I do agree with Merlion in Vancouver that we cannot compare the price of the same food in Malaysia. Through my experience eating dinner and lunch in Kedah House though not very regular, I found out that the price is considered reasonable. The food comparatively good. Perhaps my advise is that whenever we place our order we should enquire how it is prepared and state our preference.

I do not have much qualm on the food but I think Kedah House need to have a certain standard on preparation of the food so that for example; the food served today should at least having the same standard of yesterday. Another observation is that, Kedah House need to improve the service.

Hello people,
I am surprised at your comments about the price. People, firstly, we are NOT in Malaysia…so lets not compare and say that it is expensive here. Malaysian and Singaporean food is considered as exotic food here of course. imagine how much steaks cost back there. Also if you have never lived there or even visited there ever before, DON’T!!! do a food comparison. I personally think that the food here is fabulous. But is it exactly like home? Of course not. We are not in Malaysia. IS the price expensive compared to back home? I will be the first to admit that it is. But being from Malaysia and Singapore my whole life…the question to ask me is whether the food is good? And yes it is.

Thank you.

Response to Vincent Chow:
You’ve got to be kidding!
How can u ever compare the price to the ones back in Malaysia? FYI, I just visited KL and I don’t think I could find a plate of noodle for RM2!
Besides food cost, have you thought about overhead expenses and labour costs??

Hi guys, I’m a Malaysian. The food you posted are quite common here especially the fried noodle. And I can tell you that it is extremely expensive. In Malaysia, a plate of fried noodle, a simple one I mean, only cost RM2-4, in a Mamak stall. Which means not more than $1. I was shock to see that it cost you $7.75. I can have many plates of noodle with $7.75, around 5-10 plates, lol. Anyway, thanks for posting something about Malaysia, and have a nice day.

Hi Ultimate Groupie: Hope you start a review site too. I like checking out “$$” (not “$$$”) restaurants around the GVRD. Any recommendations?

Hi TXSoapMom: I just googled for “Malaysian Restaurants in Texas” and got quite a list. Check that out. I think you will like Malaysian food … they are spicy and hot!

Yum Yum! I’ve never had Malaysian food but I love Chinese so I think that I would like that too. We have a ton of Chinese restaurants around in TX but I’ve never seen any Malaysian.

This is great, I live in Vancouver, and LOVE ethnic foods. I thought about starting a review site a long time ago, and am happy to see one out there about local cuisines.
