Feast!

Today, we gathered and 'makan'! Being away from home for so long, I've always missed malaysian food. This time, we checked in at Mamak Chatswood, a rather well- known malaysian restaurant in Sydney.

I would say there are a few differences in terms of the taste of food and environment. To start off, Mamak refers to food stalls operate by Malaysia's Indian- muslim community, and  mamak stalls are usually along streets or any random corners and is open aired.  To mention a few mamak signatures are roti, satay, maggi goreng, tandoori chicken and teh tarik.

In Malaysia, mamak is a place where people like to hang around with friends late at night and have supper. Also, it is quite a culture where football fans will gather at mamak to watch football matches! Whereas the 'mamak' we visited today is more like a proper restaurant.

Speaking of food, I would say the dishes served are very similar to those in Malaysia. Just that the food are not as spicy and some are altered to suit the locals. For instance, the rojak is quite different in compare to Malaysian rojak.

Overall, it was great food with great people! I had fun and most importantly my craves for malaysian food is satisfied! =)))
