Mamak, Chatswood - A revisit


I've been to Mamak many times over the years. The menu has never changed. I go back to see if the food is as good as I remembered. Check out my last visit in 2017 in this blog post. 
So with covid-19 social distancing rules in place and a requirement to have 1 person per 4sqm, there are obviously less tables at Mamak so I make a point of trying to arrive there early. I am able to get a table straight away but I do see a small line forming in the subsequent 20 minutes.


You can't go to Mamak without ordering a roti. It's a signature that's always captured my tastebuds' heart. I've tried all the rotis on the menu over the years and my favourite is the Roti Planta ($9 aka the Butter Roti) followed by the Original Roti Canai (fluffy and light on the inside, crispy on the outside). Today Mr Weekend Food Escapes and I share the Roti Planta.

The Roti is served up with a side of sambal sauce and two mild curries. The Roti Planta is just as I remembered, fluffy, light and delightful as it reaches my mouth. I like to mix a small portion of sambal and two curries on the roti in one and then enjoy the all the flavours in one bite.



Today, I decide to order a noodle dish off Mamak's menu called "Maggi Goreng" ($15).  This dish has a spicy wok-tossed maggi noodles with egg, prawns, fish cake slices and bean sprouts. There's also fresh cucumber and tomato. The noodles are full of flavour but fused with garlic, onion and a  spicy sauce. I enjoy combining sliced fish cake with the noodles into my mouth and when there's a particularly spicy bite, I enjoy the cucumber as an instant reliever.



Mr Weekend Food Escapes has a shell-fish allergy so he is often confined to what he can order at Mamak. He orders the dozen of satay sticks (12 for $24) which you can choose of chicken or beef or a mix of both. The skewers are served up with a delicious mildly spicy satay sauce and a side of onions and cucumber. We also order a side of rice ($3). The spicy satay sauce is just as I remembered - chunky, full of peanut and spicy flavours with a hit of garlic. I enjoy the chicken satay sticks more so than the beef. The cucumber is a nice relief although I decide to preserve my breath and avoid the raw onions on this occasion. 

Summary: Overall, my Mamak experience was consistent with my previous visits in terms of quality of food, taste and customer service.  I always recommend the roti and I quite liked the chicken satay sticks.

  15. Such a delightful and heartwarming post about JBW Pet Fest! While we celebrate our furry friends and their unique personalities, it's important to remember that sometimes even the most lovable pets can be a bit too vocal.
    That's where the beauty of an anti-dog barking device comes in. It's a helpful tool for pet owners seeking a peaceful and harmonious living environment for their pets and neighbors alike. It's all about striking the right balance between celebrating our pets' individuality and ensuring everyone's comfort"

  16. The rapid evolution of modern healthcare systems brings with it a responsibility to navigate ethical considerations. As we embrace innovative technologies, it's crucial to strike a balance between progress and ethical practice. From ensuring patient privacy to addressing biases in artificial intelligence, the ethical framework of healthcare systems must evolve alongside technological advancements. Engaging in discussions that prioritize ethical considerations is key to building a sustainable and responsible future for modern healthcare.
