Alice’s Makan

Alice Tan is Sydney’s Sandra Dee, going from Thornleigh sweetheart restaurateur to funky inner-city fast-food dominator, putting up bold red, white and black signage declaring her food ‘DAMN GOOD!’, and demanding diners just ‘EAT AND GO!’ So better shape up, because you need this menu of hawker food, including dishes like spicy mee rebus – hokkien noodles in gravy-thick curry sauce with succulent chicken – and fragrant nasi goreng. To your sweet tooth you must be true, so grab Alice’s signature kuih (Malaysian sweets) like rainbow-layered kuih lapis, or sticky rice and coconut custard kuih serimuka. This is the one you want.
