Mamak

This place is yum! It's a very popular Malaysian eatery in Chinatown, with the best roti's I've had in Sydney. I managed to have 3 rotis which were distinctly different in the one meal.

Roti Canai - $5 the plain roti, which was so puffy
Roti Kaya - $7.50 a dessert roti with coconut jam
Roti Bom - a thicker chewier dessert roti with honey, this one is really, really good at just $7.50

I did eat some non-roti items:
Kari Ayam $15 - one of the best malaysian chicken curries I've had
Murtabak with lamb $10.50 - spiced mince in a pastry
Chicken satay $8

It's a very busy place, and to avoid a wait we arrived before 6pm on a week night. Any later, or on the weekends people tend to wait over half an hour. Despite this place having a huge line out the front I never felt they hurried us, and found it a quite relaxed place despite a buzz.

I'm impressed they've kept prices very reasonable, and for around $20 per person for food and drinks, I ate very well. I'll be back!
