PETALING JAYA: When Malaysian barber turned restaurateur Robin Annadass opened ‘Kedai Mamak’ in New Zealand, he kept his expectations realistic. Little did he expect to be faced with hordes of hungry customers wolfing down his home-cooked nasi lemak and roti canai with gusto every time he opened for business.
Located at Three Kings Plaza, Kedai Mamak is known for its traditional Malaysian breakfasts and lunches. “My mum runs an Indian restaurant in Kedah. Ever since I was a young boy, I would watch in fascination as she cooked up an amazing variety of Indian dishes,” explained Robin, who added that helping her out with her business taught him how to run his own.Roti canai may cost a measly RM2 in Malaysia but in New Zealand, this simple flat bread could set you back a whopping NZ$12, said Robin.
According to Robin, Kedai Mamak is the first and only restaurant in New Zealand offering this type of Malaysian breakfast.Once breakfast is done by 11am, Robin and his team rush for the lunch service made up of Malaysian mixed-rice favourites such as curries, stir-fried vegetables and sambals of every manner.
“You’ll be surprised at how much New Zealanders love spicy food,” he said, recalling how the sambal he cooked initially had hardly any kick to it, at least by Malaysian standards. All that changed when customers requested to amp up the spice level.“The locals here have visited Malaysia before and are big fans of our food. We have even received requests to open Kedai Mamak in other parts of New Zealand. Perhaps in the future,” said Robin, full of enthusiasm.
