Asian Twist Delicious

This place seems to be quite closed. It has particle-​board covering the front, and an enigmatic street sign placed in front of it, indicating you should make a left turn.
Disappointing, as I wanted fresh roti. :(

I went with a friend looking for the Malaysian Pancake Company
but ended up eating at the restarant right next to it — This one!
The food is awesome and the Malaysian coffee is brilliant as well. They use condensed milk and some extras in it. Make sure you ask specifically for the Malaysian coffee, hot the-​one-​with-​condensed-​milk to make sure you get this one!
The rotis are great and the fish Assam and Sambal (I think that was the name) were both amazing. We’ve been here 3 times now and have struck up conversation with the staff who are pretty friendly as well.
My only gripe with the place is that all 3 times I had to pay with cash which meant I had to step out and go to the nearest ATM in the cold. FIX YOUR CARD READER GUYS!
But hell, that can’t take away from the food!

So… do I review ATD separately from Roti King? Or are they one and the same?
Ok, ok, I’ll follow Yee Gan O.‘s lead… so go see my review of Roti King here:
Ok, so here I will review the non-​roti items I had from Asian Twist Delicious.
Despite their fantastically kitschy Asian name, their food and sugary ice-​blended beverages were legit. The Laksa I had (seafood coconut noodle soup) was REALLY spicy, but quite pretty and very tasty. One of the better Laksas I’ve had in London. I also really liked Rob H.‘s Hokkien Mee. As he pointed out, it lacked the crispy pork fat bits you find in KL Hokkien Mee, but for one less versed in the finer nuances of Malaysian noodles, I thought it was pretty damn good (and he admitted that, for London, it was fairly impressive). They also have a variety of very Asian very sugary ice-​blended. Rob had one with aloe and I had a brown sugar one. Very refreshing and tasty and helps one deal with the spice of the Laksa!
Also, go get a Malaysian Pancake if the Malaysian Pancake Co stall is outside, like it frequently is. #2 is great!
I cannot wait to go back for more.

Asia Twist Delicious occupies the site which used to be Malaysian restaurant Kopi Tiam. Speaking to the staff, this new Malaysian restaurant is also owned by the Kopi Tiam owners but has been rebranded
My primary reason for visiting can be spotted from the outside. Right in the window of the restaurant is the Roti King stall where fresh roti canai is made to order. Roti canai is a thin Malaysian flatbread made by stretching and throwing dough and filling it with different things before cooking it on a hot griddle. As far as I know, this is the only place in the UK where you can get freshly made to order roti canai
I also ordered the char koay teow — broad rice sticks fried at high temperature in a wok to create charred edges with added squid and chicken. The version here was satisfyingly fragrant
The soya bean milk was home made rather than from a carton. Nice touch
My only tip would be to reprint the menu up on the shop window as the images and words look smudged and the food here deserves to get a good advertisement. One of the most authentic Malaysian restaurants I’ve come across in London

Roti canai. Forget your fry up, roti canai is THE breakfast of champions. Briefly, roti canai is an unassuming Indian-​via-​Malaysia crisp-​but-​fluffy flatbread served with curry (yes, curry breakfast. Try it, you’ll never go back), to be eaten at any time of day, 4am or 4pm. Although RC is available at most Malaysian restaurants, it’s usually one which has come in a packet and, whilst not horrible, doesn’t quite sate the roti canai cravings that I get monthly (no, I’m a boy). Asia Twist Delicious has an ace up its sleeve — it is the home of the Roti King, who I believe was operating out of stall until snapped up by these guys. The Roti King makes RC fresh before your very eyes which, for Malaysians, is a sight for sore eyes. Not only does the Roti King do standard roti canai with curry, but there are a number of other favourites such as a the Roti Pisang (roti canai with banana) and similar breads such as the dosa.
For £5.50, you’ll get two RC and a curry of your choice (chicken/​lamb/​dhal). The RC are really good — unlike the packet one, they’re not too greasy and they’re a lot less dense. Whilst they could be a little bit crisper and fluffier, they compare favourably to their Malaysian counterparts. As for the curries, we tried the chicken and the lamb — the chicken one is a little bit on the thin side, but the lamb one was great, very similar in style to a rending. Nom. Deftly avoiding any vegetables whatsoever, we also had roti banana for dessert which was also excellent (although they took away our bowls of curry sauce from our mains beforehand and didn’t replace them).
Word to the wise — RC are delicious, but not instantly filling: they expand slowly in your stomach, and overload is dangerous.
Asia Twist Delicious also serve a variety of Malaysian favourites, but we were too busy cracking through rotis to try them — I’ll definitely post an update to this review when I’ve tried them. And, if you’re somehow still hungry, the Malaysian Pancake Co. set up stall just outside the restaurant.
I’m really thankful that we finally have a real roti canai place in London — I’ve been praying for it for a while — and it’s a really good rendition too. Honestly, do it for breakfast. Asia Twist Delicious opens Monday-​Sunday at 11am, and it’s perfect if you’re feeling like something a little bit different. Long live Roti King!
