7 Exciting New Restaurants to Know, October 2022 | Bon Appétit
"Upon moving to San Francisco in 2012, chef Tracy Goh hosted pop-up dinners in her one-bedroom apartment. As her popularity grew, she began serving her laksa at other locations throughout the Bay Area. At Damansara, her brick and mortar restaurant in the Noe Valley neighborhood, there are two options for Goh’s beloved laksa—to please both meat-eaters and vegetarians. But with this restaurant, named after her hometown in Malaysia, Goh wants to broaden the reach of Malaysian cuisine in America, showcasing street-style dishes beyond the popular noodle soup. There’s otak-otak, a spiced coconut fish cake grilled in banana leaves, and a rich beef rendang. There is also a chef-recommended selection of small plates." - ByKate Kassin
