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!

Situated within the Copthorne hotel this is a little place that offers something to eat if you…read morefancy trying something different. I'll be honest, I'd never heard of Singaporean food until I stumbled across this unique little brasserie. I've since learnt that Singaporean food is inspired from cultures all over the world. The food on offer predominantly consists of a selection of Malaysian, Japanese and Chinese delicacies. I went for the express lunch which gives you 2 courses for only £5.99. The management team have a guarantee in place that if your food is not ready within 30 minutes you get it for free. I was ready to count the seconds hoping it would be a couple of seconds past but luckily for them, they served it ready to go in 15 minutes. I went for the chicken soup to start followed by the beef with ginger & spring onion which kept me full all afternoon. The food was OK but I would have preferred it to have a little more taste as it was rather bland.

I wasn't sure what to think of this place after reading rennie w.'s review! I was wandering back…read moreand forth: from the bluu bar, mechu, mcdonald's, nando's, and all the other restaurants in and near paradise forum. I finally decided to come here to be sort of "wild" and try Singaporian food. Not really sure what Singaporian is since I can't ever say I've visited, but now I have! very much similar to Chinese food, but ... not sure what the differences are. I'm Korean.... =P ** So, as I showed in the picture, I ordered the Penang char kway teow (spicy). WHAT, you ask? Yeah, that's why I made sure to take a picture! Don't ask me! PENANG CHAR KWAY TEOW. I'm not even sure how to quite say it, and the gentleman had a soft-spoken voice, so I couldn't quite figure it out. PENANG CHAR KWAY TEOW - 7.95 GBP It's flat rice noodles stir fried with the Chinese pork sausage (which I was not a fan of!) and prawns, crunchy bean sprouts, and fish cakes. I'm not sure where the fish cakes were ... maybe I confused them with what appeared to be eggs, though? I thought I saw some yellow cooked eggs, which I was quite happy about, but yeah! the dish was pretty tasty. While it had a nice shine, it wasn't overly greasy. The portion size was decent for 7.95 GBP. **I straight up do not like the Chinese pork sausage. I have no judgment on the Chinese pork sausage that was used here. Generally, I think the Chinese pork sausage has a very strong "sausagy" type flavor, which (personally) makes me want to gag... so, it had nothing to do with this restaurant --- just not a fan! and I learned that I'm still not a fan of it. The SERVICE was a little slow at first. It took my server several minutes to get to me, but nothing outrageously unreasonable. It was fine. My server was helpful... The DECOR is quite nice. A modernized "singaporian" (okay, maybe not singaporian since I'm not sure what that would look like!!) but a lot of nice RED decor. The chairs in the restaurant are a nice leather-like seat with firm padding. The restaurant and bar is quite spacious! The BAR seemed to be a little more happening than the restaurant area. The bar was somewhat crowded when I first arrived at 19:00. However, when I left at 20:00, there were people standing around, sitting at the bar and all the other bar seating/tables. There were a lot more people that followed me. Probably about 8 parties or so came to the restaurant after I did. There were plenty of tables ... so, I don't think seating will be a problem. I hope you take a chance and visit this place. Three stars doesn't mean it was horrible, I would probably give it more of a 3.5 out of 5. I would want to go back a couple more times before I give it 4 stars!! Happy eating!

(Its worth just mentioning that if you are a vegetarian, you have some options such as the mock chicken. I have had mock chicken before - both from Nasi Lemak and other places - and its pretty hard to tell the difference - the taste and also the texture). I recommend checking out Nasi Lemak!

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.

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!
