Malaysian cuisine is a dynamic fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Thai flavors—bold, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. At Zhang’s BBQ Chicken, we’re proud to bring the soul of Penang street food to Duluth, Georgia, serving up the best in authentic Malaysian comfort cuisine.
Whether you're searching for "Malaysian food near me" or just looking to try something new, this guide highlights seven must-try dishes that will transport your taste buds straight to Southeast Asia.
1. Nasi Lemak
Malaysia’s national dish. Fragrant coconut rice served with spicy sambal, crispy anchovies, peanuts, cucumber, and a hard-boiled egg. Add fried chicken or curry for a full meal.
2. Penang Chicken Curry Mee
A bold, spicy coconut milk-based curry noodle soup, packed with chicken, tofu, bean sprouts, and herbs. Thick with flavor, this dish is a rainy-day favorite and full of umami.
3. Mee Goreng (Malaysian Fried Noodles)
Savory, slightly spicy stir-fried noodles with shrimp, egg, tofu, and vegetables in a sweet soy sauce. A perfect introduction to Malaysian street-style wok cooking.
4. Char Kway Teow
Flat rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and chives in a smoky dark soy sauce. A Penang classic that perfectly captures the essence of street food.
5. Penang Assam Laksa
Tangy and spicy tamarind fish broth with thick rice noodles, cucumber, mint, onions, and pineapple. Uniquely sour, this is a favorite among adventurous eaters.
6. Seafood Claypot Noodle Soup
A comforting, bubbling claypot soup filled with prawns, fish cakes, squid, and egg noodles. Rich and warming, this dish is cooked and served in a traditional clay pot.
7. Penang Seafood Tofu
A savory combination of soft tofu and assorted seafood, stir-fried in a special house-made Malaysian-style sauce. Balanced, hearty, and deeply flavorful.
