Apparently this is a Malaysian dish. There are quite a few Malaysian Chinese dishes. The owner of the restaurant was complaining that mainland Chinese food, except for Szechuan, is quite plain.

Fascinating thank you.

Is Malaysian food spicy or hot?

It depends on what you want - you can have quite simple things like fishball noodle soup that have clear simple broth or you can have something quite fiery. Plenty of curry, plenty of chilli based dishes. I have colleagues who complain about the spiciness of the food here. You can also have sour type dishes as well.
