Being from Singapore, I miss my rendang, mee goreng, laksas and what not. When I first found out La Orient touted South East Asian food, all I could think of is - How could that be good?! I mean, my last review about Banana Tree was begrudgingly vitriolic enough. Let alone a place out in the sticks. Well, I then said to myself, there's no way this could be bad, I mean, how could they still operate when loads of folks now travel to South East Asia on a regular basis. Boy was I wrong. Service here redeems itself from a 1* review. The 'Malaysian' food however, is just not up to scratch at all. It invites me to gently (but oh so only gently) nudge Banana Tree to open up a place in Surrey (Gosh I feel dirty for even saying that). Anyway, we order the Kway Pie Tie as a starter, rendang, mee goreng, and sambal prawns for mains. The first somewhat encouraging sign is that they have plate warmers. Asians love their food piping hot, so I am all about that. However, when the kway pie tie comes, I'm immediately disappointed. It's lukewarm inside (probably from being frozen and reheated) and there's a gargantuan faux crabstick on one of them. Clearly this is not going to end well. My dining partner tries to convince me that I should withhold judgment until the rest of the food comes. I do. And then very quickly I don't. This IS NOT Malaysian food folks. I should have just gone for the regular Chinese menu. The Mee Goreng is a sorry substitute, egg noodles with no spice, and just beef and tomatoes. I mean, that's what it says, but someone must have not taught the chef what it really tastes like. The rendang looked more like a curry - Too much coconut, not enough depth of flavor coming from different types of spices. The only somewhat redeeming dish was the sambal prawns. But very very diluted in flavor, as if they weren't prepared to lather on the stinkiness of belachan or that they were afraid to overwhelm the genteel Surrey palate. Wasted calories this evening, now I really just wanna go for a run to totally have no remnants left of last night's dinner. Next time, I do wanna see if this place redeems itself with the Chinese food that doesn't purport to be South East Asian.

If you are looking for a decent place to eat in the area, this will be it. I have to say that I did get take out from here but my brother assures me that the restaurant itself is wonderful, with fantastic helpful staff. Well, you can't really ask for more than that! It's about £5 a dish with a huge selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from. We ordered in food for my dad's 60th birthday, my brothers wife being a little too pregnant to cook. With the majority of my family being vegetarian this can be an issue, but not for Tin Tin's. The selection was really half the menu, an array of choices. The only downside was that they didn't have a set veggie menu, but that worked out alright as we just ordered a selection and shared. Yummy!

Have you ever been for a posh Chinese? The two words aren't usually synonymous - unfortunately,…read moregoing for a Chinese now involves a trip down a shop that resembles a kebab shop, only with noodles instead. The Good Earth is an old school restaurant - beautifully designed inside, with plenty of large round tables, and my favourite, those round turning slabs on top of the tables which means that that I, err, I mean everyone, can try some of each others dishes. There is a bar to one side where dressed up ladies and gentlemen of Esher discuss property prices and where they are skiing this year (I presume). Inside the main restaurant, I would advise ordering as much as you could possibly fit. The portions are are good size, but the food is considerably more expensive then in your average Chinese, but the price difference is worth it. You will recognise a lot of the dishes, it's just they are done with more flavour and spice than other places (but with no MSG). Look out for plenty of fish dishes that you wouldn't normally find, such as sea bass, Dover sole and monkfish. I wouldn't go out of your way to make room for dessert, as with most Chinese restaurants, the puddings are not a high point. Perhaps have another drink at the bar to finish your meal. Have one for me!
