Sedap - Chatswood

The food at this restaurant is delicious and affordable. The menu includes standard dishes like Nasi Lemak, curries, and noodles. There is nothing particularly unique or outstanding, but the food is tasty. Be prepared to search for a table, as it can get busy. The restaurant is small, but clean and well-maintained.

While my son was busy competing in games in Chatswood, I decided to explore Westfield and stumbled upon this delightful little shop called sedap. I decided to give it a try after seeing some Asian customers enjoying their meals. I have no regrets. Despite having a limited menu, this small outlet served delicious food. I ordered Teh Tarik and Curry Chee Cheong Fun, which were absolutely delicious. It may not be as good as the ones in Kuala Lumpur, but it was still a treat for me. Surprisingly, the meal only cost me $10, which is very rare.

The location of sedap in Chatswood Westfield Food Court is fantastic. While there are many typical fast food options available, sedap stands out with their beautifully fresh and delicious dishes that are prepared in just a few minutes. Their Harmee, which consists of prawns, pork slices, and veggie noodles in a spicy prawn soup, is particularly delicious. I used to drive to North Sydney for Harmee, but the quality has declined. Sometimes I would even drive to Sydney CBD, but parking there is expensive and limited. Luckily, there is free parking at Westfield Chatswood, where you can enjoy a bowl of deliciously spicy Harmee. The Chee Cheong Fun is a great snack or appetizer, with smooth flat noodles and sweet chili sauces. While tasty, I have yet to find the authentic KL style version where you mix various ingredients with your sweet chili sauces for the ultimate 3 or 4pm snack. This unique style is only found in KL.

I have eaten at least 5 times in this place and tried various dishes. I am European and cannot really judge authenticity, but I love Malay food, it is now my firm favorite, and so I have tried many dishes from many places in Sydney, but I was not in Malaysia... I'll put the food on my own palate. I don't like very spicy food, so I ask that all my dishes are mild to moderate. I love Laksa and I think this place makes a good laksa. Her cha kwai teow is a little too oily for my taste, but I liked the lapsang sausage in it... normally it has chicken and prawn and sometimes cabbage, but not at this joint. I love the Hainanese chicken rice and this place makes a good one. Your Te tarik seems to be made from a powder because I always have a stomach pain and it looks strange orange in color... And they no longer serve their drinks in tin cups, who think that prison can be relieved... lol. I didn't care how in my country they were used by people during the camping, so it brings back memories of childhood... I like this place, but I think they have to ask less. Also, it would be cool if they could stay open when shops are close to a food dish means they are not for dinner, just lunch... oh and stop charging people for plastic containers! What a joke.

A regular at Sedap, there are so many great dishes to choose from. The Char Kuey Teow has lard and chinese sausage which you cant even get in Malaysia anymore! The Rojak is heavenly and the Wad Tan Hor has that oh so flavourful burnt wok taste. But my favourite is the Assam Laksa. Not as spicy as the Penang version but just as wonderful. It's not on the menu but you can ask for Teh Halia (Ginger Tea). They occasionally have it available. Tea is served in a big tin mug so you can share.
