Malay Chinese Takeaway, Sydney

I was told the Laksa here was perhaps the best in Sydney. Too bad I didn’t order the Laksa.

Malay Chinese Take Away is best known for it’s long queues primarily filled with CBD office workers on their lunch breaks. Rain, hail or shine you will find no shortage of people tucking into their meals with a bib on in order to save their precious Herringbone shirts or Versaci Suits from the aftermath of consuming a Laksa.

Combination Char Gweow Tyaow

As you can see, copious amounts of ‘gravy’ make a good version of this dish. There was no shortage of goodies as well. Plenty of veges, seafood and beef ensured we were touching several sections of the food group. This is how char gweow tyaow is meant to be eaten, slurped up with plenty of gravy.

Mee Goreng

Whenever I order Mee Goreng, I think of the instant ‘Indo Mi Goreng’ variety which most of us lived on during our childhood and most importantly uni. But of course, the real thing tastes considerably different. While it tasted quite delicious, I found it a tad bit oily. There were generous amounts of noodle, potato and egg. According to the chef what makes this dish is the special chili paste mix which they use. He was correct, it definitely packed a punch.

Vegetable Laksa

Unfortunately I didn’t get to order the Laksa, However according to Jess it was pretty good. Looks like we just have to take her word for it for now.

We started eatshowandtell in 2008, it was meant to be just a journal of where we ate. The first thing I usually do when I'm looking for a restaurant is check out eatability and the restaurant website. But what is usually missing is pictures of the food, how do I know I'm getting what I expect? This blog hopefully plugs that gap.
