Verdict: Perfect. Meltingly tender beef rendang, spicy sambal and a runny egg, all soaked up by the coconut rice. I need to come back.
It's my first day at work in Melbourne, and I'm so happy to be here. For lunch, we headed to Roti Bar.
We have good Malaysian cuisine in Vancouver, but each time I try a Southeast Asian restaurant in Melbourne, I realize how much better the food can be.
I ordered the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang ($20.50), and it's perfect. The beef is so tender, but the real winner is mixing everything together: the fiery sambal, the runny golden egg, and the fragrant rice soaking up all that saucy goodness.

I definitely need to come back. My colleague kept mentioning that they have an unlimited deal on weekends, and it turns out to be their Saturday Banana Leaf Rice, so that's the perfect excuse.
