One of our new year's resolutions is to explore ethnic foods in Queens. Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Greek... True food lovers pay little attention to NY dining scene and reach out to Queens. Today's lunch was at Taste Good, a Malaysian restaurant right off the Elmhurst station on R train. It's a very small restaurant next to huge Chinese supermarkets. All the surrounding tables were having Hainanese Chicken, so we tried 1/4, which is big enough for two. Although some may not like the skin and fat, it's fairly easy to remove, which I did. We took the left over for next day.
Malaysian classic Roti Canai. We almost always order this appetizer at Malaysian restaurants. Well, it wasn't the best Roti I had, but it wasn't a disappointment at all.
MCH tried the curry noodle. Lots of fish cakes that he dislikes and super rich, sweet curry soup. It has a very unique flavor and the noodle is clear, slimy one instead of typical wheat noodle. I wasn't too crazy about this type of noodle.
My pick was a dish plate with coconut rice, curried chicken (very good), fish chili. It was okay but not amazing. I might try something else next time.
