Masak Masak Yarraville

Singaporean-Malay$

There’s a feeling of merry-making at this former butcher shop, where an ex-Copper Pot chef draws influence from Singapore. There’s kaya toast with thick slabs of butter, beef rendang, breakfast laksa and tiger rolls stuffed with pork belly. There’s also sirap bandung, made with rose syrup, and the espresso is on point too.
