On Sunday night Alice and I went out to Chillipadi Mamak Kopitiam in Flemington for dinner. Because it was 8pm on a Sunday night it was pretty quiet, only about 4 other tables had people on them and it is one of the few which are open late on a Sunday in Melbourne.
The Flemington Chillipadi is one of the largest restaurants in the area (not including the bars), possibly either smaller than or same size as Laska King. It has only 5 seater tables; if it is super busy and there are only 2 of you, it is expected that you share a table with others.
The menu has a lot of options, making it rather hard to decide although it meant there was really something for everyone. Our starter was 3 curry puffs for $5.90, as well as my Lycheetini and Alice's Ribena and Vodka. For the main, unfortunately picked the only thing on the menu which wasn't available, so it was lucky there were plenty of options. I ended up just having a small butter chicken with coconut rice, vegetables and a papadum. Alice got the Mee Goreng. Both meals were 10.90 which was definitely worth what we got. After ordering our meals, we got everything within 5-10mins. The chicken in my meal was very tender just falling apart, there was no spice to it at all like butter chicken should be, but it definitely wasn't bland. The vegetables included cabbage and carrots which were aromatic and just gave it that little bit extra to the meal in a whole.
The Mee Goreng that Alice got, was quite large and she could not stop eating it; it was that good. After eating approximately half of it, she was very full was sad she couldn't finish it. We were probably sitting and chatting for about 20mins and in that time Alice ate another quarter of the meal. I pinched this photo from the net because my phone battery died before I was able to take a photo of hers, I swear it was much bigger than this.
In total the night cost us $44.70 and considering the speedy service, very tasty meals and refreshing drinks I think is DAMN GOOD. After we paid and left, I was checking the receipt and noticed that Alice was only charged $4 for her drink because it wasn't on the menu... which I think was a mistake considering how large her drink was. Happy mistake for us!
