all of that looks so good, especially for the roti

you should definitely submit some of your photos to http://www.donteatthatyet.com. their goal is to create a visual restaurant review site with a template similar to that of tastespotting.

Karen : Yeah I tend to agree about the ‘whats the big deal’ about Mamak. Don’t get me wrong, I love the place but like you said there are better joints out there. It’s a bit like the people who line up for Billy Kwong, when there is better food elsewhere! But each to their own

Helen : It seems your not the only one who has other suggestions for Malaysian! I will have to visit both yours and Karen’s suggestions, I’m missing out

Debzillah : I’m a bit like homer when I go out to eat, droolicious!

Miss Honey : Definately doesn’t compare to hawker style! There is something about outdoor cooking which makes the food 100x better. I recall eating at Bukit Bintang alot but apparently there is better ? Yeah regarding the kebabs, I think I have consumed waaay too much ‘death juice’ (kebab juice at bottom of kebab)

arwen : Roti is the highlight, I could just come here for roti if it wasn’t for the ridiulous queues.

abercrombie : Yeah you can’t miss this place, it’s near BBQ King!

The curries look beautifully rich. The roti sound like a bargain too, even if the rest is more pricey. Arwen from Hoglet K’s last blog post..Tant Pour Tant

Oh Mamak!! I love this place, but I do agree with Karen, it's definitely not the the most authentic when you compare it to the hawker style you get on the Malaysian streets.. I love the nifty packaging they get over there lol. That being said, that never stops me from coming and for people who aren't familiar with Malaysian food, it's a great place to start:D Also, location rocks. And Howard - your body is starting to reject the post booze kebab? Wow. Not that a feast at Mamak is hard to get used to lol. Miss Honey’s last blog post..Toko, Surry Hills

Everytime I walk past, I cannot believe how long the queues are. It's like Mamak is the new Spice I Am! I like the spectacle of the roti production at the front, but for a Malaysian-fix in the Chinatown I still prefer Kopitiam which doesn't seem as sweet (or bright, or crowded, or as pricey) as Mamak. The roti is better here though. Your photos are amazing as always though. Helen’s last blog post..Prize giveaways #6 and #7: $50 home delivery vouchers from Menulog

As a Malaysian I have to say Mamak isn’t the best or the most authentic. To their credit their roti and tea tarik is pretty good and it’s very rare to find Milo Ais on any menu! I must say also that the Nasi Lemak looks fantastic! But still it’s not worth the long wait and I’m still not sure what the fuss is about. But to each their own I guess

To alleviate my cravings, Sin Ma, Istana and Alice ranks on my list! Oh and Kangkung with scant belacan is a travesty indeed! Great photos Howard.
