Reviews
I love this place. The food, customer service and prices were all great. We ordered the RotiCanai Planta, Rendang NasiIemak with chicken. Vegetable Salad Vietnamese Style, and Uncle Plump’s Dumplings The Rendano Nasi Lemak was the highlight of the meal.
My boyfriend forgot to tell them about allergies and told them halfway as they were preparing our order. They responded really well. In the end. we even got to have a nice conversation with the owner of the restaurant. Super great guy! We were pleasantly surprised with the low price at the end of the meal too. If you are in New York, you have to check out LoveMama. Best meal I have had in a while.
——Mary Brooklin
Stopped by here for Valentine’s Day and we were not disappointed. We got 3 different dishes all from the Malaysian portion of the menu as none of us had ever had Malaysian food. The service was fast but not supper attentive, which we didn’t mind at all. For $20 each with tip and feeling full and happy, this is a spot I’d definitely recommend!

4 . Here are some recommendations for tourists to choose from.
Banff, Canada
Banff, located in the Rockies, has a view of tall mountains, deep valleys and lakes, making it the first town to become part of the country’s national parks. Tourists can enjoy its beauty by hiking, horse riding and boat trips. Banff was founded in 1883 while a railroad was in construction. It was the water springs that drew the engineers’ attention to the place as a settlement. With such a fantastic view, it’s no surprise that Banff hosts a number of cultural festivals.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, with the warmest winters of any major European city.
Belem Tower and Jeronimos Monastery are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The former was built in the 16th century as a symbol of Portugal’s Extraordinary Age and the latter is one of the greatest examples of the Portuguese late-Gothic style of architecture. The Lisbon Oceanaium is among Europe’s finest aquariums. The Museu Calouste Gulbenkian is among the best museums in Europe containing priceless artworks covering 4000 years from ancient Egyptian times to the late 20th century.
Portland, US
Portland is frequently recognized as one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly cities because of its well-built pavements, large community of cyclists and convenient public transportation. Its climate is ideal for growing roses and it’s called the “City of Roses”. Besides, the seaport is also known as a city of beer: it has the largest number of beer breweries（啤酒厂）of any city in the world. Today’s Portland is better known for its music. It’s called “the capital of karaoke” and “one of the most exciting music scenes” in the US.
Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux attracts tourists with its rich cultural heritage, especially its wealth of architectural treasures. Besides the Cathedral of Saint Andrew dating back to 12th century, the Basilica of Saint Michael is another one of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
