(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. A credit card is required to reserve a table, if there is availability - this is simply to secure your booking, absolutely no money will be charged to the card except in the case of late cancellations. A fee of 30€ per person will be charged for a cancellation within 24 hours (48 hrs during the winter season) or for a no show. a Opening hours: Mon - Fri 11:30am - 2:30pm & 6pm - 11pmSat 6pm - MidnightClosed Sun Run by Kiren Alt, a Malaysian from Penang [moreless]

For fun and reasonably priced Malaysian meals in the heart of London's West End, you can't go past J...om Makan which is nestled next to the National Portrait Gallery in Pall Mall East. The buzzy venue has a cafeteria-style atmosphere with an open plan kitchen, red lamps and informal furniture, and the restaurant is always filled with a pre-theatre, post-sightseeing crowd of tourists and locals.
