Singular outlet for Melbourne:  Satay grilled over charcoal in the unusual lamb as well as the usual chicken - no beef.  Halal.  Ketupat at 50 cents a serve (although not gently fragranced with banana leaf).  All this at $8 for 10 sticks (currently - however do not judge the serving sizes by the offerings at less authentic locations).

Delicious nasi ayam (chicken rice) in the Malay style - ie. fried chicken.  Nasi briyani.  And other yummy stuff.  Run by Singaporean Malays - definitely worth a visit.  Well, that's if you believe the crowds of Malay, Malaysian and other similar food lovers who visit as well.

Name: Singapore Satay
Address: 162 Clayton Road Clayton, VIC
Directions: Just after North Road traffic lights, on the left as you away from Monash University - park out front if there are any spots left, or take the first left.
Comments: Seats maybe 20 people at a time so be prepared to wait or perhaps get takeaway.  However seats have been available whenever we've visited. 

Next:  To add to the attractiveness of this location - the Sri Lankan outlet next door does Thosai (in at least 3 styles), idly, string hoppers & kotthu roti. Tried the egg & onion thosai combo yesterday ($6.50) - delicous - 1 thosai ("Dho-sah" sometimes, "Tho-seh" other times - I'm confused), 1 vadai ("Vha-deh" I think), 2 idly ("eedlee"), sambar & dhal (creamy coconut sauce and vegetable - dhal curry sauce). 

Name: Thosai's
Address: 163 Clayton Road Clayton VIC
Directions: as above
Comments: 3 tables seating perhaps 6 people.  Take away was popular.
