KOPITIAM

Kopitiam is the new Malaysian darling in Canary Wharf. Their satay chicken is tender and swimming in a peanut sauce that's so good it should come with a life preserver. The nasi kerabu dishes are crowd-pleasers, with the fried chicken being crispy enough to elicit 'oohs' and 'aahs' from your table. Staff like Simon and Stanley keep things friendly and efficient, so you won't have to wait long before your taste buds are dancing.

If you fancy a taste of Malaysia without the airfare, this place does the trick. The décor is pretty snazzy too, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a local eatery back home. Friendly faces, good vibes, and food that makes you think, 'Ah, this is what I need.' What’s not to love? Just don't ask for something too spicy unless you're prepared to back it up.
