Kedai Makan Belltown

The Best Southeast Asian Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"What started as a food stall in markets around town expanded into two brick-and-mortar restaurants — one in Capitol Hill and one in Belltown. Kedai Mekan brings the spicy, tangy, and herbaceous flavors of Malaysia to life with dishes like kerabu timun nanas (a cucumber pineapple salad with Thai basil and the chili-centric sambal belacan) and the laksa lemak (noodles in coconut curry broth with scallions, spices, and sprouts). The menu reflects the fusion of cultures in Malaysian cuisine down to the cocktail list, which features libations infused with regional ingredients like the lychee martini and the passionfruit Old Fashioned." - Alicia Erickson
