Ping's Makan Club - Malaysian Supper Club in Bath and North East Somerset

We were really looking forward to this evening as we both love Malaysian food and had booked it two months in advance. The pub service was very good and professional but we left feeling disappointed with the food. We often sign up to supper clubs and felt that given the ingredients, £55 per head for four courses, was very steep. Rice and lentils (although the dal was delicious) are very basic. The atmosphere was very congenial tho' and Ping was charming. We were expecting more of a "wow" factor having watched her progress avidly from Masterchef.

Went to a recent Makan event with 5 of my friends and we had a great time. Ping had created a menu that contained some wonderful flavours, textures and new interpretations of Malaysian dishes. The star dish of the night for me was the pork in black rice vinegar and pickled cucumber - a real flavour explosion. I know this event was the first in the new venue and yet it felt like previous events - friendly, social and everyone enjoying great food and a chance to chat with Ping about the food. We all left very happy and talking about the next Makan...:-)
