Authentic yummy Malaysian hawker food!
Malaysia Kopi Tiam has opened and shut down in several different locations over the years, but I'm glad to say it has now reopened on Charing Cross Road and is dishing up amazing authentic food up to the standards of critical Malaysians like myself! :)
Char Kway Teow, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng and handmade Hakka Mee are all gorgeous and come very highly recommended. I have also been told by friends that the Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee and Cantonese Style Hor Fun are good too, and from what I've seen on nearby tables they certainly look the part!
One thing I would say to avoid is the Prawn Mee, which is far too clear and bland (the manager actually agreed when I mentioned this to him, saying they are unable to get enough prawn shells to make the soup rich and thick enough!). Also the Curry Mee was not really to my personal taste (I prefer it more liquid and with steamed shredded chicken, not actual Curry Chicken portions).
At the moment desserts are limited (only ice kacang) but I've been told they will expand it in future. In any case I am happy enough that grass jelly ("cincau" or "leong fun" in Chinese) is on the drinks menu.
At about £5.50 per dish, it's definitely a place for cheap authentic robust Malaysian food to satisfy those cravings!
