I'm going to let you all in on a massive secret that only the people of Kings Heath probably know…read moreabout.... Blue Ginger is AMAZING! I have found finding a genuine Singaporean/Malay restaurant extremely difficult in Birmingham until I found Blue Ginger. The first thing that strikes you about Blue Ginger, located just off the Kings Heath High Street, it's it size. O.K, it's not the biggest place and I would strongly recommend that you must book a table before visiting, but to me adds to the highly personal nature of your experience at the restaurant. Staff are so knowledgeable and friendly that you feel like you are best mates with them. On the subject of the staff, the day I visited, I surprised my friend as it was her birthday. I had spoken to the waitress working there that night on the phone previously, and we organised a special chocolate brownie with candles in, and we both serenaded my mate with "Happy Birthday" to her joy and embarrassment! The plate even had a heart and smiley face made of Roulade! For the starter, I would urge you to try the Sweet Potato Fries, These are not normal Fries friends, but wrapped in rice paper and deep fried with a tinge of Ginger. You get 4 pieces which we shared. They sound mad, but need to be tasted to believed. I must warn you, the portions are HUGE! You might struggle to finish the main on it's own even without steamed Jasmine rice. And I'm not ashamed to admit I had to take half my meal home and I never take my food home! I had the Chilli Tofu Stir fry which was quite fiery but the waitress said that the spice level can be adjusted. It was jam packed full of delicious vegetables and tofu. The Pineapple worked very well with the Chilli. My friend had the Mushroom and Aubergine curry, which she told me she has every time she has been to Blue Ginger. It's that good! I just managed to squeeze a vegan sticky rice pudding which was made with coconut cream, and unlike any desert I have had before. Although there is lots of veggie/vegan food on the menu already, on Monday nights, they have a fully Vegan menu which I am looking forward to trying soon. I wish I had my phone to take some pictures, but even more reason for you to go visit!

After moving to the area we were told about this place, after all the good reviews, we decided to…read moretry it, maybe the problem was that we ordered take away... But the food was bland and nothing that I couldn't have cooked at home for myself and boyfriend. We haven't been back, but reading everyone's reviews am tempted to go back but for a sit in meal. It's always packed when we walk past in the evenings.

But they don't seem to understand vegetarians or how to handle food allergies, they don't clean the Wok's properly so if a meat dish has just been cooked the wok is given a quick rinse then the next lot of food is put in, also the funnel they use to pour the food from the wok into the cartons is never washed properly just given a quick wipe with a tissue between dishes. Beware your stomach if you're any of the above!!!

The Nasi Lemak (nasi uduk in Indonesian) which I used to eat for breakfast every day in KL was a poor version of the original. The coconut rice was just plain rice and the rest of the items on the dish were incredibly insipid and uninspiring. The chicken curry was oily as hell and the chicken stank. It was just all really disgustingly awful and not Malaysian. I would never go back again and will instead enjoy my partners lovely fresh cooking made with love (which Malaysian Delight is definitely not!)

One of the best Malaysian places in town smack bang in the middle of Chinatown. These guys have…read morebeen around a long time and have stamped their ground on what they do best which are traditional and authentic Malaysian dishes. These guys are popular not only for their Malaysian offerings but they are also one of the few places that open till quite late in town alongside with Hou Mei. The menu is simple and has an offering of Malaysian dishes such as curry laksas, Assam laksas and Golden Chicken. For me the best dish is the Golden Sands Soft Shell Crab, the salted egg yolk grinded and fried onto the crab which simply creates an irresistible flavour you can't have enough of, a must try for the seafood lovers. I also recommend the Curry Laksa or the Assam Laksa, but beware these are not the faint hearted and do really contain a kick of spice and flavour! For drinks, do not hesitate to try the Malaysian coffee but most of the all the teh tarik is my favourite drink, a silky smooth tea that gives off the best texture a tea could bring. A regular backup and a safe card in my book!

Walking around 18:30 in Birmingham looking for a place to eat is no easy task, as everything in…read morethis city closes at ridiculously early hours. So this is how I found The Blue Piano... because it was the only restaurant open. From the outside, it doesn't look like a restaurant, but more like a small office or hotel. The whole entrance and first look of it was quite intimidating because it looked like a place I could not afford. But surprisingly as I scanned the menu, the prices were reasonable. The waiter was helpful and attentive. The cuisine is Southeast Asian. I ordered the jackfruit and rambutan red curry and chicken ho fun. Both dishes were delicious and well seasoned. I have no complains during my experience and time here. Every factor from the list I consider important when eating in a restaurant (food, service, price, location, décor, and other random factors depending on how I feel on my day) was checked. This is the perfect restaurant to have dinner whenever you want to impress friends or that special someone, or you just want to feel posh even though you aren't. Highly recommended.

The venue itself is a little like being in someones house and the welcome you get in similar. So friendly! I asked for a Bloody Mary and despite it not being on the menu was made it no questions asked :) After a drink we decided to share one of the two sharing platters. It consisted of some sort of savory cake, top hats and chicken satays. Everything was honestly amazing....fresh and generally spot on. The star for me was the satay sauce...it was literally perfect. Just the right amount of spice! I am 100% going back for a full meal here asap so expect a full review. This is a great find and somewhere I will definitely be taking friends to.

The Malaysian Restaurant is a sister restaurant to the Peking Restaurant on the opposite side of…read morethe road. The restaurant is in a relatively old building in the High Street, and there are some framed pottery and descriptions on the wall inside the restaurant. The restaurant itself is larger than it looks and extends back into the building. The food is Malaysian (duh!) which is like Chinese but with spicier influences similar to Thai or Indonesian. We had a mixed starter which comprised of prawn toast, vegetable spring roll, samosa, chicken satay and some other morsels: it was all nice and tasty. We followed this with Rendang Kam Bing an aromatic slow-cooked lamb with coconut lemon grass and chilli dish; Ayam Goreng Sambal deep fried chicken with a fragrant shrimp and chilli paste; their version of Singapore noodles; Mee Goreng Ayam rice vermicelli pan fried with chicken and egg. All the dishes were tasty, with quite a lot of thinly sliced chillies as garnish, but the highlight was the lamb it was very tasty and the meat was falling apart. We followed this with a couple of authentic Malaysian speciality desserts, they were both nice, but one would have been enough between the two of us. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food tasty and interesting: recommended. Parking is on-street.
