A homely, halal Malaysian spot in Bayswater delivering deeply authentic, comforting flavors and exceptional wok hei.
Ordering Strategy
Order a mix of smoky noodles and the standout kangkung belacan to share, and make sure to leave room for the extensive selection of traditional kueh from the counter.
What to order
Char Kuey Teow
Acclaimed as the 'best version' in London, this dish captures the 'breath of the wok' (wok hei), imbuing the stir-fried flat rice noodles with a 'deliciously smoky, charred flavour' that satisfies even the most homesick critics.
Nasi Lemak
A traditional, filling feast of fragrant coconut rice served with sambal, egg, meat, and pickles that serves as a cornerstone of the restaurant's homely Malaysian menu.
Kangkung Belacan
Considered the 'biggest winner' by reviewers, this dish of crunchy morning glory stems is coated in a fermented shrimp paste (belacan) that is 'complex and full of depth'—a must-order with a steaming bowl of rice.

Good to know
The restaurant is entirely halal. Dine-in is highly recommended over delivery to fully experience the delicate 'wok hei' (breath of the wok) in their hot dishes.
