Two Singaporeans, one Chinese Malaysian New Zealander and one Kansan Manhattanite ordered:
101 Roti canai - generally nice and stretchy, I like this with more ghee (like the version at Singapore Malaysian in the Richmond in SF)
103 Roti murtabak - kind of weird filling, not very meaty and not very tasty meat at that
301 Laksa mee - not Penang style though you can ask for it that way, best thing about it was the chicken, broth wasn't that exciting - quite similar to the roti sauce, wouldn't advise ordering both
304 Char kway teow - fattish rice noodles with bits of shrimp and chewy octopus, some wok hay, noodles stuck together a bit too much
308 Mee Siam - basically Pad Thai with boiled eggs, not spicy but also not as sugary as most Pad Thais
700 Hainanese chicken - hard to screw this up; still, not a huge amount of taste to the meat
801 Rendang beef - arguably the best version of this I've had in the US, really nice texture, maybe Jayakarta's has a beefier taste
Total $63 inc. tax and tip, with plenty of leftovers.
Recommended: 101, 304, 801.

One of the absolute best things about living in Berkeley is the omnipresence of Acme. You can get their loaves fresh from Andronico's, fresher and cheaper from the Berkeley Bowl, and freshest and cheapest from the San Pablo bakery. Everything I've tried there has been great, including the brilliant baguettes and especially the sour-but-not-too-sou r, incredibly crisp levain. If it's good enough for Alice Waters, it's good enough for me.
