  I can't believe how long it took me to try PappaRich!
  
  This place is good, but not great. If you're looking for a Malaysian place that is clean for large groups this is the place for you.
  
  We were a party of 5 on a Sunday night and we chose to sit outside. The ambiance was nice for the Flushing area. It did take a while to get a waiters attention which I guess could be expected as it was a busy night.
  
  We were seated outside and had just enough attention from the waiter.
  
  I ordered the hainanese chicken. A typical dish, it was delicious, just the right amount of flavor and not dry.
  
  A great place to visit with friends and family to catch-up and have decent Malaysian food.

  We came here on a reservation as a loud, hyped up, food-crazy Filipino party of 10. I think I've had slightly better Malaysian food in the past, but this place almost has it all, and I thought they did a wonderful job handling us.
  
  Given the large selection of food on the menu, the ordering process is very easy- you're given a little slip of paper to write down numbers corresponding to the menu items and desired quantities = less social interaction for me yayyy lol jk. The menu is very visual, like a huge colorful children's picture book of food, so it's very easy to see and expect what you're ordering. Upon handing our waiter the slip, it seemed like she had memorized and was able to recognize some of the numbers/items. She ensured that all of our food came out in the desired order, like if we wanted the dessert to come out along with all the food or after the meal.
  
  I ordered two drinks because I couldn't help myself- the 3-layer rose syrup milk tea and the lychee cincau. Both were excellent and came with grass jelly, my favorite! The rose milk tea was perfectly sweet and the lychee cincau was like a melted lychee slushy with actual lychee in it, which was super refreshing while I had some of the spicier foods. For apps we started with the mixed chicken/beef satay skewers and the roti canai. The satay was just okay, a bit too dry for me, but the peanut sauce compensated for the texture. The roti was delicious, soft yet crisp, and came with 3 different sauces. Those two went very quickly.
  
  While the rest of our table shared dishes family-style, I ordered my own entree, which was the nasi lemak, a staple Malaysian dish with coconut rice, sambal (chili) shrimp, curry chicken, peanuts, anchovies, and a hard boiled egg. I thought it was pretty decent; all the components blended together nicely. Funny story...my mom accidentally spilled a glass of water on my nasi lemak, but the waitress was kind enough to transfer the untouched parts of the dish onto a new plate and give a replacement cup of coconut rice. I was also able to have a taste of the steamed hainan chicken - very flavorful - and the lamb, which was thoroughly cooked and had a pretty strong kick to it. All of us really enjoyed the food!
  
  As promised, my pre-ordered dessert was ready right as I finished my entree. I ordered cendol, caramelized coconut milk-flavored shaved ice with wormlike green jellies and sweet beans at the bottom. It is certainly a shareable dish after stuffing oneself with all of that food. The proportion of flavoring to shaved ice was perfect- sometimes I get shaved ice with too much or too little flavoring so the dessert is too concentrated or diluted, but fortunately that wasn't the case here. The place gets very busy around dinner time as most Flushing restaurants, but the service manages to keep on top of it all despite the bustle. The restaurant is well-maintained and clean. Definitely come here if you're looking to try Malaysian food for the first time or just want to satisfy a craving!

  We were in the area after visiting the Daiso and then standing in line to get Tiger Sugar boba. We were super hungry and just needed somewhere to have a quick meal. It was about 8:45pm and they sat us no problem. We did come pretty close to last order, so I would recommend coming earlier if you want to make sure you get food.
  
  The best part of the meal was the roti with the 3 dipping sauces. The daal was so good!! The curry chicken was also very good. Honestly, get this dish!
  
  I had their Hainanese chicken rice and I thought the chicken rice was really good - better than some places in Chinatown. The chicken itself was just OK.
  
  Service was friendly and helpful.

  The deco is nice, food is good and reasonably price
  We are from Singapore so we were happy to try here.
  The chicken rice is really good, nasi lemak too. The flat noodles is just OK.
  The Bandung is real good.
  The cendol has too strong palm sugar  but it's still good.
  The only reason one star is docked is due to service.
  The Bandung wasn't brought to our table with the others. Even we wrote ' later ' for the deserts, the staff asked if we want them now . The ABC were without ice cream. When we brought up to her, she took it way and brought us new one without word.
  When we asked the check, she just kinda threw it on the table...

  A pretty decent Malaysian restaurant. I think the reasoning that it has a lower rating is due to the price. The taste for me was pretty good. The only dish I ordered I didn't really like was the flat noodles like the canto dish Gan Chow Niu He. The only difference is that this one is soupy. For me, this dish was too bland and sticky. The roti Cana I was delicious though. The drinks were okay, nothing to special for the prices though. I had a mango smoothie one and a hot milk tea. The vegetable dish I ordered is a also a staple of Malaysian cuisine and was cooked well.
  
  All in all not terrible. If you wanna get Malaysian food in a cleaner and newer environment, then definitely go here. If you don't mind slightly dirtier and cramped spaces , there are other options that serve just as good food.
  
  I really wanna give. 3.5
