The best roti for me is a flaky, savory canvas for punchy sauces and curries. I'd also love to try teh tarik - have seen it on various blogs but never had it.Yasmeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921891926536652584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-81215875980504869122012-10-04T15:45:07.255+10:002012-10-04T15:45:07.255+10:00Having CBA Friday a day early ... and guess where ...Having CBA Friday a day early ... and guess where we're headed!!

And, it was packed by 12 noon and people started queuing out at the front. <br /><br />Just like you, I enjoyed the satay and the sauce. The best for me so far in Australia. As authentic as in Malaysia. But, a bit disappointed with the lamb murtabak. <br /><br />Funny that I was writing a post myself on Mamak Melbourne yesterday and came across your blog which was an excellent read / review of the place. http://foodtrail.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/what-is-mamak/<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Victor <br /> Victorhttp://www.foodtrail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-19043289018197406552012-10-01T20:20:04.120+10:002012-10-01T20:20:04.120+10:00I have heard so much about this place.

Kind of like "compared to the Mars Bar cheesecake, these scones are boring". Satays are definitely autentico.

I've added the teh tarik we had to the post ;-)<br /><br />That is a great point - unlike other Asian eateries, it's not open from dawn til dusk so if you get there at 5.30, I would think you are guaranteed a table.

Roti Prata is M's earliest and I think best culinary memory from his inaugural trip to Singapore. But he will be dissappointed with the Murtabak. Also those satays look the real deal!!
