There is a Malaysian food gem in Abu Dhabi ... Its called Meena Cafe

Thanks to KCL, who brought bbG to Meena Cafe at the Zelan construction site near Port Zayed, I have my Malaysian chap-fan and tai-chau fix!

YES ... Proper Malaysian food in Abu Dhabi!!! :-)

This ain't pork, no matter how much it tasted like it, or even looked like it ... Ching Chee Yoke, NOT. Ching Kai Yuk :-)


Noodles which bbG prepared for us to have with some ta-powed Meena Cafe food!


This was actually our breakfast early one weekend morning! I should be so lucky...


Lovely siew mai!


Yes... this is ROAST DUCK! Not cheap ... but definitely affordable by Abu Dhabi prices!

Meena Cafe even does a super tofu :-) dish!
Update! Jan 2010 ... Directions, thanks to bbG ;-)
1) From Corniche Road, follow the roadsign to Port Zayed.
2) Go through the tunnel (with blue color tiles) and keep to your left. If I am right...it says Port Zayed Gate 2. The road will curve to your left and you will reach a traffic light. On your right, you will see the vege and fruit souk.
3) GO straight until you reach a roundabout and turn to your 9'o clock.
4) Go straight until u reach a T-junc. Turn to your right and find yourself a parking lot.
5) Meena Cafe is located inside the construction site on your right (before the iranian shops).
