Kawan

Kawan comes from Nigel Ng, best known as his comedy alter ego, Uncle Roger (this is an official "Uncle Roger restaurant"). Set in Chinatown, the menu takes in multiple Asian influences, with one of the key dishes being fried rice, which Uncle Roger is most known for, and the Chinese Wellington, a take on Gordon Ramsay's signature dish. The wine and drinks list is well priced and overall this is much better than many other celebrity-backed ventures.
