3 Mama Chef's - Haymarket, Sydney


Thai-Style Chicken Satay

-> I can't remember the last time I ate Thai satay (or any other non-Indonesian satays from Southeast Asia because my patriotic pride insists that peanut sauced satay is originally from Indonesia, other countries just COPY), but it's nice to have other Southeast Asian satay for a change. Actually, Thai satay is quite good - unlike other Southeast Asian satays. Of course, Indonesia is still in my opinion THE place to eat satay - we've got tons of regional varieties of satay within the country - my favorites being: Sate Padang (Spicy curry-sauced ox tongue satay, Minangkabau-style - from West Sumatra), Sate Lilit (minced pork / beef satay from Bali), and traditional, national-style Javanese satay (the usual one with peanut sauce).

Rating: 6.5/10


Chicken Pad Krapao

-> Yummy. Highly addictive. It's not hot enough for my tongue, though. Actually, I was addicted to Pad Krapao a few years ago (I eat it almost 2 - 3 times a week!), but then I got sick of it, and now, my addiction has reached a plateau (stabilizing - only one or two occasions of craving per month)

Rating: 7/10


Anyway, this newly-opened restaurant on Pitt street is quite good - selections are broad, service is friendly. Will definitely come back for lunch or late dinners.
