Jesse Mulligan recently reviewed Sambal Station for Viva Magazine.
Hidden above Parnell Rd with barely a sign to its name, Sambal Station is almost comically difficult to find. But those who make the effort are rewarded with some of Auckland’s most satisfying Malaysian food.
“The menu is a mix of well-done classics… and it is very, very difficult not to order something like mee goreng when you see it. Theirs is a very good one, the noodles powerfully flavoured with kecap manis and aromatics – as good as something you’d find at a hawker stall, with plump prawns in the mix if you want them.”
