Traditional, no-frills restaurant for spicy halal Malaysian dishes cooked in a wok, Chinese-style.
"Rasa Sayang is delivering its Singaporean and Malaysian food from Chinatown. You can get wantons, laksa, and sambal prawns here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Beef Rendang Unlike most of the other dishes on this list, beef rendang is a dry curry. But what it lacks in sauce, it makes up for in slow-cooked beef that’s so unbelievably tender, there’s a strong argument for it to be classified as a liquid. At Rasa Sayang, a bustling Malaysian spot in Chinatown, you’ll find the kind of wholesome, nutty beef rendang you’ll crave at least once a month. The place is usually packed out, so make sure you book a table. Yes, even on a rainy Tuesday." - rianne shlebak, jake missing
"Whoever you choose to bring to this bustling spot in Chinatown—a group of friends for a catch-up or yourself at lunchtime—you’ll leave full and satisfied. The menu of Malaysian and Singaporean classics has something for everyone. It serves the kind of wholesome, nutty beef rendang you’ll crave as soon as it’s finished. There's buttery roti canai with a spicy chicken curry, and its vegetarian version of char kway teow is one of the best in town. A meal here is also excellent-value—£30 can take you a very long way, especially if you come with a small group and share." - rianne shlebak
"On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays in October, this Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown is offering 50% (up to £10) off food and soft drinks." - rianne shlebak
"The char kway teow (smoky stir-fried flat noodles with pork and prawns) at Malaysian spot Rasa Sayang is a must-order. Everything else on the menu (like the beef rendang) is good as well. Whoever you choose to bring to this bustling spot—a group of friends for a catch-up or just yourself at lunchtime—they'll leave full and satisfied. The ground floor usually has some spots saved for walk-ins and the comfy booths are an ideal place to camp out for a couple of hours. But if you like being in the thick of it, then the smaller buzzy downstairs dining room is probably for you. " - Team Infatuation
