They renovated the old Penang and renamed it to Passat Malam. The new owner did a good job with the renovation. The interior atmosphere and decor is way better than the old Penang. The food and service is also much better! We had delicious Roti Telur for appetizer, Thai Basil Noodle (Pad Kee Mai) and Kari Mee with Redang Chicken for dinner. Every meal ways very delicious! Will definitely come back for more!

Came in around 6pm for dinner on Tuesday and was seated immediately. Wasn't busy at all. I've been here numerous times when it was Penang and was here for the first time after it changed over.Was nice to see the menu is relatively the same. The staff is way more attentive and I like how there's normal wooden chopsticks now instead of those huge plastic orange ones which was a pain to use.The food came out really quick. My favorite app is the Roti Canai. The bread has a wonderful texture and the curry sauce is very flavorful.For entrées we got the beef pad thai and the mee siam. The beef pad thai is great, noodles had nice texture and the dish isn't too sweet. I did find the beef to be a bit chewy but overall the pad thai had nice flavor. The mee siam also had nice flavor and crispy veggies. I did appreciate how clean and fresh the shrimp were.For dessert we ordered the fried ice cream. I have to say it was not good. The crust wasn't as crispy and had a very grainy mouth feel. If you're expecting a tempura styled fried ice cream, this is not it. The ice cream itself also wasnt good, hardly any vanilla flavor. Will try something else for dessert next time.

Food tastes as flavorful as before. The inside looks different, childlike. Service is very fast.

They are probably the best Asian food in the Nassau Park Mall. The stir fried noodles are a standout and go perfectly with the bubble tea.

We recently went to Pasar Malam for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by how well they recreated the ambiance. We had the chance to speak with the owner, who was extremely nice. She even recommended a fantastic vegetarian dish, Kari Sayur. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious meal, which was more than enough for the two of us. I highly recommend this place for its excellent menu, food, ambiance, and staff!
Recently newly developed Malaysian restaurant. Friendly service, fresh and good- quality ingredients, and reasonable prices. We tried their special Malaysian dishes such as bak gut teh soup paired with youtiao (crispy dough bread), Hometown Coconut fried rice, ice cendol dessert, homemade banana pancake & kuya toast (special).There are many items on the menu.Our server followed up promptly and makes sure the food arrive fresh and hot. It was easy to get off of Route 1 and a lot of parking available. After eating, you can shop around too. Great location to try Asian food. Enjoyed eating here and excited to go back again!

Unbelievable. Punishing customers and charging for a convenient fee for using a credit card, regardless of the transaction size, unacceptable!!!This should be illegal, especially when the fee remains regardless of the purchase amount, it shouldn't come at the expense of your customer.Will not recommend this place to any of my friends or family. Adapt to standard practice or lose more customers.

This place used to be Penang Malaysian restaurant, now Pasar Malam.I can't believe how greedy this new establishment is, they now charge your a convenience fee for paying with a credit card, regardless of how much your order is, how ridiculous! They should be shouldering that fee for using a credit card machine and it should be part of their operational cost. This convenience is not just for customers, but also for your business!Will not be back here.

This was an awesome experience! Don’t be fooled by the name change, this resteraunt still serves most of the same dishes that Penang used to except, in my opinion, does it even better! The service is even better than before (everyone there is super nice and efficient) and the food is so flavorful.We ordered the roti kanai (a family favorite), another roti dish with egg and onion in it, a vegetable oyster garlic sauce dish, drunken noodles (otherwise called the thai basil chicken noodles), and tofu w seafood soup! The soup had such a beautiful ginger flavor and did wonders in this cold weather- not to meantion the tofu and seafood included were cooked to supreme tenderness and all worked together in harmony. Every other dish was great as well, the roti kanai was crispy and soft at the same time while the curry it was served alongside had the right amount of spice and umami. Additionally, the vegetable dish and drunken noodles were delicious (ask for some chili oil on the side if you like extra spice).To finish it off we got the thai ice tea and pineapple upside down cake! They were both perfect (not overly sweet and served at the right temperatures)! Highly recommend this restaurant!
