A Pre-Valentine Food Trip part 2

6:30 pm – Dinner 1 at Malacca with college friends

Whenever I visit my cousins in Virginia, top in my list of places to eat is Penang. This Malaysian restaurant is located in 4933 Bethesda Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 (301) 657-2875. So when I read heart-2-heart‘s blog that there is a new Malaysian restaurant in town called Malacca I knew I had to try it. The opportunity came when I received a message in facebook that my college friends wanted to meet up for dinner.

Overall the food was good but not spectacular. The dishes were spiced just right. Nothing was too spicy. The noodles and the rice were not oily unlike in other restaurants. The standout was the fruits rojak which I’ve never tried before.
