HOT: Satay House, 13 Sale Place, Paddington W2 1PX

This local Malaysian restaurant had been on my go-to list for a while, as Time Out had said that it was full of Malaysians, so the food must be good. I was expecting a sticky-tablecloth kind of place but was pleasantly surprised by a two-storey terrace house with a bright and modern interior. The food was fantastic and good value, and I recommend the whole mackerel with tamarind sauce, fresh gado gado and the rose syrup with grass jelly drink. Book ahead though, as it's small and very busy.
