Malay-Chinese Takeaway

The verdict

The Sydney CBD hasn't always maintained a vast supply of good eateries. Nor has there traditionally been great Asian cuisine outside of the Haymarket Chinatown precinct. But for nearly three decades, Malay-Chinese Takeaway has been supplying, as its name suggests, affordable and authentic Malaysian/Chinese dishes to eat in or take back to your desk. Its most popular dishes are its laksas (with just about every meat and vegetarian options, too), prawn noodle soup and Hainan chicken rice, although there are daily specials to keep your taste buds guessing.
