Best Malay Restaurants in Putrajaya/Cyberjaya

Looking for a casual place where you can feast without caring much on the price? Or perhaps you're into restaurants with an abundance of dishes? If you are, then you've come to the right place. This casual and relaxing place offers a wide range of 'nasi kandar-like' delights, chicken rice, tomyam soup, fried rice, stir-fried vegetables and many more!

Padi House Restaurant is a traditional looking place, not to be confused with the one at Putrajaya where they lean more towards western dishes. This place on the other hand, offers a good selection of local favourites such as char kuey teow, otak-otak, nasi goreng and much more. Variety is something they excel in as the menu feels a lot like a dictionary, so searching for something you like shouldn't be a problem, though it may take some time. 

If you're a fan of lobsters, then you might just want to pay a visit to this stall named 'Udang Galah' (which is BM for lobsters) at Rasa Food Court, Putrajaya. You are also free to pair different sizes of lobsters (from L to XXL) with anything they offer such as curry mee, mee bandung or fried rice. The lobster, regardless of size, is naturally sweet and plump. Though of course, if you were to opt for the larger ones, they would taste even better. Both the curry mee and mee bandung are rich in flavour, while the fried rice is a little more modest. So choose wisely!

My Iman Noodles House is a Chinese-muslim restaurant that offers a wide range of delectable noodles, rice dishes and savoury sides. One should go for both the beef soup noodle or beef braised noodle/rice if they're looking for something flavourful. On the lighter side, the chicken rice too is well worth the praise. There is also a serving of homemade chili on the side, so just add that in and adjust to your own level of spiciness. 

Serabei Restaurant at Ayer@8 is home to many great local delicacies. From the classic nasi kerabu to satay, nasi dagang to nasi briyani, and many more. Don't forget to try out their signature Serabei dish, which comprises of rice flour made into a shape of a tiny pancake - much like a cracker. Also, the Lompat Tikam, a Terangganu delight is definitely worth going for.

Slero D Timur is a place of luxury, well, only for one dish, the Maggi Ketam. Yes, you've heard that right. Their signature bowl of Maggi noodles comes with a whole crab, in which its both juicy and packed full of flavour. The soup base is a fairly spicy tomyam broth, with a lingering aftertaste. However, if you are not in the mood for luxury, then go for its selective array of fried rice and various other Malay delicacies.
