Singaporean and Malaysian

Kakikopi

The Malaysian Chinese dining tradition of kopitiam is given a contemporary spin at Kakikopi, overseen by Jasmine Kho of Mulu fame. The emphasis here is on affordable pan-Southeast Asian cuisine and the menu is brimming with the classics, from Filipino beef adobo with garlic vinegar rice and beef rendang to Malaysian Sarawak laksa and nasi lemak, and Singaporean bakcho mee pok to the ubiquitous Hainan chicken rice.

Yuet Da Sing

Staying true to its humble Singapore’s Changi International Airport roots, Yuet Da Sing stocks a range of travel-related interior decorations that give the impression that you're in an airplane cabin, including little colorful planes, maps, and pictures. The menu includes cheap Singaporean dishes, such as bak kut teh, or meat bone soup (RMB 42), laksa (RMB 39), and milk tea (RMB 15).

Singapore Seafood

Belonging to Tung Lok Group, which owns four of the top 10 seafood restaurants in Singapore, one of its ventures, Singapore Seafood, now has two locations in Beijing: one at China World Mall and an older venue in Parkview Green.

Between the book-thick menu and the name, it's obvious what Singapore Seafood specializes in: crabs, barbecued fish, as well as a plethora of hearty Malaysian and Singaporean dishes, such as Hainanese chicken rice, fried noodles, and desserts.

Little Nyonya

This Malaysian restaurant serves a variety of traditional dishes, and the quality of the food is reliably good. Little Nyonya's know-how is most evident in their splendid red curry chicken, which teasingly alternates between sweet and spicy on the tongue. Chicken rice is done the Malay way, roasted, not steamed. This version may not pack the same flavorful punch as that of vendors in Malaysia or Singapore, but it's still an enjoyable dish. Another iconic dish from the region, curry laksa mee, starts out slightly thin, but the flavors eventually come together toward the bottom of the bowl.
