Authentic Malaysian Street Food vendor Syiok-Lah based in Cutlery Works, Kelham Island, were recently nominees in the Chopstick Awards 2024 ‘BEST STREET FOOD AWARD” and are popular for their absolutely top comfort food.

If I could show you a picture of my perfect plate of comfort food, this would be it…

I’m getting more and more into Thai/ Malaysian/ Asian food – especially a good noodle dish with some fried chicken, a bit of spice and I especially like it when a dish topped with a fried egg. Or a decent Thai curry / a laksa with a good kick of spice goes down well too.

So when we visited Syiok-Lah, they provided two of my ultimate plates of heaven;

• Maggie Goreng – Fried Chicken (£13.95): Stir-fried Malaysian noodles with mixed veg, egg, topped with spring onion, crispy shallots, fresh chillies, and lime to finish.
• Rice Dish – Beef Rendang (12.95): 6 hours slow-cooked beef in 10 combinations of herbs, spices, coconut milk and toasted coconut. Served with coconut rice and cucumbers. Garnish with coriander and fresh chillies
• We also shared a Chicken Satay Bao Bun (£7.50)

Everything was exceptionally delicious and we cleared the plates (as you can see). The service was swift and staff really helpful and friendly.

Other dishes on their menu include Roti Canai (two pieces of flaky roti bread served with a choice of Beef Rendang or Chicken Curry), Laksa, Loaded Fries, Chicken Drumsticks and more. There is only one Vegan option currently but this may change as they grow?!

I would recommend you give this food vendor a try when visiting Cutlery Works (Check out my review of the pop-ups and events I’ve visited at Cutlery Works overall here), or order via UberEats.
