Much-loved chicken shop Morley’s and Malaysian restaurant Roti King are coming together for a very special food event.
The two brands are uniting under the name Bossman Mamak for a pop-up in Brixton Village which will run from Thursday April 9 until Sunday April 12. They will be selling four dishes (as well as a limited edition tote bag and cap):
Wings & Nasi Lah, which sees Nasi Goreng served with three wings, sambal and a fried egg.
Boss, Ayam Dua!, which will include two-piece fried chicken and crispy fries in a spice mix with peanut sauce dip.
Sedap Wrap of chicken tenders wrapped roti canai with achar salad.
KL Dirty Fries, a vegan dish with crispy fries and shiitake mushroom rendang.
Speaking about the collaboration, Roti King’s founder Sugen Gopal has commented: ‘Mamak stalls in Malaysia are where everything comes together - after work, after football, where the night ends or carries on. When I look at Morley’s in London, I see that same energy and sense of community, which makes this feel bigger than just a collaboration. It’s about two food cultures meeting and finding common ground, built on the same community and just told through different flavours.’
Shan Selvendran, Morley's CEO, added: ‘We’re always looking to push the boundaries of what Morley’s can do while celebrating our South London roots. Seeing our signature chicken paired with Roti King’s legendary flavours is something special, it's bold, it's iconic, and it’s exactly how London street food should be.’
As well as its original Euston branch, which opened in 2014, Roti King now has locations in Battersea Power Station, Waterloo, Spitalfields and Brighton. Morley’s was founded in Sydenham in 1985 and now has 130 branches across the UK.
The Bossman Mamak pop-up takes place at Brixton Village, Coldharbour Lane, SW9 9PS.
