This Malay Chinese restaurant ("kopi" is Thai for coffee, "tiam" is Chinese for shop) is a new favourite in Canberra. Located in the hip area of Manuka with busy quaint shopping, this relaxed restaurant served great food and we had a great waiter who helped us choose from the extensive selection of delicious sounding dishes, and good service.
Menu ranged from starters and soup of fabulous spring rolls wth chilli jam to main dishes of tender meat, spicy fish, chicken, as well as noodle and rice dishes. Also, vegetarian choices such as aubergine and tofu and desserts like sago pudding with coconut cream and palm syrup available.
We had the veggie springrolls and Malayan beef rendang – tender chunks of beef simmered in spices and herbs and Crispy Asian chicken served with coriander and soy dipping (which was served on the side because the waiter thought it might be too spicy for our child).
Specials included an appetizer of red curry fish cakes with cucumber dip for $10.50 and Japanese crumbed Flathead and sweet potato chips with wasabi mayo for $29.90.
We will definitely be returning to this restaurant to sample more of the fare and looking forward to the specials.
