Sentosa Malaysian Cuisine

Despite taking its name from the Malay word for “tranquility,” Sentosa is a maelstrom of activity—particularly on weekends, when families pack the long, wood-paneled dining room. Most memorable are the indigenous offerings, like the spicy roti canai pancakes or the Malaysian rojak, a pineapple-heavy fruit salad topped with a piquant shrimp paste. The mango chicken—served in a hollowed-out fruit—similarly fuses sweet and sour, while “volcano” spare ribs deliver on their fiery promise. Put out the heat with an ice kacang: shaved ice with red beans, corn, jelly and coconut milk.
