Chinatown

Today I would like to share with you some of my favorite hotspots to eat in Chinatown. This specialty is not Chinese, it is not Korean or Indian; it is actually a combination of these and it is called Malaysian Fusion. This cuisine is for the risky, adventurous type who are not afraid to step outside of the typical American burger and fries diet. Some of the main ingredients to Malaysian cooking include coconut milk, lemon grass, and rice in combination with a wide variety of poultry and seafood. Soups and noodle dishes are also complimentary to this cuisine. The two Malaysian Fusion restaurants I recommend are Banana Leaf and Penang. Their menus are very similar in choice and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is very modern and I recommend sitting near the kitchen where you can watch the cooks prepare the food. The service is fast and the meals are cheap. The perfect choice for any college student. Chinatown in general is fairly simple to get to from Temple University, just get off at the Vine/Race stop on the Broad Street Line and walk east for three blocks and your there. If you get a chance to go to either of these restaurants do not forget to order the Roti Canai!!!
