C&R Café
When we're in the mood for a bit of Asian, we know of no better place than this hole-in-the-wall serving fairly authentic Singapore noodles, laksa (soup noodles with seafood) and gado-gado (salad with peanut sauce). For those who answer to a higher authority, it's halal. There's a larger Westbourne Grove branch.

Awana
London’s only real fine-dining Malay restaurant, Awana has all our favourite dishes – beef rendang, laksa (coconut broth with prawns and rice noodles), murtabak (pancake with savoury fillings), ikan bakar (grilled butterfish wrapped in banana leaves with herbs and baked) in a stylish and minimalist ‘New Asian’ dining room. The uninitiated may want to consider the Malaysian Journey sampling menu at £45 (£40 for the vegetarian version). The Satay Bar serves delicious skewers of chicken, beef, lamb and prawns (£7.50 to £9.50) accompanied by the restaurant’s own spicy peanut sauce. We’ll be back.

Nyonya
One day in the not-too-distant future the world will discover nyonya (or peranakan) cuisine as prepared and enjoyed by the so-called Straits Chinese of Malaysia and it will be bigger than Thai and sushi combined. Neither Malay nor Chinese but both, nyonya highlights include laksa (soup noodles with seafood), Penang char kway teow noodles, bean sprouts with salt fish and fiery sambal dipping sauce.
The kuih desserts are the luridly coloured coconut and jelly concoctions.

Satay House
Authentic Malaysian cuisine, including some dishes that will blow your head off, have been served here for nearly 40 years. Book ahead for an upstairs table, although the communal tables in the basement can be fun. Sale Pl is one block along Sussex Gardens from Edgware Rd.
