I'm sorry, I can't recommend anything on the North Shore, but I can give you some places in town. For Vietnamese food, I like Ba Dat and Pho Pasteur in Chinatown. Ba Dat is on Harrison, Pho Pasteur is on Washington and also on Kneeland. Most of the Vietnamese places in Chinatown will do a decent bowl of pho, bun, or whatever on rice. If I were taking some people with me, I would definitely go to Pho Pasteur in Allston, because it is bigger. Pho Pasteur has several locations around town, all with the same menu, but I have found that the Chinatown locations sometimes don't serve some of the stuff that's on the menu, so I choose the Allston location. I am not familiar with Malaysian food, but there are several options. Pandan Leaf on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, is one (www.digiworld.com/pandan), and Penang on Washington Street in Chinatown is another. Both are well spoken of.
Boston, MA
Vietnamese or Malaysian on the North Shore??
The Andover Inn is a nice place which serves Ristaffael on Sunday evenings. The place is run by a Dutchman who lived in Malaysia and the rest is very classical for a reservation.
