"Unlike the artwork you just spent an hour and a half pretending to like, the beef rendang at Rasa Sayang doesn’t have a sign on the wall explaining the various interpretations. But if it did, we think it would go something like this: "A 3D model, Rasa Sayang’s rendang represents the Malaysian mountains recreated with mounds of brown beef so tender that they tremble at the mention of a fork." And our interpretation? The tender beef—that’s been slow-cooked for six hours in a hearty, thick, coconut-heavy sauce—is satisfying, sweet, and will stay in your mind longer than any impressionist artwork will." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak
