Mietta's Review
After cooking at the famous King's and Plaza Hotels in Singapore, where he created enormous Nonya (Straits Chinese) buffets every day, Beng Lai Lim went on to set up the Bugis St restaurant in London. He and his family now live in Melbourne and Bee Lee, his wife, runs front of house in this compact, unpretentious restaurant, which is fast becoming known for its hawker fare and home-cooked style of Nonya and Malaysian favourites.
