Malaysian x Hong Kong flavours in the heart of London 🇲🇾🇭🇰✨

We were kindly invited to @oldtown97sk and had such a lovely time trying their Malaysian x Hong Kong-inspired dishes. If you’re a fan of comforting Malaysian flavours with a Hong Kong twist. This is definitely one to add to your foodie list!

What we tried:
• Wagyu Beef Claypot Rice
• Truffle Mushroom Scrambled Egg Rice
• Signature Curry Laksa
• Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings
• Pistachio Toast
• HK Iced Milk Tea
• Iced Kumquat Lemon

🍽️ halal (beef,chicken) /veg options available

Their signature Wagyu Beef Claypot Rice was one of my favorites. It was so comforting and packed with rich, savoury flavours. The Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings were so so good! 😍

Definitely I had to try their famous pistachio toast! It was so so delicious, I think I have never had anything before. So so yum! 😋💕

I really enjoyed the Signature Curry Laksa too. It was fragrant, rich and warming. The Truffle Mushroom Scrambled Egg Rice was creamy, comforting and a nice change from the usual rice dishes.

For drinks, the HK Iced Milk Tea is a classic must-order, but the Iced Kumquat Lemon was definitely the standout for me! 🍋 everyone was ordering it, and I can totally see why. It was refreshing, tangy and perfect alongside the food.

The restaurant has a cosy, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were really friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, it was such a lovely dining experience and a great spot for Malaysian x Hong Kong flavours.

Thank you @oldtown97sk for having us! 🤍

You, me & butterscotch beer — Edinburgh had us under a spell 🪄🍺🏰✨ First time trying butterscotch beer, and it was sooo good! Highly recommend if you visit Edinburgh 🤎

It’s non alcoholic and tastes like a dessert more than drink. It so unique to try when you visit Edinburgh 💯✨

A little gem in Notting Hill 🦞✨ Lobster lovers this one for you! 💕

We had the loveliest weekend lunch at @lushandhush.london in Notting Hill and their “Half Becomes Whole” offer is such a good one! 🥂🦞

Order any cocktail, wine or Champagne & your Half Lobster gets upgraded to a Whole Lobster! 😍

The classic lobster linguine was SO good, fresh, succulent and absolutely delicious! We got to see the lobster live and fresh right in front of us before it was prepared, which made the whole experience even more special. We also tried their lobster roll, which was incredible and packed with that gorgeous, fresh lobster flavour. Definitely a highlight! 😍🦞✨

And the wagyu, honestly, SO soft and tender! 🥹🥩 Every bite was delicious, especially the wagyu skewers and mini sando.

Such a cosy, intimate spot, with live music in the evenings too. 🥰 And the staff were genuinely so lovely and caring. Definitely one I’ll be coming back to! ❤️✨

The best affordable dumplings in London 🥟🥢

Everything is handmade fresh right in front of you. It’s really so fun to watch the whole process from wrapping to steaming. Dumplings were so fresh and SO flavorful. So juicy, saucy and has the perfect flavor!!

I really enjoyed my visit here! 🥟✨ The beef buns, Prawn, chives & egg dumplings in hot & sour soup, and potstickers were definitely my favorites, so fresh and tasty! We also tried a few sides which were absolutely delicious! although the seaweed was already sold out, which says a lot about how popular this place is!! Their oil splashed noodles is a must have! 🔥
