Mamak

366 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

After collecting our race packs for sunday's colour run, we decided to go somewhere closer to Melbourne Central for lunch. Mamak sells Malaysian cuisine, something closer to home and it is crazy pack during lunch time. Some spice to wake our taste buds.

Mamak has other dishes that are pretty good such as satays and roti canai (refer pictures from malaysia festival). Mamak has an outlet in Sydney as well I guess. Happen to come across their stall at Sydney's Chinatown night market.

The pineapple peanut sauce that comes with the satays is a pleasant surprise. It brings out the flavour of the BBQ skewed meat but it is pretty pricey for a local delicacy in Singapore.

 nasi udang - would prefer if they do not prepare the prawns with soda for the fake crunchy taste. It is so hard to find really fresh seafood in the city unless you drive out to the fish market which can be pretty troublesome.

curry ayam - pretty spicy judging from the fact that the dish is aimed to cater to the australian taste.

maggie goreng - my favourite, strongly recommended by my friend Vanessa. 

Piece of advice : Go for the set lunches, very much cheaper and it serves the same portion as the mains. 

Have fun peeps :D
