Hainanese Chicken Rice, rice cooked in chicken stock, slow-cooked chicken, bean sprout, coriander, chicken soup, ginger and garlic chilli sauce (£7.90): On par with C&R’s, which is to say enjoyable enough but quite a distance from the ones we had in Singapore years ago.Chicken Satay, spicy peanut sauce, cucumber, onion, rice cake (£6.90): The inevitable chicken satay for the boys they scarfed them down.Sotong Kangkong, cuttlefish, water morning glory, peanut, sesame, shrimp paste (£6.90): A simple dish of morning glory/water spinach topped with cuttlefish doused with a funky dressing of shrimp paste and crushed peanuts.The menu is very similar to that at C&R, though it adds fairly representative pictures of every dish.
Rasa sayang full#
We got there at about 12.20 on a Sunday and they weren’t full by the time we left at about 1.45, however, they were slammed. Anyway, it’s a smaller space than C&R and even more utilitarian in aesthetic-or at least it was before their recent renovations (if you’ve been since please let me know what the place looks like now). It is also apparently Chinatown’s only halal restaurant-which may or may not mean that the restaurant’s owners are Malaysian Muslims. Where C&R are located in the narrow alley of Rupert Court, Rasa Sayang are on Macclesfield St. London’s Chinatown isn’t very big and it’s not very far from C&R to Rasa Sayang. Alas, when we tried to go back in early June, right before we left for Scotland, we found that they were closed till the middle of the month for renovations. I stopped in separately on another occasion with a group but did not have my camera with me and my phone’s battery was dead. Here now is an account of a meal we ate there in mid-May with old friends who live in the Los Angeles area but who we hadn’t seen in more than a decade. This was a shame as we really liked our meal there in fact, we preferred their versions of a number of things that we ate at both places. As a result we didn’t make it to Rasa Sayang-the other Malaysian place likely to be recommended to you by Londoners if you ask-until much later. Because we came to C&R so early during our stay, and liked it so much, we sort of got stuck into it for our Malaysian cravings. I have already posted a write-up of the number of meals we ate at C&R, a Malaysian restaurant in London’s Chinatown.
