The fish though is an extra couple of bucks. What is it that you don't like about sambal? Is it the chilli? If so then fear not, as this sambal is quite mild on the chilli.<br/><br/>Hey thanh - the mee rebus was very popular when we were there - I saw quite a few people eating it. The satays are pretty darn good though, so I'd recommend the journey just for them. Just a tip - try to hit the joint about 12.30 - that way the food is freshest and most plentiful. Sometimes they can run out.<br/><br/>Hi chea - sorry to hear you didn't have such as good an experience as we did. Granted, I agree that the sambal isn't that hot (perhaps watered down for Australian tastes), but other than that, I found mine to be wonderfully tasty. But sambal, if made fresh, can differ day to day. Yeah, I've been told that you really need to get there on lunchtime (as mentioned above to Thanh), to get food when it is at its best.<br/><br/>Hey ironeaters - glad to see you're still reading the blogs. I've been missing your posts though! :-) Hi crushedguava – yup, that’s dirt cheap, huh? The fish though is an extra couple of bucks. What is it that you don’t like about sambal? Is it the chilli?

I had to drive to Clayton town first to grab money from the atm.<br/><br/>It could have been because it was a quarter to 2 when I got there and they were pretty much running out of certain things, but I wasn't too impressed. I agree that the sambal is a measure of the yumminess of the nasi lemak. Where I'm from (Brunei), the sambal usually has a bit more substance to it, is a little hotter and a little tastier. The sambal I got served was very very liquid-dy; it was swimming in oil. And it wasn't as tasty as it could have been. The rice was a bit dry too.<br/>It's not going to stop me trying the other dishes though. I think the nasi lemak today could just be a one off, and will be better when I'm able to leave the lab earlier.<br/>The teh tarek wasn't bad, although it was cold by the time I got to drink it (after bringing it back to work to sip while staring at the computer screen) hi!

He just went and loves the mee rebus and sata sticks. He was recommending I go and I said I will. Now I'm definitely going to give it a try. My friend was just telling me about this place.
