New Belacan is a popular spot in Brooklyn for Malaysian cuisine, known for its fresh and tasty dishes. The restaurant offers a variety of options, including roti Canai, Oakra, shrimp with Belacan sauce, and morning glory veg with Belacan sauce, all served with butter rice. The staff, including the lady owner, are friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming environment for diners. The menu features traditional Southeast Asian dishes such as dried noodle, soup noodle, and fried rice. Customers appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere, making it a good choice for dinner if in the area. The space is small and shows signs of age, with sticky tables and a need for some updating. Food-wise, some popular items include taro nest, satay chicken, lady fingers with shrimp, and morning glory. However, Hainanese Chicken could be smoother, and some dishes like sautéed tofu, stingray, and pineapple fried rice may not meet everyone's taste. Roti can be disappointing, and the restaurant's interior is simple with wooden tables, suitable for quick meals or casual outings. Despite some areas needing improvement, New Belacan remains a reliable place to enjoy traditional Malaysian food.
