(5 Wartherstraße , Ecke Denningenstraße in Munich, Germany)

Champor Restaurant is reputed to be one of the best Asians dining experience in Munich (sometimes it...s wise to believe what you read in the papers). What’s certain is that it’s the Bavarian capital’s very first Malaysian restaurant. This colourful, sitting-room style restaurant is hot news, and pretty much always full at weekend. The food is excellent – fresh and spicy but not over powering, and definitely not Germanised. No doubt, the curry powders’ providence is of significance – they’re imported from Penang. From rendang curry to spicy chilli prawns, each dish is unique and no two sauces taste the same. And no MSG is used (the owner’s allergic). In summer, the crowd spills outside onto Champor’s cosy courtyard. If you’re in town as a visitor, you might like to know that Champor Restaurant is a short cab ride away from the Englischer Garten or English Garden, a glorious 18thcentury park bigger than New York’s Central Park, stretching verdantly from the city centre to its northeastern limits. br>Please note that this restaurant requires credit card details for bookings of 10 or more diners.
