"Chef Tracy Goh, who began by hosting pop-up dinners from her one-bedroom apartment after moving to San Francisco in 2012, has opened a brick-and-mortar in Noe Valley to broaden appreciation of Malaysian cuisine beyond the familiar noodle soup. The menu highlights her beloved laksa (available in meat and vegetarian versions) alongside street-style dishes such as otak-otak, a spiced coconut fish cake grilled in banana leaves, a rich beef rendang, and a chef-recommended selection of small plates." - ByKate Kassin
