KUALA LUMPUR: Hardly a year since its debut in New York City, Malaysian restaurant Mamak Malaysia has been awarded a one-star rating by Michelin Guide, the international benchmark for good food.

Owned by chef Nani Yusof Hughie, a former journalist with national news agency Bernama, the restaurant serves up popular dishes identified with Penang’s Indian Muslim community. It was listed in the guide last month.
