Mamak, Lonsdale St MELB

Did someone say Malaysian food? Yes sireee, I can easily be spotted in a Malaysian restaurant whenever I am in the cbd area, mostly because I know that I will get satisfying food at affordable prices:) Having been to the mamak in Sydney, I was curious to know whether the Melbourne version could live up to expectations and true enough, they did not disappoint. Keep reading to find out more!:)

Roti telur ~ always good to have a friend working in a restaurant/ cafe as they would know what's best to recommend to you. To dear friend of mine, if you are reading this, this is a shout out to you and your awesome tastebuds haha. Fluffy soft roti with spicy curry sauce to drench every spoonful of roti with!

Mee goreng ~ this is one of the few things that I usually order whilst mamak-ing. Very good replica of the one back home:)

Sambal belacan kangkung ~ we all need a bit of veggies in our diet, ya know;)

Roti canai with kaya ~ favourite dessert from the menu. Not too much kaya and not overly sweet for a dessert, especially after a heavy meal.

Ais kacang aka shaved ice drizzled with rose syrup, coconut milk and served with an assortment of jellies and sweet corn puree ~ this is the malaysian version of ice cream, perfect for a hot summer day or after a spicy meal:)
