The Friday before last I had beef massaman from Little Malaysia. I have reviewed Little Malaysia in this blog. I have also reviewed beef massaman in this blog. But I have never reviewed Little Malaysia's beef massaman. So here goes. I would have to say that on aggregate, Little Malaysia's beef massaman is my favourite. Not all of the elements are perfect, but it's still the best I've encountered. The only negative to speak of is that it is not spicy. I'm not sure if an authentic massaman is supposed to be spicy, but I really think that a shot of spice would be a welcome enhancement to the meal. Other than that, everything about it is great. First, one has the option of a roti accompaniment. I would normally prefer a slightly more absorbent bread, but the fact that there is dipping bread at all is a big plus in my books. The sauce is on the thick side, which I prefer, and although lacking spice, it's not lacking anything else. The beef and potatoes are cut finely and as a result, very tender. Finally, the portion is very generous. The dish does come with rice, but by the time I'm through with the bread and the beef and potatoes, I have no need for rice. In conclusion, this is a dish that keeps me coming back to Little Malaysia.
