Play Taste

Rasa Sayang

Diana, Chris, Steve and me went to Rasa Sayang for dinner to catch up a little a month into our industrial placement, so that was good fun but I think I’ll focus on the food for now. Rasa Sayang is on Macclesfield Street which is just off of Gerrard street which is the main street where all the other resaurants in chinatown are pretty much on, so it’s a pretty easy place to find. Chris ordered Hokkien Mee which the photo turned out fairly terrible due to low lighting, and Mr. blurry cam, I upped the lighting and contrast a little on the picture but I haven’t really bothered to do that much to it. Also award for messiest eater tonight.

Beef Rendang was Steves order along with a Tiger beer.

And my order would be pretty obvious for those people that know the food I eat. Also coincidently one of the most insane things ever to make yourself. If you want to make it yourself, http://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-penang-hokkien-mee-prawn-noodle/ , go take a look, it’s a little crazy. But since this is my order I’m somewhat more entitled to give an opinion on how good it is. It was pretty good actually, surprisingly so with a lovely prawny taste to it (which I would hope so for something with a damn prawn soup base). If I could complain about it it would be that it wasn’t spicy enough as you can see by the almost complete absence of chilli in the picture. I ordered a Teh Tarik to go along with it, which was actually pretty underwhelming, it didn’t have nearly as much flavour to it as it should have, but thats just my opinion so if you do go and order it let me know what you think.

Overall I can give this place a thumbs up if you feel like having some Malay food. All our orders combined came to about £32 although you should note that service charge is not included in that and is left to your discretion how much you want to leave.
