Bubble Tea, Malaysian Food and Kebabs at The Holborn Food Hub

Discovered The Holborn Food Hub while I was in the area.
Initially I thought they only served doners because it was what you could see from the outside, it turns out there are two more shops inside.
At the far back, you will find a newly opened Malaysian cafe which used to be in Peckham then in the middle there is an Asian bubble tea stall with desserts.
This was the first stall I tried, I was overwhelmed by the drink choices as it was not just bubble tea!
They had two long drink lists for avocado and pistachio!!
It was really hard deciding between avocado and pistachio but luckily I spotted this avocado and pistachio drink and swapped the caramel pearls for my favourite pandan jelly!!!
The drink was really good so I finished it which was rare.
With pistachio drink, one would expect it to be made with pistachio powder but it contained chunky crushed pistachio nuts and then you got this savoury avocado which was heaven.
Overall, pistachio and avocado were a good pairing because they were both savoury.
My favourite pandan jelly was lush and not too sweet so definitely ordering this drink again.
Also tried the peanut milk because they ran out of the chestnut milk and it was interesting and nothing like peanut butter.
Returned to try the Malaysian cafe for the prawn mee and curry chicken chee cheong fun and both were seriously good.
The prawn mee broth was dark orange with a red oil layer on top, this is always a good sign meaning that it is made with prawn shells and prawn head.
It definitely didn't disappoint as the prawn flavour was really strong and the thin rice vermicelli soaked it nicely.
The chicken was a bit of a let down even though it was tender thigh meat because there was an overnight odour to it or perhaps it had been braised for too long.
The curry chicken chee cheong fun was also tasty especially the curry as it was really strong and tasted like Singaporean Laksa somehow!
For dessert, we had the pandan and grass jelly tofu pudding which was lush and not too sweet.
I would have been happy with just the pandan jelly.
