Layang Layang restaurant in Cupertino

Props to JatBar.com for once again turning me on to another decent retaurant I would never have found otherwise.

First, they recommended Tres Potrillos in Sunnyvale off Fair Oaks. My god, it's walking distance from our house and I had never even seen it. Killer Carnitas and the biggest fresh orange juice I've ever seen.

Second, they mentioned the Rose & Crown pub for Fisn n' chips, which I must have walked by a hundred times. Very good fish if you're up for a pub atmosphere.

Third times a charm, I figured, so we headed over to Layang Layang on S. De Anza, between 85 and Prospect for some Malaysian food.

We ordered:
1) Roti
2) Hainanese Chicken
3) Seafood Layang (or something)
4) Chicken Rice
5) Young coconut pudding dessert

1) The Roti is stellar - perfectly chewy AND crunchy. I don't know what their secret is, but I'm going to find out somehow.

2) Hainanese chicken was so-so: it was a bit under-cooked, and we're spoiled from the one they serve at "Noodles" restaurant at the Bellagio in Vegas, which is really hard to beat.

3) Seafood in taro basket: If you like deep-fried Taro, you will love this - otherwise, I'd get something else. I happen to love taro in all forms, so this was pretty good.

4) Chicken rice... was rice made with chicken broth. Nice solid complement to the Hainanese rice.

4) Coconut pudding: Fantastic, but more like coconut jell-o than pudding. Still, this would be killer on a hot day, and the thing is pretty huge, as R and I split one order between us.

All in all, I'm interested in going back to Layang Layang again, simply because of the Roti, and the potential for other dishes. Their dessert menu is great, if you're into S.E. Asian desserts (and I am :-)
