Pulau Pinang

It’s hard to go wrong with the big menu at this cute Malaysian restaurant that also serves a few Taiwanese dishes. The quality is great, the beer is priced well, and it’s easy to order a fun meal—like the Hainanese chicken, which was originally a Chinese dish, but this one’s with a Malaysian spin. At night. Starting at 9 pm you can order off the night menu, which has smaller portions so you can order more of them. It's like tapas with coconut curry. They’re open until 1 am, which is late for this neighborhood.
