The Mamak of Sydney

Malaysia Truly Asia reflects the melting pot of language, race, nationality and religion happening in Malaysia which is evident by the fusion of clothes, food and culture of the various races commonly found in this South East Asian country.

Pual Keating (former Prime Minister of Australia) had gone on record insisting that Australia was part of Asia?

Australia had always been the focal point for students in Asia wanting to further their studies other then the Vietnamese refugees seeking permanent stay in the Down Under. Today, a cosmopolitan city like Sydney enjoys a larger mix of nationalities with many coming from China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Some of the former students whom had obtained permanent resident status got themselves adjusted to the world class city of Sydney that further adds colors to the multi cultural, race and language which naturally lends a sense of attraction to not only for students and business, but leisure travelers whom had made repeated visits to the city.

With the city hosting many nationalities from various countries, food to suit their taste buds are equally important and many migrants started restaurant business to cater for the travelers and locals. One particular restaurant is the Mamak restaurant located along Goulburn Street, which seats on the fringe of Sydney's very own Chinatown.

Mamak is a little Malaysian managed restaurant which serves authentic mamak styled delicacies at reasonable prices minus the "mamaks" behind the cooking. The only thing different here is that it is considered a fast food outlet without the tables and chairs on the streets for the normal teh tarik sessions.

The line of the normal tables and chairs are replaced by long queues in the evenings. I would not blame if the queue is mistaken for concert ticket queue.

They had earned rave gastronomic reviews and one wold expect that similar outlets in various parts of the city or Australia but that's not the case. This outlet is the one and only in the world (today) and s in it's career website page declared, it would clearly well be on its way to becoming an institution in Sydney!

This is one Malaysian venture we can be proud of! Keep it going.....
