Singaporeans love food. For those based in the UK, particularly London, there is only so much Itsu, Wasabi and Pret you can take. You will have a craving for some nasi goreng, roast duck or even chilli crab at some point! Here are some affordable places you can have some Singaporean\/Malaysian food in London.<\/p>\n

Rasa Sayang<\/a>
\n5 Macclesfield Street London, W1D 6AY

\"Roti

Nearest tube: Euston. Right next to a ‘gentlemen’s club’, this Malaysian\u00a0joint has undergone a hipster makeover a few years ago. This is the one place in London where you will really be privileged to see a ‘brudder’ (code for ‘brother’) flip roti pratas in front of your very eyes, like they do back home. You’ll definitely come here to try their variety of roti prata, such as Roti Tisu, Roti Telur and Roti Kaya. Other excellent\u00a0choices are Char Kway Teow, Bee Hoon Goreng and Murtabak. We always tapau something to take home! To avoid long queues, we recommend avoiding peak periods of 1pm for lunch and 7pm for dinner.<\/p>\n

Noodle Oodle<\/a><\/strong>
\n 106 Queensway, London, W2 3RR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Noodle

Nearest tube: Bayswater, and a short walk from Queensway. Noodle Oodle is a big hit because of their La Mian. Even Gordon Ramsay learnt how to make La Mian here. You can have La Mian dry or noodle soup. A big favourite here is their juicy, succulent roast duck as well; it is very good value. It is rare for a Chinese restaurant in London to be halal, so you will see many\u00a0Muslim friends coming here to enjoy some tasty Chinese dishes. SUKA does our La Mian masterclasses here – maybe you can join in one day.<\/p>\n

\"Makan\"

Nearest tube: Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove. This longstanding Malaysian cafe is family-run and has successfully expanded over the years – starting with just a takeaway-looking counter back in the day, and now spread over two shopfronts with ample seating. They do Nasi Padang with a very sedap selection which includes Kari Kambing (Lamb Curry), Sambal Terung (Aubergine Sambal), Fried Tilapia and many more. Their Mee Goreng and Teh Tarik\u00a0is also outstanding.<\/p>\n

Singapore Garden
\n<\/a>83 Fairfax Road, London NW6 4DY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Singapore
Image credit: Singapore Garden. Chilli Crab!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nearest tube: \u00a0Swiss Cottage tube or South Hampstead Rail. Last but not least, the legendary Singapore Garden. It has been around for an astounding 35 years and counting. A more ‘atas’ choice compared to the other venues referenced earlier. If it’s been around for this long, that means they must have a secret. And that secret, is amazing Singaporean food!<\/p>\n
