Guidebook for Kensington
Drinks & Nightlife
Burgers and poutine from the menu with local craft beers on tap. Poutine is a dish of chipped potatoes topped with curd cheese and a tomato-based sauce - I didn't know either. Great bar with Davydd your host.

Food Scene
Sensational local eatery - spicy laksa, traditional Malaysian cuisine and hawker food, in a buzzy setting with bamboo trees. Gets really busy on all nights so either go early or expect a wait. Worth it though.
