Papparich

Malaysian cuisine is a multicultural melange of influences from Thailand, China, Indonesia and India. If you’re not already acquainted with Malay food, the PappaRich chain are a great place to start your journey. Listing over 160 items, the menu at PappaRich can be overwhelming unless you’re dining with a group where you can really go to town. If you’re eating solo, the Pappa Special: Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken and Sambal Prawns ($16.50) gives you a nicely balanced meal, with lots of diversity. The two dishes are presented with an array of sliced cucumber, fried anchovies and peanuts, and a hard-boiled egg around a mound of fragrant coconut rice, accentuated by a dab of sambal (a rounded chilli sauce). Pappa Chicken Rice with Steamed Chicken ($13.90) also works as an inexpensive meal-for-one, with tasty chicken rice, chicken soup, bean sprouts, and boiled chicken slices with chilli/ginger and dark sticky soy sauces for dipping.

The food at PappaRich has made Malaysia a new addition to my countries to visit when able. This amazing family style restaurant has a huge selection of dishes and a warm atmosphere. We were as part of a large group to celebrate the reopening of the store. As such we managed to try a lot of the dishes on the menu. We loved the mix and fusion of flavours that made up the menu and how hard it would be to pick between the different options.

Our favourites were definitely the satay and roti dishes. These were large spreads with chicken, lamb or beef drenched in thick and tasty sauces and curries. The chicken and lamb skewers were definitely a hit. If you are looking for something individual then you may want to grab any of their laksas or noodle ...read more

I have the nasi lemak, milk tea ice and roti prata, as malaysian food is consider serving a decent food but definitely not a top notch.

Not the biggest fan of the soups here so I will stick with the roti instead. Don't take bookings in Friday nights despite it being almost dead when arriving. Odd.

I have been itching to try this place!

Expanding its wings from Broadway, Paparich has opened in the west (yessss) and I was down the a food face-stuffing with some friendly company.
I did find it weird that they don’t take bookings on Friday and Saturday nights, however despite arriving at 7pm, the place was pretty quiet and we can no issues getting a table for 10.

If you’re anything like me, you’re bound to get excited and over-order (one of everything please) so I ended up getting Rotis, rice dishes,, satay sticks and laksa’s. The Rotis which come with some curries, daal and spices was definitely a winner for me, however since I was the one to also order a chicken satay, I found it extremely heavy since they used a thick egg noodle.

Despite having some star dishes, everything was delicious and I’ll know exactly what to order next time. Will be back!
