Peninsula Malaysian Cuisine

As one of the few, if not the only place, that has nasi lemak, this establishment does a great job in providing dishes that range from Chinese to Malaysian to Singaporean cultures. I believe that since COVID they have transitioned to takeout only, and it's great to see that the business is still thriving even if they are still operating under the takeout only model despite how the world has evolved away from the pandemic. For the few dishes that I came here for, qualities varied, with some dishes lacking flavor while others simply sloppily created. The Hainanese chicken relied solely on the extra dipping sauces for flavor while the chicken itself had no flavor alone. The nasi lemak had good flavor mainly because of the sambal, and the chicken had good texture. I didn't see any peanuts in the dish, which I thought was needed for nasi lemak. The sizzling beef and ginger scallion duck had pretty expected flavor because of their ingredients, meaning that what they looked like was what they tasted like, if that makes sense. When I got food from there a second time 4 months later, overall the food was better. The chili tofu wasn't spicy at all even if I asked for spicy in my original order. The char kway teow had both good flavor and soft texture, allowing a positive tasting experience. The sambal shrimp had a good amount of vegetables and not enough shrimp, and had very good flavor because of the sambal infused with the dish. Because their menu is huge, I think they have an adequate selection of options that can serve customers of all kinds. Even though this is not one of my favorite spots within the Twin Cities, the dishes they have already solidifies this establishment as a "must not miss" within the area.

this place is so underrated! while they only do takeout, you can go in and order, and the service is very fast. as someone who’s spent extensive time trying all sorts of boba places, their milk teas are some of the best i’ve had in minnesota. the tea they use is very flavorful and sugar levels can be adjusted. the staff here really want to make sure you’re taken care of and offered to adjust/remake the drinks if we didn’t like how sweet/not sweet they were. i tend to find a lot of desserts in mn quite sweet, so i defo would opt for 30-50% if you’re in the same boat. prices are also very fair as well and the service is very quick. bonus points if you can speak chinese as well!

Ordered from Uber eats this Nasi Lemak. Spoiled rice, oatmeal like texture. So gross, I couldn’t eat the rest of my order. Called the restaurant and said just call Uber eats to get the money back. I am not a chef but I will never serve this kind of rice, you can just see the quality control.

I’ve tried almost every boba shop and Asian specialty coffee spot in Minneapolis, and Peninsula Malaysian Cuisine has become my favorite - even though they’re primarily known for their food. Some drinks I’d highly recommend: • Purple Rice Da Hong Pao Milk Tea (P1) • Dirty Strawberry • Oolong Oats Popping Oat Milk Tea (P2) • Taro Smoothie ones • Anything from the sesame foam series The quality honestly rivals drinks I’ve only been able to find in big cities like Chicago and New York. If you’re a fan of brands like HeyTea 喜茶 or Molly Tea 茉莉奶白, you’ll probably appreciate these drinks too. They’re surprisingly affordable for the quality you get. I love supporting great local, family-owned businesses instead of large chains and discover hidden gems. The owner has done a lot to support the community during difficult times caused by ICE, and that kind of commitment deserves recognition. I hope this business continues to thrive and that more people discover it. Minneapolis is lucky to have a place like this.

nasi goreng/ fried rice was very good, it was mamak style. roti pisang good, sayur acar good it was kuah kuning style, however the rendang sapi made me very confused, I don't understand how it can be called rendang, there was no kerisik, …
