The tofu puffs were awesome! The tofu skin wraps were delicious. The flavour was just perfect. The quality is really good as well. Also minor note - 12.5% service charge was added to my order by default.

They have a wonderful selection of authentic malaysian food. And being from Malaysia myself, I can say it is definitely comparatively delicious. They give out free prawn crackers as an appetitzer for free! Seeing as they named "satay" as part of the restaurant, I was inclined to give it a try. It turned out to be the best satay chicken I've ever had! Perfectly grilled, scumptiously juicy, and paired with a mouth watering peanut sauce. If there is anything you must try from this place, you MUST try the satay! :) Most dishes are priced around ~6 pounds and the proportion size is good. Because of its relatively small size, the workers are rather attentive to their customers, as they often make sure the waters are filled and everything else is okay. I highly recommend others to give this often overlooked place a try.

In the name of Yelp research and my ongoing search for good Malaysian food in the UK, I made a trip there yesterday on the tram, which incidentally is good fun Uncle Lim's Kitchen is an open plan restaurant located on the first floor in the southern end of the shopping centre. Although it's located in a corner of the mall, large signage makes it hard to miss The main counter looks like a regular pile 'em high Chinese counter takeaway place, like Panda Express in the USA if you're familiar with that concept. The main difference is that they serve Malaysian rather than Chinese dishes and there was a tempting looking Malaysian chicken curry and rendang. However, it was their menu of special cook to order dishes which looked more tempting. They had the old Malaysia hawker (street) food stalwarts like Hainan chicken rice and char koay teow. However, I did hear most of the Malaysian customers order the curry laksa and so I went with that Laksa is an aromatic spicy broth, usually using seafood as a base mixed with a heady concoction of spices and finished with coconut milk. The version had enough curry leaves in it to convince me that they had made it fresh rather than from a pre-bought paste. There were chicken, prawns and fried towfoo with the noodles. Only minus was a broken juicer meant no fresh juiuces yesterday Definitely worth a return trip to try more things on the menu.

Oh look, an Asian restaurant whose name has nothing to do with the oriental nickname of table…read moretennis, a bloody dragon, golden-something, and doesn't claim to be some royal moon legend king of Sichuan and dumpling village. Me? A problem with unoriginal, stereotypical Chinese restaurant names? No... I was, however, comforted by the fact that this Malaysian eating place had a name close to home: Uncle Lim's. In Southeast Asia, most particularly in Singapore and Malaysia, middle-aged to elderly men can be addressed as 'uncle', even if they are not a sibling of your parent. You can approach a 60-something year old man for $1 ice cream and greet him as 'uncle'. When you go into a place with a name like 'Golden Dragon', you expect food which tastes unauthentic and mediocre, just like its unoriginal name. (Having said that, I've never eaten at Golden Dragon, so I can't judge just yet, but I'm already turned off anyway.) When you go to a Malaysian canteen-style eating place called 'Uncle Lim's', you are like, hey, I feel like I know this Uncle Lim guy already, and I'm going to see a balding, aproned Chinese man take my order with a smile and a familiar slang. Maybe my expectations were a little high, as I had my order taken by one of two caucasian ladies who were standing behind the steaming trays of various meat and vegetable dishes, which were choices for meal deals which come with steamed rice or noodles. I shared a plate of Hainanese Chicken Rice (£5) with a friend, as the portions are said to be huge, and they were indeed. The dish was served with steamed chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, and fragrant rice cooked with chicken broth. For chicken rice so far from home, they really have managed to get the correct taste of both the rice and the tender chicken, plus the black sauce drizzled on top. Five more gold stars for the extra large portion as well. The only thing I was sceptical about was the fact that the skin on the chicken was yellow - quite a scary yellow. However, I did some research, and it appears that yellow-skinned chicken is corn-fed, and therefore extra tasty. I'm definitely going to return to Uncle Lim's one day, to try their famed Char Kway Teow, (stir-fried, flat and broad rice noodles) and the mixed rice/noodle dishes. It is a good fix for a hometown-food-craving, with great value and a decent variety.

The Malaysian Restaurant is a sister restaurant to the Peking Restaurant on the opposite side of…read morethe road. The restaurant is in a relatively old building in the High Street, and there are some framed pottery and descriptions on the wall inside the restaurant. The restaurant itself is larger than it looks and extends back into the building. The food is Malaysian (duh!) which is like Chinese but with spicier influences similar to Thai or Indonesian. We had a mixed starter which comprised of prawn toast, vegetable spring roll, samosa, chicken satay and some other morsels: it was all nice and tasty. We followed this with Rendang Kam Bing an aromatic slow-cooked lamb with coconut lemon grass and chilli dish; Ayam Goreng Sambal deep fried chicken with a fragrant shrimp and chilli paste; their version of Singapore noodles; Mee Goreng Ayam rice vermicelli pan fried with chicken and egg. All the dishes were tasty, with quite a lot of thinly sliced chillies as garnish, but the highlight was the lamb it was very tasty and the meat was falling apart. We followed this with a couple of authentic Malaysian speciality desserts, they were both nice, but one would have been enough between the two of us. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food tasty and interesting: recommended. Parking is on-street.

Nothing sounded that enticing and most all seemed very overpriced. As we continued to wander around, we encountered Warung and knew we were going to feast on one of their curries. I ordered their simple Malay chicken curry over rice and he ordered their beef rendang over rice. I don't recall seeing any vegetarian options. But both curries were really good and well-balanced! And BOTH were only 5£. It was quite an extraordinary amount of food for such a small price. It was also topped with fried onions and a bit of lettuce. The business is around all days of the week except Thursdays. You can see more about them here: https://www.facebook.com/KualaLumpurCafe I do recommend this place to someone looking for a cheap lunch in London if you're in the area.

Having travelled in the far East a few times I can be picky with Asian food places which rely too heavily on things being sweet or simply hot.

Right in the heart of the city, surrounded by Oxfam stores and Ladbrokes and gelato shops, this fast food provided the BEST Chinese and Malaysian food during our trip to UK. I would even give the food a grade higher than the Malaysian restaurants in Philadelphia or NJ. The char kuew tiauw is authentic it almost transported me back to Asia. The fried rice is perhaps just slightly above average, but I gave them high marks since they use less oil and salt (as requested). The rendang meat as part of the nasi lemak has the appropriate marinated level of curry around it. The store closed late and opened early on Sunday, which was a blessing since we want to get one more dish for the road before heading down toward Brighton that weekend. The portions are generous, the service was prompt and friendly, and price is unbelievably low for any restaurant in England. If you happen to travel to Southampton and want a sure bet away from the usual British fare, this will surely be my recommendation.
