When i was in primary school, my mother would bring my brother and i to her friends house and we would play with their kids. usually some form of sport like handball and we’d whack that ball against the wall of the outdoor shed in which my ‘aunt’ (all chinese kids are brought up to call all older people aunty/uncle) would cook fishhead curry, laksa and best of all pandan cake. for years she would cook in that shed until one day she opened a restaurant in parramatta and later, much later, Sambal the Malaysian Food Experience was born!

the restaurant is located at Eden Park, Shop 7, 285-297 Lane Cove Rd, North Ryde and can be quite hard to find if you dont know the area well (near a maccas)

shiny

Mamak Mee Goreng ($10.80). thick egg noodles stir fried with prawn fritters, fried bean curd, eggs, squid, prawns and bean sprouts in a spicy sauce. the brother unit has been working there since it opened doing, in kitchen speak: ‘the pass’ ie final inspection of food, garnishings and figuring out which table it goes to. the highlight of working there is he gets to eat whatever he wants and so hes become very knowledgable in what to order lol i worked/helped out for a grand total of one day before realising i still cant stand customers/people no matter how much i want to

Chicken Laksa ($9.80) mmm laksa with no bean sprouts and only egg noodles hehe yeah im fussy but it was tasty stuff… strangely enough i like the coconut milk in laksa soup but i cant stand fresh, shredded or desicated coconut in anything

Prawn Laksa ($13.80)

Mamak Rojak ($11.80). kinda like a salad but with deep fried prawn fritter goodness
Back to home
wow this looks fantastic – I’ve been craving good Malaysian food since I got back from Wellington. Will have to make the trip to visit this!
