I read about Jom Makan a few weeks back in The London Paper & having walked past it every day on my way to work i was suprised i had never noticed it before. Located slap bang on Trafalgar Square it couldnt be more central, perhaps the building is a little off putting, a grand edwardian building could be a little intimidating to some but the restaurant is light & bright & the staff are very friendly & helpful in explaining the dishes. A very plesant meal that was above all fantastic value for money. We ordered spiced potato cakes (moist & packed full of punch) & garlic chilli squid (lightly cooked so it wasnt to chewy) as side dishes & i had nasi lemak – a mix of beef curry, egg, rice, peanuts, spicy prawns – may sound like a strange mixture but apparently is a signature dish of malaysia & a great combination of firey chilli & rich coconut. The wife played it safe with avegetarian Nasi Goreng – a rice dish with butternut squash, spring onions – she had a smile on her face. In fact we both left with a smile on our faces & we will definitely be back soon.
