This funky little restaurant, long a Time Out favourite, is under new management – and we’re happy to report that standards have been maintained. The food is as good, and the service as solicitous as ever. Indeed, little seems to have changed: the acres of exotic Thai silks and Indonesian fabrics, the teak, incense, candles and little Buddha statues still cast their calming spell. ‘Champor-champor’ is a Malaysian expression that translates roughly as ‘mix and match’: an apt description of the menu, which combines cooking styles and ingredients from throughout East and South-east Asia. Many dishes have their bedrock in Thai-Malay cookery and there are a few western touches too, as in chicken liver and green peppercorn pâté with melba toast and mango chutney. This pick-and-mix style could easily go horribly wrong, but the cooking is brilliantly executed and the clever combinations really work. Seared scallops were cooked just-so, served with salty-crisp bits of bacon and sour-sharp apple – a great combination. Vegetarians are also well cared for; a spicy yellow young banana curry with turmeric had depth of flavour and a potent kick. Save room for the desserts such as chocolate and chilli cheesecake.

Awful service, cold food and rude staff. Food would have been lovely if hot! Turned up 20 minutes early and they sent us away to find a pub and didn't' want us to come in. Next we order wine and they haven't got it! We ordered a dish off the xmas menu and they made such a fuss. They need to learn how to run a business. Definitely wouldn't recommend or go back!

Great food with excellent service. Unique decor and atmosphere - informal dining with friendly helpful staff. Complimentary entree on arrival and the waiter checked our dietery requirements before we ordered. We tried the haloumi cheese, the pork belly and green chicken curry. Excellent presentation and very tastey food. Reasonable price but even better we used a taste card which was 241 on the main meal. This place must rely on word of mouth - the door is so small I cant see they would get much passing foot trade but I thought it was a hidden gem and will go back. Overall I thought it was excellent, anyone who loves thai/malay cusine will enjoy their visit.

I went here late October 2011 with a friend. The food was delicious, 2 courses filled us up but we managed to squeeze in the lovely pistachio ice cream! The decor of the restaurant is amazing and all the staff were really friendly. I would definitely recommend this to everyone and being so close to London Bridge makes it a brilliant location. I'm going back for the Christmas menu! 5 stars.
