Bayswater, Malaysian Restaurant Guide

“Don’t be put off by the venue!” – a very basic pitstop inside Queensway Market (itself, a bright, tacky, rambling mass of stalls on this touristy street, between the two tube stops). Run by Normah Abd Hamid, who “can usually be found in the cramped kitchen cooking your meal with love – her very special ingredient! – and the Malaysian food at this tiny cafe is very good indeed”.

“Great Malaysian cooking at very low prices” has won a fair following for Med Pang and Koi Lee’s street-food operation in the ground-floor restaurant of a hotel just off Queensway. “Although not a meat-free restaurant, there is an extensive veggie selection of Malaysian street food”, plus “very good satay and roti chennai, good laksa” all “clean-tasting”. “It can get very busy and a little chaotic (part of its charm?)”.
