koh lo Mee (Noodles with Boneless Duck. My friend ordered this and he quite enjoyed it. The duck was cooked very well, and was very flavourful. The sauce brought the noodles together with the veggies and the duck very well.)

Nasi Goreng Canton (Indonesian Fried Rice with Charshiu chicken. I LOVE Nasi Goreng, so my expectations were very high before eating, and I am so glad the restaurant lived up to the expectations. I absolutely loved the addition of the Chashiu chicken. The portion was perhaps too big for 1 person, but definitely it was worth the money, and the visit).

All in all, Rasa Malaysia is a good Malaysian restaurant that is Halal, in a pleasant neighbourhood and is good value for money. You won’t be disappointed after...

First off, I'm Malaysian, so I'm using my natural right to define what's good Malaysian food and what's not.

THERE ARE SOME REAL, EXCELLENT MALAYSIAN FOOD HERE. (They offer Indonesian food too but I won't comment on those, didn't try them.)

Secondly, I miss Malaysia, and seeing those Milo tins, 100Plus can, terabai, depictions of old market sellers, even the poorly drawn KLCC and cempedak made me long for home, no matter how facepalm-inducing the current state of politics, or how 'too rainy' or 'too hot' the weather, or how stable the price of RON95, can be.

Anyway - we had: nyonya kari laksa (rich in coconut milk, with succulent prawns and perfectly fried tofu), Thai fried rice (big portion! We shared and there's still leftover), duck curry (meat perfectly, crisp-ily fried, LOVED IT), beef rendang (my rendang standards are Kinabalu-high, so while these aren't exactly at the tip of the mountain, I give A+ for tender meat!), dan dan kueteow (exchanged the mee; sauce was excellent, generous portions of minced chicken and taugeh! Though the kueteow was juuust a little undercooked for my taste).

Our teh tariks were not too sweet and tasted like Cameron Highlands-originated tea. My only despair: not enough froth. (Feel free to laugh.)

Friendly, cheerful and helpful staff!

I wish with all my heart that they would also offer roti banjir, but I'm a patient woman.

(I also wish that us Malaysians/Indonesians who land in this restaurant wouldn't be too shy to talk to each other, but that's another story ;)

So no, don't wait, don't need to think too much, just go to this restaurant AS...

I recently visited this place and was truly impressed by the amazing food. The staff, who appeared to be of Indian/Pakistani origin, added to the authenticity of the dining experience. While I am not entirely sure if this is how Malaysian food traditionally tastes, the dishes served were wonderful and full of incredible flavors.

Food Quality and Serving Time We were pleasantly surprised by the quick serving time, as our meals arrived within 15-20 minutes.The food quality was exceptional, with every bite bursting with deliciousness.

Interior The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, the walls had Malaysian art , national and cultural drawings as well.

Staff The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Their ability to speak multiple languages fluently, including Spanish, English, Hindi/Urdu, made communication easy and added to the overall positive experience.

What We Ordered We ordered Rangdang Dating (paratha with beef stew), noodles with chicken, noodles with meat, and chai. Each dish was prepared to perfection, leaving us thoroughly satisfied.

Overall, this place offers a fantastic dining experience with authentic and flavorful food. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a...
