KiaSu

The unofficial Singapore word or rather slang "KiaSu" has finally got its ground in the bustling London especially in the highly competitive restaurant domain. It must have not come easy but KiaSu is now the most striking and most talked about restaurant at Queensway, Bayswater district by the Malaysian or South East Asian community in London. Although the name is originated from Singapore, but the restaurant is actually serving typically classic Malaysian dishes. We visited this place twice just over one weekend.

The first dining experience was fantastic, the food was excellence and in fact the best so far compare to other Malaysian restaurants in the city. The otak-otak, satay, Nasi Lemak and my Char Kwai Tiao were just finger licking good!

We returned for the second time where Johannes ordered Bak Kut Teh and Hainanese Chicken Rice while I ordered Roti Phrata and Mee Siam. The Bak Kut Teh is not bad but of the lighter side, the Roti and Mee Siam was excellent and as good as it can be. However, the chicken rice completely put us off. They would have told us that the dish is not available than substitute it with the Hong Kong style steamed chicken as if we don't know the look and the taste of real Hainanese Chicken rice. This dish is complete disaster despite of all the highlight and satisfaction, I just hope that KiaSu will not posses the spirit of KiaSu (fear to lose) but be honest to its returning customers.
