We were huge fans of Satay, a Malaysian restaurant that had served amazing food in Hoboken for years. Sadly, it closed a year or so ago, and we needed a similar spot to satisfy our cravings. I came across Mamak House a while back and had planned to visit it in-person. However, the other night I learned that they would deliver to our area, and we decided to do that instead.
We wound up sharing an order of the Roti Canai. The flaky, oily pancake was served with a sweet curry dipping sauce that was filled with a few large pieces of chicken. Both items were delicious, particularly the curry, which was so flavorful that I decided to pour it over my Char Kway Teow, which was otherwise bland without it. The dish consisted of stir-fried, flat rice noodles with shrimp, squid, bean sprouts, eggs, soy sauce, and chili paste. The seafood seemed very fresh; however, I could not detect any spice at all, so the added curry was critical. My companion found his Thai Basil Noodle with Chicken similar unmemorable and boring.
We had been so excited to find another Malaysian restaurant, but it, sadly, did not live up to Satay's legacy. Due to its mediocre food and delivery wait time because of the distance, we would instead probably opt to get dinner from another Asian cuisine destination closer to us.
