What are the best-known restaurants in Malaysia?

It depends where in Malaysia: in Bangsar, Baba Low; in Kuala Lumpur, Dancing Fish. Each is the current #1 in its own city's community vote — rankings aren't merged across cities, since voters in one city aren't ranking the same options as voters in another.

How do rankings work?

Every list here is a wiki: anyone can add a place, cast a vote, or start a new list, and rankings update live as votes come in — no editorial gatekeeping. Votes are only ever compared within a single list, never merged across different cities or lists.
