Makan Makan — Restaurant in Khlong Toei Subdistrict

As a Malaysian on holiday in Bangkok, I had the extraordinary pleasure of discovering a Malaysian dining gem that was nothing short of a culinary revelation. This establishment, which serves authentic Penang cuisine with a unique Eurasian twist, left me in awe with its distinctive flavors and innovative approach to Malaysian culinary traditions.

The moment I walked into the restaurant, I was greeted by the tantalizing scent of Penang spices, and the ambiance transported me to the heart of George Town. The exterior and interior decor, blending the best of Malaysian and Eurasian aesthetics, created an inviting atmosphere that felt both nostalgic and fresh.

The menu was a treasure trove of mouthwatering delights, but I couldn't resist starting with the Mamak Mee Goreng which was vegan based. The stir-fried noodles were a perfect balance of spicy and savory, coated in a flavorful sauce that danced on my taste buds. The addition of tasty sweet potato cubes and fried tofu added a delightful twist to this classic dish.

For the main course, I had to try both the Devil's Pork Curry and Pork Vindaloo. The Devil's Pork Curry was a revelation of flavors—tender chunks of pork soaked in a rich, fiery curry that was tamed only by the fragrant, perfectly steamed rice. It was an exquisite rollercoaster of spicy goodness that left my taste buds tingling.

The Pork Vindaloo, on the other hand, was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. The tangy and slightly sweet vindaloo sauce complemented the succulent pork beautifully. It was a delightful union of Eurasian and Malaysian influences, resulting in a dish that was nothing short of divine.

This Malaysian dining place in Bangkok is a true gem for anyone seeking authentic Penang cuisine with an inventive Eurasian twist. The Mamak Mee Goreng, Devil's Pork Curry, and Pork Vindaloo are a must-try trio that will take your taste buds on a tantalizing adventure. The burst of flavors in every bite is an experience you won't soon forget, making this restaurant an essential stop for Malaysians in Bangkok and food...

It was such a rare find... We were in the area hunting for some food that was not Indian or Thai. And Google came up with this as part of nearby places... We thought to give it a shot, and were very pleasantly surprised.

The ambience was good. The food was delicious. They had lot of options for vegetarians as well. We ordered chicken satay and prawn sambal quesadilla in appetizers. For main course I went with Mamak Mee Goreng and my husband chose Pork Rendang.

The appetizers were delicious and perfectly proportions. Mee Goreng is one of my most favorite dishes in Indonesia, and this one was equally delicious minus the meat. I don't eat Pork, so I am unable to give a personal review on the Pork Rendang, but my husband mentioned that it could have been tastier if the pork meat balls were not so dry.

We also took a pot of Kawa Kawa Fire Tea, and loved it as well. The owner of the place, Jaimie (hopefully I got the spelling right), is a very pleasant person to talk to, and we saw him paying personal attention to each patrons. I do believe that it adds that little extra flavor to the overall experience of dining there.

If you are in Sukhumvit and want to try something different and new, please give this restaurant a shot. I guarantee you won't be...

Great food let down by terrible service. This is not my first time here. I've visited this outlet three times in the past but were previously greeted by the lovely owners. I visited on April 4th for lunch and was served by a waitress that really let us down. I had asked apart from the special of the day, was there anything she would recommend. she stated, "everything on the menu". We wanted to order the lamb shank but was told it was preorder only and if there wasn't enough orders on the day they wouldn't make it. We had parked at Shama hotel and the store usually provides a parking coupon. However, By the end of the meal, we asked for our parking coupon but instead of apologizing and politely asking for us to pay for our parking ticket, our waitress said with an attitude and without any explanation "You have to pay for it yourself". Truly...
