Winter has definitely arrived and with it, our collective dream to decamp to sunnier places. But for us poor Londoners who aren’t travelling to warmer climates, there might be a culinary escape from the cold in the form of Suka at Sanderson. The restaurant has just launched a “pop up” street-food menu that aims to capture the energy and flavours of the Malay food scene, with plate sharing, spices aplenty and an exotic twist on the West End dining experience…
Granted, the Sanderson restaurant, with its minimal India Mahdavi-designed decor and buzzing sound system, might not exactly be reminiscent of the crowded streets of Kuala Lumpur- but its new menu definitely is. Available for a limited time only, the new concept, created by contributing Malaysian Chef Ahmad Shuib, aims to provide a culinary journey through Malaysian streets, with lots of spices and dishes to share between friends (or with a date).
Options include dishes such as the kapitan kambing, a Portuguese influenced spicy lamb with coconut curry and baby potatoes, the itik wonton soup, a Chinese influenced soup of duck dumplings, shitake mushrooms, spring onions and baby bokchoy, traditional laksas and some Malaysian inspired desserts such as the pineapple carpaccio and basil sorbet. Added bonus: it is great value for money is such a swish location, with dishes ranging from £8 to £15. Nice…
Suka at Sanderson: 50 Berners Street W1 (Oxford Circus)
