Mamak

Mamak.

Roti was awesome.

Ayam Goreng.

Chicken Satay.

Nasi Lemak (coconut rice).

I’d heard about Mamak, a Malay restaurant for a while now. Every time someone said something about it I thought they were saying ‘vagina’ in Indonesian (Memek!). Christina and I have been hunting down new things to eat so we gave it a go. We got there at just before 6PM and it was already packed, we literally got the last table available (and on the way out there was a decent sized queue outside).

Like seeing a movie. I tried my best to ignore the hype, but alas I have to say that I think it’s more hype than amazing food. Sure, the roti was awesome, really light and fluffy. I’ll be back to try more of the different roti they serve up, but the friend chicken wasn’t the best I’ve had (my Mum’s is way better!), the satay chicken wasn’t the best either (my uncle still kills it, Jimbaran a close second) and the nasi lemek was just boring (lamb curry was crazy tough and dry too).
