The Best Dishes Everyone Should Try in Melbourne Best Dishes Everyone Should Try in Melbourne | Page 14

Last, and least. I know this is getting boring, but guess what, I went to this restaurant the first day it
opened, they should put a plaque with my name on it on the wall. This would have been in the eighties, I
was working just around the corner for an Advertising Agency, no I wasn't the copy writer, I was the tea
lady.
This was good then and it's good now. Look I know I'm doing a laksa thing here, but I've got to tell you
they make a stuffed bread, called roti murthabak, there are a few ways of spelling it but this gives you the
idea. I've got to say, theirs is not within a bulls roar of the best I've had (which was at a place just down
over the road from the Green Cloth in Richmond, if that's still there even. Sadly the restaurant that sold
this delicacy went, I don't know where :{(> I've got a mo and a goaty.).
Their roti murthabak is still good though, it's spicy meat and onion, wrapped and cooked in a roti bread,
try it. You can get it as part of a curry for dipping in, or on it's own, so be careful, whichever one you want,
you invariably get the wrong one. I know I use a lot of commas, but Winston Churchill wrote a whole book
with all commas and only one full stop. Never in the field of restaurant reviews, so many commas, so little
value.
Oh I almost forgot, this laksa is pretty good, but there is one thing about this one that is different (which
maybe was a mistake). Clams. As I said, she, the cat's mother and I, as a rule don't like seafood. This is one
of the exceptions to the rule, she loves the clams in this laksa. Although they don't always put them in, so
maybe it was a mistake, the chef got confused halfway through making the curry laksa? He may have
thought he was making a seafood one?
Again this place is bargain basement eating, and all the food is good.
So there you have it, we were slow, we took our sweet time. We got there in the end. This is how all the
best food is prepared. Now, apart from hearing your opinion on a stand out laksa, could you please refer
to this article, over and over again. Share it with your friends, as I hate to beg, but I only get a measly cent
when you read this and you get a truck load worth of fine eating. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
I could have short changed you (hard for a cent mind) and just told you about one of these places and
asked you to do the rest, but no, I've given you my favourite haunts, now I'll have to queue up longer
when you all go there. I wanted to keep these a secret. Too late.
