Mamak Chatswood update
True to my word in a recent post I visited Mamak in Chatswood for a second and third time to try the other gluten free dishes on the menu.
Once again I was happy that I could walk straight in and not have to queue for a seat, though the place was still buzzing with people.
Having tried the Nasi Lemak last time, I decided that I would try the satay skewers and the Sambal Udang (stir-fried tiger prawns with fiery sambal sauce).
The Sambal Udang is on the lunch specials list for $11.50 (from memory) and comes with rice and some shredded carrot and cabbage. You get about 6 or 7 prawns and true to the description the dish is fiery! And that is saying something considering I love spicy food. The dish has a lot of flavour and I would highly recommend it.

For the satay skewers you can either get 1/2 ($8) or a dozen ($14) and chicken, beef or a mixture (if you are getting a dozen). The skewers are much smaller than I expected and therefore are quite pricey. However in saying that 1/2 dozen is plenty for an entree when sharing with friends due to the large size of the main dishes. The sweet and spicy peanut sauce is amazing and they give you plenty of it. I preferred the chicken skewers however the beef were also nice.

One thing that I love about Mamak is the presentation of the food.
Once again Mamak didn’t disappoint and the service was a lot quicker this time which was a bonus!
Do you like spicy food?

Gluten free banoffee pie

I’m back… and I am going to start making up for my absense with this amazing recipe for gluten free banoffee pie. Since moving to London I haven’t done much baking except when I went through a phase of making gluten free banana bread (recipe to come). However more recently I moved house and my
Wagamama

I used to eat at Wagamama all the time and loved it. But after being diagnosed with coeliac disease I visited Wagamama in Sydney and found out that I could only eat one item on the menu and it was far from the best dish I had had there. So I didn’t go back for
Nourish, Banff

Just when you thought there could not be anymore restaurants in Banff with gluten free options. I have one more for now… and it’s a good one. It took me 10 months of living in Banff and finally in my last month of living there I got around to visiting Nourish. I had been told
Baja Cantina, Glebe – gluten free friendly
about 6 months ago - No comments
I absolutely love Mexican food. The great thing about Mexican is that they often use corn tortilla’s and if not they usually at least have them as an option. So it is not surprising that after the first visit to Baja Cantina in Glebe, where they give you the option of corn or flour tortilla’s,
The Elk & Oarsman, Banff

As I have mentioned before there are a number of places with gluten free options in Banff, and The Elk and Oarsman Pub & Grill is no exception to this. I was very excited to find that The Elk & Oarsman actually have a separate two page (!!) gluten free menu. I usually go to the

There is a really awesome website in Canada, Well.ca, which has a great selection of gluten free foods and delivery is free! Whilst there is a pretty good selection of gluten free foods available at the two supermarkets in Banff there are some things I just cannot get my hands on. For these products I
Parmesan Crusted Chicken

I saw an advertisement on TV for Hellmann’s Mayonnaise with this recipe. Whilst it sounded, let’s say interesting, I was intrigued and had to try it. The first time I tried this recipe I bought some gluten free rice crumbs but I found them too crunchy with an almost sand type texture. The next time
Fish & vegetable coconut curry

One night I had planned to make the chickpea curry I saw on Scandi Foodie’s blog however I left the recipe at work (and I didn’t have internet at home at the time) so I had to put my thinking cap on to try and remember the ingredients for this recipe. Then I realised that
Sugar Lounge, Manly Beach

This was another daily deal site purchase – a voucher for a meal at Sugar Lounge at Manly Beach. A couple of friends and I headed down one sunny Sydney day to indulge in some fancy food and drink (well fancier than most of my dining out choices). First things first – cocktails! I went for
Win a bag of Matcha tea from Zen Green Tea

I have to say I go through my stages with green tea. There are times when I drink it quite often and then I usually go off it again. One of the things that puts me off is that if you don’t brew it for the exact right amount of time it can taste really

I didn’t even notice you taking photos, Petra! haha
Great post, the chicken dish I had was delicious too (but it contained gluten). I totally agree with presentation, all the dishes come out of the kitchen perfect!
I’m looking forward to our next lunch! xx

I can’t believe I still haven’t been to the Chatswood one and I even live on the North Shore!
Looks great Petra, glad there’s gluten-free dishes on the menu as well!
