MyMakan is bringing a taste of Malaysia to the suburbs.
The new restaurant has only just opened here in Leeds, and is the second MyMakan to open in the UK.
Promising a ‘culinary journey that takes you straight to the heart of Malaysia’, MyMakan prides itself on using fresh, quality ingredients to ensure that each bite is just as flavoursome as the next.
On the menu you’ll find a whole host of traditional crowdpleasers like Nasi Lemak and Satay, as well as more unusual, but nonetheless exciting combinations like Mee Goreng and Char Kuey Teow.
The menu spans from curries, noodles, satay and rice dishes aplenty, including a delicious-sounding Butter Prawns Rendang, a slow-cooked dish with thick coconut sauce, lemongrass, toasted coconut, aromatic spices and herbs.
Between meaty, veggie and vegan options and a fully halal menu, there’s really something for every palette and dietary preference too.
The savoury options are just as tempting as the sweet. For dessert, there’s a selection of traditional Malay options like Bubur Pulut Hitam, a black gluttonous rice pudding served with thick coconut milk and vanilla ice cream; Sagu Gula Melaka, Sago pearls cakes and the ABC, a dessert made up of shaved ice, syrups and cream paired with creamed corn, ice cream and a fruit medley.
The restaurant also has a branch in Norwich, as well as two restaurants in the Middle East, but it is reported that they plan to bring more to the north and other UK cities in the future.
The Saudi Arabian restaurant group has taken over the former space of Kuala Lumpur, which closed last year. MyMakan translates to ‘a place to eat’, and with over 40 dishes for diners to choose from, the Town Street opening certainly does promise to be a culinary feast for locals.
