Putera Puteri

Amongst the many Malaysian restaurants popping up all over London, Putera Puteri is one of the few that serve Nasi Kandar, a specialty from Penang that I would consider an underrated dish in the perception of Malaysian cuisine abroad. Although what I ate was filling and very delicious, I do feel their rendition of Nasi Kandar can be improved.

Fortunately, the mixed curry was really good and taste just as it would back home with a slight sweetness and spice. Ultimately, my main issue was with the ratio of rice and protein. The portion of rice is too small for me hence i ended up having to finish the beef 'Daging masak hitam' (which was good and plentiful) without rice. Also, having only one ring of fried squid (which was also delicious) made it feel immaterial. Most importantly, I would have loved for the fried chicken to be something much more associated with Nasi Kandar such as 'ayam goreng mamak' or 'ayam bawang' instead of the normal one I got.

Overall, I paid £28 for 1 Nasi Kandar & 1 Sirap Bandung which at the end of the day was delicious and lasted me an entire day of walking around London. Still, I highly recommend everyone to try Nasi Kandar here or wherever you can find it in London instead of the still delicious but unimaginative Nasi Lemak with Rendang that every Malaysian restaurant here seems to offer.

Malaysians know how to eat. This street food style cafe serves delicious Malaysian staples freshly cooked from the open kitchen. I had the Laksa which was superb, a rich slightly spicy broth with fresh veggies egg and chicken and noodles. Portion was very generous at £13.95 unbeatable. This place is not about the decor and experience its about the delicious food what you expect in SE Asia.

Last month we went there for lunch. It was our first time trying Malaysian food!
It’s a small place, but they offer a good variety of dishes.
I’d love to try other dishes when I have the chance to come back :)

This place is an absolute underrated authentic gem.

Honestly, as soon as I walked in everything about it was perfect. From the lovely welcoming staff to the peaceful & laid back atmosphere and the incredible authentic food. Everything was 10/10.

I ordered the roti with chicken curry to start 11/10
Filled by the Nasi lemak with fried chicken. I asked the staff about trying a little beef rendang and they very kindly added a generous amount to my dish at no extra charge.

On top of this, I had asked the staff about the tradition mini cakes they make and he very kindly gave me and my friend each a selection of 3 different kinds to try. He also gave us some extras to take home.

Such a perfect evening, with delicious authentic food and the loveliest staff. Guaranteed to have a nice experience if you come.

And extra thanks to the lovely guy who welcomed us in and served us. I Will be coming back for sure

Great vibes. Feel like being in Kuala Lumpur. Great service, very friendly staff. Food to be improved. Overall, recommended for any Malaysian who travel to London and staying at Hyde Park.
