    If only that was the standard pricing. Hawker food in Melb is no longer at hawker prices. Cant believe in the CBD now most places charging over $20 for fried hawker style noodles or a laksa.

            The place I go to in brisbane is $21 for large size, which is about right for adult. Claims no MSG used, and minimum 36 hours broth simmer. I’d be flat out simmering it half a day let alone 36 hours…

    Agreed not running out to spend $12 as a special price, the quality is pretty hit and miss anyway at that place and westernised.

    Places like Little Singapore used to be good about 10y ago, massive seafood Laksa normal price was about $13.

    It's marketed as "hawker food" primarily as a point of reference but it's served in a restaurant environment. Whether the service is up to scratch is another discussion but don't price a meal based on the fact that you can get it cheaper in some dinky back alley in Asia. It's the same as paying $15-$25 for a "restaurant burger"; yes you can get it cheaper at MacJacks but you're paying a premium because apparently a professional chef is presenting it to you on a plate with fancy tissues.

    Same with a $30 pizza from an Italian restaurant.

      At the risk of being down voted - I'm actually a fan of Pappa Rich. I think their food is decently flavoured and they have pretty generous portions - I've never left still feeling hungry.
      Sure it may not be the best Malaysian food in Syd but I don't understand all the hate they get.

      • SpeedRunnerLink on 23/08/2025 - 09:58

        Papparich used to be decent when they first started. But the problem is now its all microwave reheated food. Only thing fresh is the Roti. as well as the service size of the curries are a lot smaller than they once were. Combine that with the fact that there are a lot more malaysian restaurants out there…

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 23/08/2025 - 18:12

            @lonewolf: The one i go to is freshly made and decent.

            But at the end of the day if you want to compare, then compare say to Macdonalds which is $14-15 for a Large big mac meal.

            They aint any better in regards to "freshness"

            The places i go to for more "better quality" Nasi Lemak usually is closer to $20

              @SpeedRunnerLink: Freshly made ? Which stores are these, Every Pappa rich store i have been to are the same, they are all following their processes and nasi Lemak in all of them are microwave reheated. I am pretty sure this was even confirmed by some of the workers in a previous Papparich thread. The Nasi Lemak in Papparich is $20+. There are much better malaysian restaurants at similar prices to Papparich these days if not cheaper. Laksas at Papparich are tiny and not worth the price compared to a lot of other Malaysian restaurants with better laksas.

                Seems like you just have a major gripe with them which is fine but its still irrelevant to the $12 deal.

                • lonewolf on 23/08/2025 - 18:59

                  @SpeedRunnerLink: I actually used to love Papparich as i had tried them before they came to sydney and australia. What I am really disappointed with is how downhill they have gone over the years from when they first started and from how they used to be in Malaysia. I havent had them in malaysia for a while so not sure if they have gone downhill there too. I was very excited about the prospect of them coming to sydney and used to go there a bit.

                  I am just stating the facts about Papparich. I brought up their normal price, because you stated and i quote "The places i go to for more "better quality" Nasi Lemak usually is closer to $20" well Papparich nasi Lemak is $20. So you are basically saying the other places are better quality for cheaper / same price as Papparichs standard nasi lemak price. That means you are actually agreeing with me. This is a special deal. So you should then compare it to when the other places have a deal on as well…?

                  There are many other better malaysian restaurants these days in sydney.

                    However I dont know about you but Papparich has never been that great in Malaysia and ran by foreign staff that arent even Malaysian and tastes like crap.
