Penang Shepherd's Bush

Nice staff and great food. Had the Malaysian chicken curry and Noodles. Food was tasty and smoothies were amazing. The staff were really attentive and friendly. Prices were ok for where it is and quantity was good.

Char kway teow is supposed to have 'hum' (cockles) and lap cheong inside! A seafood substitute will be nice (e.g. tiny oysters / mussels and chopped sausages) but unfortunately lacking. Rendang is fairly on point / fleek, though a bigger portion would be nice (you know it wouldn't hurt your bottom line given the prevalence of beef here). To be fair, Malaya food will always be overpriced once you get out of Asia. Just like how one would drink overpriced coffee at Starbucks for the ambience and environment, the excess one pays here is simply for a taste of home (or at least some semblance of it). Food borders on Thai / Malayan (Chinese? Malay Muslim?) fare but understandable in adjusting to the tastes of locals (like how they sell korean bim bim bab in supposedly Japanese food establishments here). There are definitely better and more personal representations elsewhere, but overall a decent attempt in recreating the flavours appropriately.

Pretty good food, a bit on the dear side, place is clean, service was all right.
