Mamak Chatswood update

Mamak is an award winning Malaysian restaurant, with branches in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Named after the roadside stalls of Kuala Lumpur that peddle Indian Malay street food, Mamak is renowned for authentic, bold and traditional flavours, with smart and friendly service.

True to my word in a recent post I visited Mamak in Chatswood for a second and third time to try the other gluten free dishes on the menu.Once again I was happy that I could walk straight in and not have to queue for a seat, though the place was still buzzing with people.Having tried the Nasi Lemak last time, I decided that I would try the satay skewers and the Sambal Udang (stir-fried tiger prawns with fiery sambal sauce).The Sambal Udang is on the lunch specials list for $29.00 (from memory) and comes with rice and some shredded carrot and cabbage. You get about 6 or 7 prawns and true to the description the dish is fiery! And that is saying something considering I love spicy food. The dish has a lot of flavour and I would highly recommend it.

The skewers are much smaller than I expected and therefore are quite pricey. However in saying that 1/2 dozen is plenty for an entree when sharing with friends due to the large size of the main dishes. The sweet and spicy peanut sauce is amazing and they give you plenty of it. I preferred the chicken skewers however the beef were also nice.
