Maybe OCK in Singapore now also sells laksa and nasi lemak. But the ones I have experienced when I grew up were OCK that sold all types of quick snack food - of cos the infamous chicken curry puffs with egg, other puffs and then an array of stick food (fish balls, lobster balls, fried sotong). This small outlet here is a powerhouse - it has the signature chicken curry, rendang and sardine puffs when I went. They also have laksa (soup and dry) and nasi lemak with different mains (signature chicken curry, beef rendang, dry chicken curry and other vegetable options. We got soup laksa, nasi lemak with dry curry, beef rendang puff and my old reliable chicken curry puff. My favorites were the nasi lemak and the chicken curry puff. In fact, the chicken curry puff is better in London as it is larger in size and the pastry is thinner, which makes for a lot of curry potato and chicken filling and almost half an egg. We also did get ours hit right out of the pipping hot oven. I love OCK and Londoners are extremely lucky! Please open a branch in USA!

We were tired after exploring Leicester Sq, and the Trafalgar area and looking for quick food. Googled and found this, looked very bright and quick grab, so decided to try this There's also a short menu of noodles and soups served in cardboard bowls. Inside, it's bright yellow and cheerful, but the vibe is grab-and-go, with just a sprinkling of seats. We ordered *Curry Chicken Potato puff - spicy mix inside, crunchy outside. It's commonly stuffed with curried chicken or potatoes and is a hybrid of other food items. It blends cornish pasties, samosas, and empanadas in the most beautiful way. * Fried Laksa Noodle with Sambal (Shrimp noodles) Joint runs by the owner and, I guess, his daughter. The owner was very polite and helpful, and made us go through the menu. We sat outside and enjoyed our food. Vibe was chill. It's near Covent Garden, so it's always lively. Note: when we sat out, the owner immediately came and warned us about how thieves are active in this area, and last night, someone stole a phone from the table, and the owner had to go to the police station to help his customer (just wanted to put this)

The iced chocolate drink was also a nice treat. I would definitely come back here if travelling from Euston again.

As someone who is of Singaporean heritage, this place is not bad. It definitely is a good intro for…read morethose who are going to Singapore or want a taste of Singapore. however, if you're from the country, it may not be that impressive. Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore. Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK. Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it. Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done. Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore. Overall an ok place- If you've not had Singapore food before this is a good pricy intro to what's ahead.

The broth was decadent, rich and balanced, with wonderful complexity. The only thing I'd change is: include some proper veggies (greens preferably). Service was extremely friendly, prompt, and proficient. They default tack on an optional 12.5% service charge, so ask to remove it if you don't want to pay it. Highly recommended.
