Although owner-chef, Normah, is from Malaysia’s southernmost state of Johore (bordering Singapore), her cooking embraced the whole range of Malay food which she felt would appeal to the small Malay diaspora in London, plus other customers who wanted a “taste of Malaysian cooking”.
She did not offer any typical Johore dishes like “kacang phool” or “laksa Johore”, like these ones I had in D’Timer Cafe, Kuala Lumpur , recently. Hopefully, one day, Rosmah would deign to offer some authentic Malay eats from her home state.
