Read moreHaving seen 4.9 stars from 100+ reviews on here, I had such high expectations and yet My Wok Box incredibly exceeded them. Don't get fooled by their humble exteriors. They have a couple of seatings outside, which will be perfect for the upcoming hot season, and have a few more tables inside where I felt as if I was eating at a cozy loving family dinner table. I was there for the very first time but the lady chef instantly gave me a welcoming smile and hi, while the Malaysian gentleman showed us the table inside with such hospitality that I felt at home immediately.
The nasi lemak I ordered after being torn between it and the laska was bursting with flavours and all the condiments accompanying it including small dried fish, peanuts and a boiled egg beautifully complemented the dish. I loved how they took my request for "extra spicy" earnestly and I thoroughly enjoyed the addictive exotic taste of the food.
They came checking attentively if everything was okay and they were also super friendly to all the takeaway customers and delivery drivers. We were offered a salmon curry and rice on the house and it was just so flavourful and delicious that I found myself extremely lucky to have found this little hidden gem of a place.
After living in London, Australia, Singapore and Canada for the past ten years, I can confidently say their food is by far the most authentic and tastiest at amazingly reasonable prices I have ever come across outside South East Asia. On top of that, their customer service couldn't be more pleasant. I can't wait to return and try everything...
Read moreDiscovered this little gem in KIlburn, London. Just outside KIlburn station, turn left from the station entrance. Chef Mo and his sweet wife run this mom n pop place, serving delicious stir fries, and a many varied selection of items on the eclectic menu. Chef Mo is from Sabah, Malaysia and his wife from Johor, Malaysia. The nasi lemak with beef rendang is delicious, the beef is slow cooked tender, amply spiced and coconut rice is aromatic. The little sambal served with nasi lemak is mild but very flavourful and a joy to accompany every mouthful of the nasi! I also had the char kway teow which had plenty of hot-wok aroma (wok hei) that is a flavour which can only be produced by the high-heat flash frying typical of far eastern wok stir frying. Chef Mo's wife gave me a complimentary taste of their chicken curry puff and Malaysian-style banana fritter - both deliciously tasty and very authentically Malaysian. I am a Malaysian and a fussy eater so I really appreciated enjoying the food here as it brought back feelings of the home country, which I have not been able to visit for 18 months during travel restrictions of the pandemic. I am so lucky to enjoy this treat yesterday and to feel the warm Malaysian hearts of Chef Mo and his wife are a bonus. Definitely bring friends to enjoy as there are 4-5 tables right outside this cafe on the wide...
