"It was at this Paddington spot (from the people behind Sudu) that we cheated on beef rendang. Because the sambal tumis udang petai—a stir-fried prawn and petai dish—is equal parts spicy, creamy, and addictive. And that’s not all that’s great about this moody Malaysian restaurant. The menu is filled with comforting classics done extremely well, in a cosy and intimate two-floor space. The street level dining room is ideal for small groups, while the basement is where to bring a date or a big group, tucked away in their mini cave." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
