Sedap

Been here a couple of times as it is convenient. Selling Malaysian Food. I have noticed a significant deterioration in standard. Take the Wat Tan Hor for instance. There is less ingredients now and the dish is watery! If I notice a skimping on ingredients, then others must too. I am not sure why business do it. Obviously the savings must be significant to risk losing business. Businesses need to survive and they can only do so with an edge over their competitors. Price, quality and service are paramount.

Our first outing here and tried the Nasi Lemak Rendang and I’m glad that I did! Mostly buy it at Indonesian restaurants and this one here was brilliant and big portions too!

Great food, the menu have a good range,
Penang Char Kuey Teow it is nice taste .
Is lovely place.

Great Malaysian food in Chatswood food court? I hardly believe it myself. I would highly recommend trying this place if you are walking around Chatswood and not sure of where you would like to go.
The menu has a good range of options. We opted for the following three items and enjoyed them all;
1. Penang Char Kuey Teow ($ 12) — classic stir fried noodle dish was very tasty. Probably ⁸⁄₁₀ of all the variants of this dish I’ve tried. You would be hard pressed to find better noodles in the food court area. The spoon of Sambal on the side gives you the option of kicking up the heat.
2. Chicken Laksa ($ 11) — I’m a laksa snob and I’ve got some pretty high standards when it comes to Laksa. I can say that I was happily surprised by the great quality (⁹⁄₁₀). I am often worried about ordering laksa from new places and doubly so in food courts. More often than not you get some bland, coconut milk slurry that disappoints. Sedap’s is actually probably one of the best I’ve had. I appreciated the spoon of Sambal on top and the two types of noodles.
3. Kopi Tarik (ice coffee) ($ 2.50) — served either hot or cold this drink is poured at a height (pulled) into a decent sizes cup. The thing I should point out is that the cup size was very generous. I’ve eaten at other Malaysian restaurants (cough, mamak) where you finish your drink in a few minutes. This was a proper drink that was just the right amount for how spicy the food was.
I’m going to comment on two items I’ve read about this location (from both Unilocal and Urbanspoon reviewers);
— they have card/​EFTPOS facilities, my server pay passed my card without issue.
— it’s a food court setting, so don’t bitch and moan about the ambiance or problems with seating. Wake up to the fact that you are in a Westfield shopping centre.
Sedap means delicious in Malay and Indonesian and I can say its a clever and truthful name. I’ll be going back!

If you ignore the ambiance which personally I’d rather just go somewhere to eat, then this place really delivers.
— VALUE FOR MONEY: $ 10 for a bowl of Assam Laksa is very Hard to beat. Cash only as far as I can tell but its not a big deal here because its very affordable.
— AUTHENTICITY/​TASTE: Assam Laksa was really good (on par with Petaling Street in Haymarket).
— SERVICE: Yes, if you are «dining in» they do bring the food out to you assuming you are close by. I didn’t expect that but its great when you are holding on to spots in the food court.
I’d most likely come back if I’m over the other side of the bridge.
Another fun fact: «Sedap» means delicious in Malay. This place lives up to its name for sure.
