Pat, Ben and I headed to London Bridge to sample some Malaysian from the Georgetown restaurant tonight but the restaurant wasn’t exactly what I expected. It was very quiet, we were the only diners and only a couple more joined us by the time we left, so we had the full attention of staff including eagerly offering us repeat drink orders when they could see we were nearly done with our current ones. A bit annoying and presumptions but maybe in their eyes considered good service (on the side all the waiters were Indian so I’m wondering if the same held true for the kitchen!)

I’m not sure if we were given a different menu because we’d booked through a 50% toptable offer but the menu we received was quite brief – it gave four starters, four mains and four desserts. Didn’t really leave much room considering we’d all decided to share our food!

Starters: Prawn Tempura, Penang Curry and Indian Mee Gorent
Mains: Rendang Dagin, Roti Dan and Kari Ayam

Our food was pretty tasty though I would have objected to paying full price for the dishes. Seemed a bit pricey for what they were charging. I actually liked the fact that on our mains – three different curries – we all got very different garnishings. Ben got a very strange orange and kiwi fruit garnishing on his curry dish. The beef rendang was particularly tasty.

Overall I’m glad we had Malaysian tonight as I’m a big fan of it though I would have preferred more variety on the menu.
