Overall, recommended 7.5/10 Dry Bak Kut Teh — 4/5 Soy sauce-based dish featuring tender pork ribs and pork belly cubes, simmered with a mix of soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar for a savory-sweet flavor profile. The meat is soft, flavorful, and pairs wonderfully with stir-fried onions, scallions, and okra. However, the pork belly cubes had a slight gamy taste. Fried Chili & Garlic Crispy Eggplant Stuffed with Pork — 3.5/5 The fried eggplants are wonderfully crispy, and the minced pork flavored with chili, garlic, and fish sauce pairs excellently with rice. However, the eggplant itself lacked seasoning, which left the dish feeling slightly unbalanced. Teh Tarik (Milk Tea) — 5/5 Absolutely amazing. It’s smooth and slightly thick, with a rich aroma of black tea, similar to Hong Kong-style milk tea but enhanced by a hint of unique spices that set it apart. Anyway, I’ll definitely come back to explore more dishes on their menu.

The food here was absolutely delicious. We had the honey chicken and eggplant with pork. I wish there was more pork with the whiplash, but still yum regardless.

As soon as I walked into the restaurant I was greeted with a warming smile. The service was wonderful and food came out in an excellent speed. Food was extremely well put together and the atmosphere was beautiful. The vibrant flavours of Malaysia really made me feel like I was going on a voyage throughout the rich Malaysian culture. Wonderful restaurant and most definitely coming back!

Petaling Malaysian Restaurant serves some of the most authentic Malaysian food in Auckland! The slow-cooked 豬蹄膀 and egg tofu were both absolutely amazing. The crispy taro bowl was also delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true taste of Malaysia!
