)It is normal and common that we can see many other races customers in a mamak stall or a Malay restaurant. But this is a rare case!!! I found a Chinese restaurant which has many Chinese customers!!! Well, there are historical evidences that prove this Chinese ethic has a great relation with Malay.
IT IS A HAINAN RESTAURANT
It has a normal modern shop external appearance.
Big SURPRISE to be unveiled behind this piece of yellowish-green wood blinds.
Aha! This is a retro-styled restaurant with antique chairs, tables, cupboards and even the fans.
Food is served on Chinese-traditional plates which creates the late 90′s atmosphere…
The second surprise will be….
You may spot Malay customers in this restaurant!!!!
For your information, the original name of MEE HAILAM that you can order in a mamak / Malay stall is MEE HAINAN. Except the famous Hainan Chicken Rice (rice in spherical shape), there are plenty delicious Hainanese foods such as the Hinan Chicken Chop. Of course, mostly Hainan restaurants are pork-free and they are the only Chinese restaurants that gain trust from Malays.
Without any delay, let’s meet the main course of this restaurant.
The (炆米粉) braised meehoon (normally served in Chinese “BIG FRY” 大炒 restaurant).
The (炆伊面) braised Yee Mee (normally served in Chinese “BIG FRY” 大炒 restaurant).
Both noodles above are delicious but they are common food for chinese, so they are not a surprise to me. lolz, xD The Nasi Lemak that served in mamak stall also can be found in this restaurant. The uniqueness of this restaurant starts here.
This prickled chillies normally couldn’t be found in a Chinese “Big Fry” restaurant.
It is only present in Wan Tan Mee stalls.
The unique soy sauce and white pepper bottles.
Cheh, cheh, cheh… no surprise also… (wait….be patient)
WOW, what is this?
This is traditional Hainanese Chicken Chop.
The crunchy and juicy chicken chop is served in a thick sweet and sour sauce with onions, French fries and mixed beans.
You will not find this type of chicken chop in other restaurant.
Only the Hananese restaurant serves this very typical non-western chicken chop.
This Sinaran Restaurant is located in Kuala Pilah town. It is next to the bus station. The chicken chop is priced at RM8 per plate while the price for noodles that served for 1 person is RM6 per plate.

if its a chinese muslim restaurant, there will be malays
if its a seafood only restaurants, there will be malays
though probably not for many malays, some malays refuse to eat any stall/restaurants that does not have a muslim cook..
