Sambal Kampung

Malaysian food can be so interesting and extremely tasty. Maybe it’s because I live in Melbourne and am spoilt for choice when it comes to delicious Malasian food but I find the offerings at this restaurant extremely limited.
Friends that have eaten the laksa say they think the spice is a little too overpowering for the dish (and they love spice). Personally though only having one dish available for vegetarians (and nothing for vegans) in Melbourne seems a little bit of a oversight. There are so many great veggie dishes coming out of that melting pot of cultures and culinary history that it seems a deliberate choice to restrict the options to one plate of expensive dumplings. They are soft, well stuffed but lacking in any great flavour.
It’s a order at the counter type deal here and food is brought out to your table. We had to find a bottle of water and two disposable plastic cups to drink it though. Maybe for the price people will deal with this but I think you can find cheaper and far more tasty options only a few doors down. Hopefully they will improve on their service and menu in the near future.
