I had the Malay chicken curry, lots of breast meat. Enough to take home. It comes which potato in it like a stew.
(Curry means stew.)\
Laksa
My husband had SIngapore style laksa. It had all the right things. The bean sprouts are taugeh. It was very good. Udang prawns. Sotong which is squid.
Rice cakes, kek being caake. Nase is rice.
I ended with sago pudding. Little pearls. Malay sago pudding.
Toilets
The bround floor toilets are outside in the corridor. It's a bit of a shock to find the door is locked. (Especially if you left going until the last minute) Rush back and ask.
No need for a phyical metal clockwide key, not any numbers to return.
I suppose the extra security is because of being near a station. The ladies was large and pleasant enough pleasant enough.
There's a card they give you to wave over the lock.
We saw a group of American and Asian boys and girls having the set tea, in three tier stands, starting at around 2 pm just before we left.
We asked the ehlpful manager, Chris, whether that was usual. He assured us that the Asians would happily order an English style set tea at that hour. He said, they eat all day any time, starting with breakfast, moving on to lunch then tea, and fianlly dinner.
Different groups, or the same poeple.
Sometimes the same people.
We moved to have our coffee in the lounge bar, for a change of scene. and to sample it, in case we want to recommend the place for lunch to a group of former Asian-based retured expats.
The Bar
The bar-lounge has amusing decor, lots to look at.
At reception in the hall, I enquired about room prices, which struck me as quite steep. These are centre of London prices. I asked whether prices were cheper or dearer through the booking.com website.
