Spice Express

It was recommended by a friend the day before that we decided to check it out yesterday. Yesterday wasn't the most beautiful Sunday as it rained in the morning and looked as though the whole was going to be cloudy.

Drove for about 30 minutes to this place and I thought it better be good! The area was packed with cars trying to find a parking spot as this is this place is sort of a mini Chinatown considering the number of Asian restaurants around. It was lunch time after all and this was the kind of situation that you would expect. 

Anyway managed to finally parked our car after a few rounds of circling in the vicinity. Went straight for this place called Spice Express that was recommended to us as I said before. Business was so good that people were already sitting outside the small restaurant and more people were seen lining up to make their orders through the cashier.

It must be our lucky day as we managed to find a spot right at the pathetic corner in front of the counter.

This is the queue during lunch time at Spice Express

First up was Mango Lassi and hot Teh Tarik; perfect for the cool weather yesterday. 

Hot & Cold - Teh Tarik with Mango Lassi

Of course you can never find any Teh Tarik here in Perth that could match anything at home as there is only instant ones available here. But it was good enough just to imagine I was at home. Mango Lassi was always good wherever I have it. To me it is like a drink that could never go wrong.

Fried Spiced Chicken - $2.00 per piece

Next came the delicious fried chicken wing although not spicy enough for me. It was a good entree as we were waiting for the mains to be served.

Then there was this mutated Apom called Egg & Cheese Appum that was probably invented to satisfy the local Aussie market who love cheese. That's probably why it is spelled Appum instead of Apom! Its appearance did look very alien to me with coconut milk and orange colored sugar. Personally, I am not a fan of this particular dish.

Egg & Cheese Appum - $6.50

But somehow my little one seemed to think otherwise.

Then we had the usual Nasi Lemak and Egg Thosai.

Nasi Lemak - Coconut rice with egg, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber and homemade sambal $7.50

Egg Thosai $8.50

We were told by another customer that shared table with us that they only serve Roti Prata on Thursday evening. That is probably the only downside that I couldn't have Roti Prata yesterday.

However, the overall experience was great; at least we could feel at home with this kind of lunch. Picture speaks a thousand words, I let the following photo describes our overall rating of the place:
