Reviews
The Malaysian restaurant, Face to Face, is doing very well; it should be considered a foreign chain brand. The business is excellent. I've been there a few times, and even before opening, there are queues, and it quickly becomes full, so I always call ahead to order and pick up. The environment is clean and bright, with all the seats occupied.
The coconut rice is almost as delicious as the one I had in Singapore. It feels like the cuisines of Singapore and Malaysia have many similarities yet also some differences in flavor. The Penang curry noodles are moderately spicy and very tasty, with just the right amount of flavor without being too salty. The two shrimp are peeled, and the mixed fried items feel quite Taiwanese, haha. Overall, it should taste even better when eaten on-site.
First time trying authentic Malaysian food in Taipei🇲🇾
The layout of the restaurant is very eye-catching and unique. The outside of the restaurant is large in royal blue with a white background. The interior is decorated with cute but not fancy decorations. The dining outlet is also made to look like a noodle stall.
Moreover, the prices of the meals on the menu are very affordable. Staple dishes such as noodles and nasi lemak are available for only 200 yuan, and side dishes can be tasted for only copper coins. If you are having a dinner with friends, it is highly recommended to order every side dish. For one portion, you can eat all kinds of delicious Malay food!

I highly recommend the nasi lemak. Simply put, it is a plate of Malaysian chicken drumstick rice. Poached eggs paired with juicy nasi lemak are refreshing. They use Thai rice, with distinct grains, and you can taste the fragrance of coconut milk. Dip a little on the side. The sambal sauce will be very enjoyable to eat together, and the small fish and peanuts that are paired with it are also quite mouth-watering. The chicken drumstick is very big. It tastes crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It’s no problem to eat the whole chicken leg. It can also be dipped in sambal sauce. The spiciness and saltiness are very different.
