Melbourne's Mamak



Around these parts, it's the closest thing to home. And it just happens to be five minutes drive away. Bismi Restaurant is located on Sydney Road, Brunswick, and it's got all my favourite mamak dishes. We ended up going there tonight because Babes finished work late and was too tired to cook. So we enjoyed an unexpected (and totally delicious!) treat of Paper Tosai, Mee Goreng, Roti Telur, Roti Bawang and Teh Tarik. That was probably one Roti too many, due to a miscommunication; Lakshmi at the counter didn't understand the concept of combining the Telur and Bawang. Apparently that's not the way it's done over here. Sometimes I forget that not everything's the way it is in KL lah. Oh and just to cover my ample behind, this image is courtesy of www.bismi.com.au

sorry simon. I will be more careful with my spelling in future. for you other readers out there who intend to leave comments - please make note that simon is a copywriter. any abuse of the language (other than for effect) incurs a demerit (that means you owe simon a good meal) ... and the right spelling for the context it was used in is 'rein'.
