- C&R Cafe in Chinatown - my go-to place for Malaysian-style chicken curry when I’m in London, is re-opening for dining-in business tomorrow.
I’m wondering if their previously furloughed staff who’d gone on to establish popular on-line/home delivery businesses catering to the Malaysian/Singaporean diaspora over the past year, like Nyonya Kakak, will actually go back to work there.
- TukDin - Flavours of Malaysia re-opens for business on Tue, 18 May.
Owner, Zainuddin Yahaya, 68, once ran the kitchen of Malaysia Hall Canteen on Bryanstone Square. Born in Kedah (a state in Northern Malaysia) but a British resident for more than 40 years, he opened his eponymously-named restaurant (“TukDin” in Malay translates to “Grandpa Din”) in 2009, offering ethnic-Malay cooking slightly tweaked to suit the British palate.
