Cooked the way our mother cooked
When our mother cooked for us, she had very little she could put on the table. She used every ingredient she could afford to make our dinners feel like they came from a restaurant. We bring that to everything we cook at Mamaku.
Our family hails from Jakarta, and our cooking carries our Timorese, Chinese and Indonesian heritage. Before Clayfield there was the original Makanan Indonesia in West End, and a Mamaku stall at the Salisbury market.
We honour the techniques our mother used, and a lot of ingredients go into every dish. So we are not a fast food outlet: your meal can take a little longer to arrive.
