Little Nyonya

You'll find Little Nyonya tucked away on Westmead Road, where the menu reads like a love letter to Malaysian and Hong Kong home cooking. Walk in and you're immediately hit with the smell of proper wok work—none of that diluted, Anglicised stuff you get elsewhere in Sutton. The room itself is unpretentious, the kind of place where regulars have their usual orders memorised and the staff actually seem pleased to see you. Order the nyonya dishes if you want to understand what this place is about; they nail the balance between aromatic spices and restraint that separates the real thing from the tourist version.
