New Malaysia Restaurant

I've walked past New Malaysia (46-48 Bowery, Chinatown) dozens of times, and taken notice. Mostly I've paid attention to this place because of its historically significant address. This was the site of a tavern where George Washington used to drink, and later the theater where blackface was invented.

But the restaurant itself is an amazing find, the kind of hole in the wall gem you hope to discover when roaming Chinatown. The Malaysian curried beef brisket I had, $6, was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. I can't stop thinking about how good. And their extensive menu promises more culinary delights. Yeah, I need to go back and try the seafood, the clam and crab dishes look like they might cause a full-blown obsession with this hidden little place.
