More Malaysian Food in London

Kuih Serimuka (rice pudding)

Malaysian food is top of my list of food…..full of flavours. With so many different races residing in Malaysia, a dish of fried noodles can turn out in many ways, presentation and tastes. To me, it’s important to go to the right place with the right chef cooking the food. There is not much choice in UK. It can be quite a frustrating and disappointing experience to go to any one thinking you can get authentic Malaysian food. So far, I’m quite pleased with Malaysian Hall at London which offers rather authentic Malaysian food at a very reasonable price. I had written 3 articles previously.

More Korean Food In London

Chicken Bulgogi Deobab

One of my favourite food is Korean food. The 3 best Korean dishes that I would never miss each time I go to the Korean restaurant in London, Corean Chili, are Tokbokki, Bulgogi and Bibimbap Dolsot which I shared in my earlier post, Korean Food In London. The look and the taste are equally fabulous.

On top of the 3 Korean dishes, I found another 2 great ones. They are Chicken Bulgogi Deobab and Pork Bulgogi Deobab. They are really awesome. They look almost the same but taste different. Both the dishes are quite spicy but they are so good if you like spicy food. After eating them, I still think of them and would want to go back for more. That’s what I call great food.

Portobello Market - Top Tourist Attraction In London

Crowded with people all over

One of the world and top attractions in London is the famous Portobello Market, a street market. We were one day walking along the walkway outside Kensington Gardens admiring all the beautiful artworks when a Brazilian lady stopped to talk to us. She explained to us some of the beautiful pieces of art; the artists and the mediums used for the various paintings. Then she told us about Portobello Market, a place that we must not miss. It opens everyday but the best time to go is on Saturday. She taught us how to get there. That was very kind of her.

Best Fried Rice Noodles In London

Very delicious fried rice noodles (kway tiao)

In a recent trip to the Malaysian Hall (Malaysian High Commission), we decided to have something different. This time we went in the evening for a try. The crowd was again as big as when we were there during lunch time. We ordered the Malaysian ‘kway tiao goreng‘ which is fried rice noodles. It tasted so good with a little spiciness to it. The portion is not too big which is good for me. Together with a plate of ‘nasi lemak’ and 2 glasses of ‘teh tarik’, it cost £11 altogether. What a satisfying meal!

Best Fried Noodles In London

Authentic Malaysian Fried Noodles (Mee Goreng)

I love to talk about food. Food just makes me happy and alive. Of course it has to be very delicious, one that leaves a great after-taste and one that makes you think of it and miss it.

If there’s another food that I miss is the real Malaysian Mee Goreng which is fried noodles cooked by the Malays. The very first thing you need is turbo fire what I call it….real high heat. That’s impossible in any UK home kitchen. Then the type of noodles and the seasonings. It’s realy difficult to describe. I can only say it tastes so good with a big squeeze of lime over it. The best lime is the calamansi limes which I have not come across in UK.

Best Chinese Roast Duck Rice In London

A plate of delicious roast duck

Love Chinese food but don’t know what to eat and where is the right place to eat? Well, if you are in London, you should try the Chinese Roast Duck Rice. It’s fantastic. There are a lot of roast duck restaurants in London but this particular one is the best that we have eaten.

It’s called the Four Seasons Restaurant. If you come out of Bayswater tube station, look across and towards your left, you will see it, which is just next to a Japanese restaurant. The sign board is red in colour.

Scotland Verses England - UK

Going to UK is an exciting experience. But staying in UK can be quite mind-boggling. I went to UK innocent and curious but along the way curiosity turned to confusion and frustrations at times.

UK is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. I landed in Aberdeen, Scotland, which I find breathlessly beautiful. I love all the beautiful castles, the serene country feel and the simple, slow life compared to the hectic life in many other cities.

Richmond, London - An Attractive Town (Chinese Food)

I had such a wonderful experience visiting the Richmond local market (Part 1) and then strolling along the Thames River (Part 2). The heat and hunger drove us to leave the place. We didn’t have a lot of time too. So there the food-hunting adventure begun. We needed food! I really hoped to find Chinese food. As we walk around Richmond town, we were really happy to find one, The Miso shop. They have quite a few chains in London.

Then shop was big and clean. We ordered fried rice noodles. It looks impressive. The presentation was good. Chili oil comes on request. It was free unlike the other Chinese shop where we have to pay 80p for half a small bowl which is too much for a plate of the noodles. We also ordered the pan-fried Chinese dumplings. Well presented too. Both the fried rice noodles and the Chinese dumplings tasted very good except that the dumpling skin was slightly sticky. I presume they added n some glutinous rice flour to the dough. Well, chili oil is important for many Chinese dishes, especially for the noodles. It gives you the punch.

Chinese Dumplings at The Miso, Richmond

You can take have a look at the fried rice noodles at another Chinese shop here which didn’t look and taste as good., only slightly cheaper. I think I still prefer my own homemade Chinese dumplings which you can learn how to cook it yourself here.

If you like to eat Chinese or Malaysian food in London or other parts of UK, you really have to scout around. Certain shops or restaurant are only good in certain dishes. So, it really depends on what you want to eat. As for me, I just love the one dish meal

Do share your experiences eating Chinese food or Malaysian food in UK or other countries. The best is to learn to cook. I have some recipes for you here on my blog. More will be coming. So, do come back often. Just keep learning and keep smiling. You can only become better in what you keep doing and enjoying.
