Loading ...As I’ve mentioned in a couple of earlier blog posts, I absolutely love spicy food. That’s why I was very happy when a friend told me about Taste of Malaysia. They serve hot, spicy dishes that taste really yummy! When I first went there, it was just for drinks, although I did sample their Beef Satay (₱175). That made me decide to come back for more. Which I did yesterday with two friends in tow.
The best and tastiest dish we ordered was their Beef Curry (₱199), which is good for two people. I loved that distinctly Malaysian flavor of curry, which is quite different from the Japanese or Thai varieties. And the rich sauce went very well with the Papadam (₱50), a type of flatbread or cracker that you’ll also find in Indian cuisine. (An order comes in 6 pieces.) For me, though, the curry wasn’t spicy enough — because my friends don’t like tongue-biting spicy food — but they gave me a hot sauce that they call Blatian. Now that’s what I call spicy! 
Of course I had to have the beef satay again, but we also got the Chicken Satay (₱110), which was not bad, but I liked the beef better. Each order comes with this lovely peanut dip that made me crave for more rice… (Shucks!)

We also had an order of Taste of Malaysia’s Kangkong with Shrimp Paste (₱85), which was also a bit spicy. I assume the vegetables are steamed, then marinated in soy sauce and bagoong, with a few pieces of steamed shrimp. One serving is good for three and is a perfect match for their meat dishes.
The place looks nice, too. It has two airconditioned sections, one being used as a coffee shop, and there’s an al fresco area as well. For small meetings, they also have a function room equipped with an LCD projector. I will definitely go back to Taste of Malaysia soon! (I need to see what kinds of food to order for when I go to Kuala Lumpur this month…)
Taste of Malaysia is located at the back of the Jetti gas station on J.P. Laurel Ave., Lanang, Davao City. It’s right by the entrance of the Bloomfields village. Telephone: 234-0004.
