Mamak, A price comparison between 2015 and 2023.

Hello 2023.  One of my creature comforts in this world is Mamak. Why? Because the menu never changes and the food is quite consistent. It's actually been about 2 years since I last went to Mamak. So is it still consistent and  delightful?

Malaysian Heritage Cuisine Event hosted by Jackie M

I recently attended an event to celebrate Malaysian Heritage Cuisine. The very talented and popular Jackie M hosted the event in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries of Malaysia (MAFI), in partnership with the Masters of Malaysian Cuisine (MOMC). Jackie M is a renowned chef and founder of Masters of Malaysian Cuisine.

This was my first foodie event since having my baby boy Benji which I have left at home with Mr Weekend Food Escapes. I missed him so much while I was at the event but it was good to socialise and be immersed back into the world of food.

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. 

Papparich, Macquarie Park

I recently found out that Papparich had a Malaysian Fried Chicken Sandwich and their chicken recipe was in collaboration with Belle's Hot Chicken. I was mighty curious and so I headed into Macquarie Park Papparich to check it out.

Pappa Rich, Castle Hill

Ten years ago, you would not have thought that Castle Hill was such a happening place. So many new things are now in Castle Hill, in particular the piazza and there's a metro line that will be there so it will be more accessible. I recently noticed there's so many new eateries including Gami (Korean Fried Chicken - famous from Melbourne), Betty's Burgers and Pappa Rich. There's so much going on in Castle Hill Piazza.

Ho Jiak, Haymarket

I had to go back to Ho Jiak recently when I found out they had a new menu. I joined my foodie friend Andy for a Malaysian feast. I absolutely enjoyed my last visit to Ho Jiak so I was looking forward to the upcoming dinner.

Ho Jiak, Haymarket

I'm a massive fan of Malaysian food and Ho Jiak in Strathfield so when I heard they were opening up another store in the city, I was very happy.   Head Chef, Junda inspired by his Grandma knows that fresh ingredients and bold flavours are the key to continuing her legacy.  The City store has a different menu though so here's the low down on what to order.

Petaling, Taste Food Tours - Part 1

Have you ever been on a Taste Food Tour? They're a not-for -profit organisation that aims to spread the word of harmony and diversity and also giving back to the cherished cultural hubs within Sydney. On this occasion I check out the China Town tour.

Mamak, Haymarket

On a lazy Sunday, I decide to go to Mamak for an early lunch. Mamak opens at 11:30 am so there's only a handful of people entering at this time. I've always been a big fan of Mamak but I think it's lost some of it's magic.

Bluestone Restaurant and Bar, Darlinghurst

I recently checked out Blue Stone Restaurant and Bar in Darlinghurst for lunch. It's an Asian fusion restaurant with dumplings and Chinese/Malaysian influences on their menu. 

Papparich, Sydney CBD

Pappa don't preach... Err I mean Papparich! Did you know Papparich has opened up another venue in the Sydney CBD on liverpool st? It's a short stroll from World Square if you are craving those Malaysian flavours.

Kreta Ayer, Chatswood

Who's a big fan of Singaporean Crab? I check out popular chain Kreta Ayer for the full Singaporean food experience. Have you been to Kreta Ayer before?

Mamak, Chatswood

I hope Mamak is paying their staff correctly because their food is so amazing. I am guilty of regularly ordering my favourite dishes again and again at Mamak!

Mamak, Chinatown Sydney

I have read about Mamak underpaying their staff and I really hope they have paid their fines and rectified the situation because they have such amazing food. 

Ho Jiak, Strathfield

My girlfriends and I decide to catch up in Strathfield at Ho Jiak for a nice, cheap and cheerful dinner. WOW, look at their new signature dish above which is the floating chopstick noodles.

Little Hutong, Little Bay

I head to Little Hutong in Little Bay for a little bit of Asian fusion and a big smack in the taste buds. While Little Hutong has an array of Asian dishes, their Malaysian dishes are simply divine.

Lees Malaysian since 1982, Sydney CBD

IT'S GETTING COLD! Time to get out the soups and broths! I head to the food court in the PWC Tower in Darling Park for some noodles from Lees Malaysian Since 1982.

Jimmy's Recipe, Sydney CBD

KNOWN FOR DELICIOUS, WARM, HOT BROTH NOODLE SOUP DISHES i.e LAKSA Baby. HAR MEE! On a cooler, rainy day, I decide to head to Jimmy's Recipe in the Galleries for lunch with a friend.

Hawker, Sydney CBD

Hawker is a new brother restaurant to Mamak. Mamak is amazing so I was eager to see if their brother restaurant continues the tasty standards.

Alice's Makan, Sydney CBD

Alice's Makan is known for having a very delicious lunch. It's a cheap and cheerful meal.
