"It’s hard not to gravitate toward this Malaysian eatery from beloved chef Alex Au-Yeung, a 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist who passed away in 2024 after a battle with cancer. A giant neon sign that reads “FEED ME” greets guest, along with a breakdown of the word “Phat,” an acronym for “pretty, hot, and tempting.” If stumped on what to order, rely on the knowledgeable servers, who are well-equipped to assemble a belly-busting, family-style tasting menu with the restaurant’s greatest hits, like roti canai, Hainanese chicken, beef rendang, sizzling tofu, and mee go reng. Go hungry, and plan on having leftovers." - Minh Truong, Mai Pham, Eater Staff
