The Flavours of Home (mobile podcast #012)
Some friends and I met up for dinner the other evening at Tukdin, a Malaysian restaurant in the Paddington area.
It was recommended to me by Zaharah Wan, aka Kak Teh, so it was a great bonus that she and her husband Wan Hulaimi, aka Awang Goneng, the bestselling Malaysian author of Growing Up in Trengganu could join us to introduce us to what turned out to be their “home from home”.
We were also joined by my good pal, Ingrid Beazley, blogger and co-editor of Dulwich OnView, the online magazine of the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery and my partner, web designer Angie Macdonald.
We did a podcast review of the restaurant and also got the opportunity to meet Tukdin, the man himself. Check it out via the player below.

What a star-studded “cast” for a dinner! ;)
Will try out Tukdin the next time I’m in town (though goodness knows when that’d be).

Kenny, let me know when you are here and we go, okay? its not far from Holiday Villa.
The restaurant was crowded that night but Yang-May managed a good quality interview. I am tempted to do podcasting - a review of sorts - by podcasting now. Thank yang-may.

Hi tum chiak - it’s difficult finding a good Malaysian restaurant in London, unfortunately. Tukdin is one of the better ones I’ve come across recently.
