PappaRich July, 2015

PappaRich is part of a chain of restaurants which offer Malaysian style food.  The one in Canberra is usually very busy at lunch time and has the odd honour of being one of the few restaurants which will not seat anyone if they are waiting for someone to arrive.

The menu is outside so you can determine if there is anything that appeals to your taste and includes a wide range of noodles, satays, rice and bread dishes including eggs and bread.  Some of the drinks include Teh Tarik (hot milk tea) and Kopi O (strong black coffee with sugar).

Sammy’s Kitchen July, 2015

Anyone who has lived in Canberra for longer than 6 months would have either heard of or eaten at Sammy’s Kitchen.  The food is a mix of Chinese and Malaysian cuisine offering various temptations to anyone who eats there.  Some argue the Chef’s favourites are the best while other just enjoy going in large groups and sharing a selection of dishes.

Sammy’s does not offer lunch specials but as this blog is meant to cover Food in Canberra, it is a necessary inclusion.

We were lucky enough to be joined by another person, who will not be commenting in this blog, but it meant we could order a larger selection of dishes.  Also, in keeping with a new policy we ordered some menu items we had never tried before.
