Malaysian eatery Uncle Lim branches from Whitgift in East Croydon to South Croydon

Uncle Lim, a popular Malaysian eatery in East Croydon located on the upper floor of the Whitgift centre has opened another branch in South Croydon.

Since then, they have closed the shop at Whitgift and now permanently based in South Croydon.

Finally paid it a visit and tried the long awaited Hainan chicken which is only available at the weekends.

The hainan chicken was surprisingly good and very different to the Thai and Singaporean version.

It is quite basic with just chicken, a few slices and cucumber and rice.

I liked it because the soy sauce was thick and salty like marmite without the cloying sweetness of the Singaporean style sauce.

The chicken was tender, soft and fresh so overall it was very impressive.

The prawn mee was a bit disappointing as it lacked the richness of prawn as well as the red oils from the prawn head when you boil the prawns for the prawn broth.

For drinks, tried the AW Root beer which was seriously horrible because it tasted like those weird Chinese oil that people apply when they are dizzy.
