 In fact, I walked past one yesterday.  It's called Penang, I believe, and is
 located in Chinatown, on Washington Street between Kneeland Street and Beach
 Street.  I couldn't tell you the first thing about the food, but it is a
 VERY nice-looking place.

 I've been there twice; first time was fairly non-descript, second time was
 wonderful (and I can't remember for the life of me any of the dishes we'd
 ordered, but the marinated pickled vegetable appetizer thing was excellent.)
 Friends of mine who have been there frequently rave about it, so I'm inclined
 to think my first visit was on an off-night.  Prices are very reasonable
 (under $10 mostly?) so it's certainly worth a try.

 Penang, 685-691 Washington Street, is moderately new.  The food was
 good (though the odd drinks are really *very* odd, and only "drinks"
 by liberal semantics), the place was fairly crowded and noisy and
 suggested "popular night spot".

 A good friend of mine who is from Malaysia (now living in Boston) swears
 that this place is "the real thing."  Haven't been yet, but looking
 forward to it.
