London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - Other Asian - Malaysian
When I shimmied inside this lush venue I thought I'd accidentally stumbled into Dans le noir - it was so dark I had to stand and squint for a few minutes while my eyes adjusted and I tried to scan the balconies for my friends. Yeah there were beautiful intricate asian-themed decorations, bouncers and maitre d's and the table settings were all very grand. But there was something distinctly not me about it. With a £9 glass of wine nestled in my hand, looking at my friend in a borrowed jacket as they'd turned him away with his jumper, I realised I couldn't wait to leave. I like a place where every now and then someone tips their head back and laughs uproarously, where lighting is delicate but natural, where people are friendly in a natural way. Buddha bar I'm sure would be many a girl's dream. But not this one.
