Food & Drink Another look at the Malaysian restaurant which has been a big hit in New York City By

Kopitiam, the little Malaysian place with lots of character that is making a name for itself in New York City’s Chinatown, was featured on Eater.com’s Cooking in America channel last month. We also published a short article about it a few months ago in March.

Host Pelin Keskin visits the venue to speak to the chef, third-generation Nyonya woman Kyo Pang, and to try the Malaysian dishes and drink. This included nasi lemak, kaya butter toast and pulut inti.

These dishes were inspired by Kyo Pang’s father, who is also a chef – here in Malaysia – and we’re sure he’s very proud of his daughter.

Although the article does mistakenly say that Penang is “the region of Malaysia that houses the nation’s capital city”, we’ll let them off because we love that Malaysian food is being promoted in the Big Apple.

Here’s the address for those who plan to visit NYC: 51 Canal St, New York, New York 10002.
