  I'm not going home just yet.

  I’ve been described as a bitter and twisted Malaysian for my review of JOM Makan and for that reason I should go back to KL instead. Well what can I say, just maybe not quite yet. The discovery of Makan will only go on further to preserve my status as an honorary Londoner.
  
  Makan is ‘eat’ in Malay and this place fully justifies the name with its authentic cooking and value. During lunch hour this place can be chaotic, if you’re in a hurry go for the excellent rice combination dish of Nasi Campur, whereby you can choose from the alluring display of ready cooked dishes to go with the rice. The cook to order dishes that include the Malaysian national dish of Nasi Lemak and my favourite Bee Hoon Goreng (Fried Vermicelli) were equally good. You can quite easily get away with £7.00 a head to include a soft drink. As this place is also a café, street snacks are also offered to go with your impromptu cuppa.
  
  This is homecoming material for yours truly. I love London and I also love Makan, truly lah.

  After a hard morning's shopping this is the perfect combination of a nice place to have some tea, watch the world go by and eat delicious food. Two chicken curry puffs for £1 and samosas for £1.50 as I remember) and that will fill you up. Should you need more thereare many many options of curry's and snacks including sweet and savour. The banana buttons are particularly nice. This malaysian cafe is definitely worth a visit if you're in the market whether for lunch or just a short break. There isn't much seating but people are usually friendly and share tables. The tea comes in english breakfast as well as fruit teas and there is fresh orange juice too. Great, quirky place to eat/ relax.

  While it might not be the most fantastic food you've ever eaten, it deserves a 4 star rating because it cannot be beat when it comes to handing your cash over.
  
  Unbelievably cheap, the food is really tasty and the staff are lovely. An excellent place to visit when you're in Portobello Road and you don't want to have to pay a small fortune to have something to eat.
