Malaysia Beef Jerky

Operating since 1996, this small, old-school shop moved from its long-term Elizabeth Street home to a busier stretch of Mott Street. Here, they handcraft beef, pork, and chicken jerky from scratch, selling it by the slice or in packs from a quarter-pound to a full pound. The flavors are savory and not too salty, spanning regular and spicy varieties. For those chasing heat, the spicy chicken carries a sharper kick than the pork or beef. Cash keeps the transaction cheaper at this straightforward counter.
