Where? Rasa Sayang (Soho, London, England) Map Menu
When? Wednesday March 15, 2017
Who? Me
Food Style? Malaysian
I'm craving the food of my people so I'm in Soho, in the heart of London, at Rasa Sayang, which means "loving feeling". I chose a combo meal, so I get a drink, mains and dessert for a set price. Food arrives quickly, hawker style.
Drink
Air Bandung - rose water syrup
It's very sweet, but it does remind me of home. Probably not the most thirst-quenching drink on the menu. I love the black herbal jelly, it helps balance the sweetness.
Mains
Char Kuey Teow - wok-fried flat noodles in superior dark sauce and fresh seafood
It's okay. It's not Little Penang good and it's lacking chilli and the all important wok hei. I really like the prawns and especially the inclusion of the prawn head, which I suck the juices out of gleefully. I ask for some sambal and it improves the meal...but it's still not spicy! Ah well. British problems.
Dessert
Cendol - shaved ice in palm sugar and coconut milk, topped with fragrant green pandan jelly and sweet red bean
Can't resist ordering cendol here. It looks odd served in a hipster mason jar, but this is probably the most authentic item of the three I've had here. It doesn't matter that the weather is miserable and cold, I'm enjoying the lashings of coconut cream and gula melaka on top the shaved ice, red bean, and pandan-flavoured "worms"!
A bit disappointing, to be honest. A lot of the places around Soho look very touristy, and it is damn expensive too. If you want good Chinese, try heading to Bayswater. I don't have any recommendations for Malaysian food yet, though.
