🍴 Kopitiam: A Malaysian Gem in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter 🍜（2）

✅ Sambal Kangkong (£12) 🌶️ Water spinach tossed in fiery sambal. Addictive, lip-tingling spice with a hint of sweetness. Ask for mild heat if you’re a wimp. 😉 ✅ Gan Xiang Squid (£15) 🦑 Bold, aromatic squid stir-fried with okra in a savory-spicy sauce. Generous portions—enough to share or hoard for leftovers. (Pro tip: The “rice bowl” version is cheaper and just as tasty!) 🍹 Fresh Orange Juice (£4) 🍊 Rare in the UK: Actual fresh-squeezed OJ, not syrup! Bright, pulpy, and a steal at £4. 💣 Portion Warning: My solo feast could’ve fed two. 😅 Stick to 2-3 dishes per person unless you’re a competitive eater. 🌿 Vibe Check: The Jewellery Quarter setting adds gritty charm—exposed brick walls, retro Malaysian posters, and the clatter of pans from the open kitchen. It’s not fancy, but that’s the point. 🛠️ 🌟 Final Verdict: Ignore the grumpy front-of-house; the food here is a love letter to Malaysian hawker culture. 💌 Whether you’re a homesick expat or a curry-loving Brit, this is worth the train ride from London. Just… maybe don’t call ahead. 😉 #BirminghamFoodie #MalaysianEats #HiddenGem 🌶️💛
