Shop 16, Martin Place Shopping Circle, Sydney NSW 2000
For those of you who used to visit the popular '28' located in the Imperial food court under CentrePoint, you'll be glad to know they've popped up at Martin Place Shopping Circle. I guess they had to go somewhere after the current Westfields renovations started. I used to only get their Char Kway Teow and it's still pretty much cooked the same way with a dark soy sauce look, some charring and ample pieces of chicken and a couple of large prawns. Prices seem to have crept up a little but still reasonable for the quality and size. There was a fair bit of chilli in it so ask for mild if your shy of the heat factor. The Chicken Rice was quite good and not too dry. I hope to try their laksa and har mee soon to compare to others in the city. Seating is limited so timing is everything but at least it's a bit nicer than their previous seating arrangements which were quite cramped. If your eating in just take a seat after ordering and they'll bring your order to you.

Two of my favourite Malaysian meals. Yum!
hi joey, these are the 2 dishes i usually check first to see what they are like in any new place. Next two are Laksa and Har Mee. If they all pass then it's a pretty good place in my books.
The char kwei teow sure looks good!
Love a good plate of char kway teow. Will head over to No 28 for lunch one of these days. Thanks for sharing :)
hi 3 hungry tummies, went again the next day for laksa and noticed some of the char kway teows ordered weren't as dark soy looking so might depend when you go for who cooks it?
hi foodwink, hope you enjoy if you get a chance to try it. let me know what you think :-)
I agree. Yummy cuisine in the CBD is pretty damm good. Hope you don't mind, I inserted a link to this from my blog. :-)
