The Scoop: Forget trendy "fusion" restaurants. Malaysian food is the original fusion, with culinary influences from India, Thailand, and China. And tucked inside a Buford Highway shopping center (as all the most delicious treasures are) in a space that rather resembles a bamboo hut, Penang is one of this city's best ways to discover, enjoy, and devour the fruits of this delicious culinary union. Think lots of spice (not heat), lots of coconut milk, and lots of you mumbling your adoration as you plow through another round of satay beef. Scout Notes: Upon learning that I'd never before had the pleasure of chowing down on Malaysian food, manager Ken laughingly chided me, right before launching into a full-bore history of the country, the culture, and the cuisine. Indeed, my tour guide was intent on walking me through the history of his restaurant's food, and while I typically just blindly dive face-first into a dish without asking questions, it felt nice to actually know a little bit about the food I was eating and why it tasted so good (while diving face-first into those dishes). Penang, an island in Malaysia, is considered one of the world's culinary capitals--and a street food heaven. Ken tells me that if you ate five meals a day, it would take roughly four years to eat your way around the island. That's the inspiration behind Penang the restaurant, and while the menu here isn't quite as overwhelming as an entire island's offerings, I could certainly see myself spending a year or two trying everything out. You can start with that addictive roti canai, and by the time you make your way to the minced pork penang lobak, you may be well on your way to completing Ken's Malaysian 101 tutelage. The dishes represent the variety of influences in Malaysian cuisine--some are more South Indian, like the roti canai, a crispy crowd favorite that resembles a cross between a pancake, a crepe, a dosa, and naan. Then there's the special dish that Ken proudly presented to me, bringing out a plate that rather resembled a wrapped package. He cut through the banana leaves to unveil none other than stingray, covered in a blend of over 25 spices and herbs. Ken explained that Malaysia is one of just a few culinary cultures that can handle the acidity of stingray. After he ran through the intoxicating list of spices and herbs they used on the little guy (cumin, anise, cinnamon, lemongrass, and more), I could see why. With more emphasis on spice and seasoning than pure heat, Malaysian food has been scientifically proven to provide 101% of your tastebuds' daily flavor value.
