That's so wonderful to hear this place you can pay as you wish, and that is such a beautiful concept so that people who may not have a lot of money, are able to eat some healthy food, at a low cost. It makes sense they would have restaurants all over the world.. That good karma keeps coming back to them, so they can grow and help more people!!
Love the purpose and concept of this cafe, makes sense that if the customers are coming from unfortunate backgrounds, they will pay less than what the food is worth. Good on them! Hope the more fortunate customers can at least give more to cover the food for the people who pay less 🙏 Business like this needs to be continued and maintained because it gives a big impact to the community 😊
So heartwarming to see the Pay as you wish concept that these guys are doing, to help those that are in need, and those who are willing to give could contribute as well. Kudos to the restaurant and these guys!
The pay as you wish concept is so interesting. It's a really good idea for a buffet since not everyone eats the same amount of food and it also helps the ones who are in need
@@nickandhelmi Of course. Nothing is quite d same compared to your own home country. But I guess it's good that there r still choices of Malaysian food in Sydney.
What a wonderful concept !! God bless the owner profusely !!! While the needy&underpreviledge can pay less, the priviledged and generous ones has oppurtunity to compensate & do charity in a noble way.
This is such a great find guys! Why was this restaurant not up on my google search when i was looking for halal restaurant in Sydney :'( I think ive tried them in one of their restaurants in Istanbul and they also had that beef lungs on their buffet (not pay as you wish tho) and it was delicious! I wish I knew they have a branch in Sydney! Also the pay as you wish concept is great. Do you reckon if theres any other cafe or restaurants in Sydney doing the same concept? And yay finally a vlog on halal and non-middle eastern foods from Sydney and an interview in bahasa! Wish Helmi could get some more of the jajanan pasar. Thank you for the effort and I cant wait to see the vlog on that Japanese onsen in Blue Mountains. Stay safe! (P/s: I wonder how much did you guys pay for the buffet in the end? lol)
Awww thank you gazillions with this lovely comment 🥰 I don't think there is other pay as you wish buffet place in Sydney, so definitely hidden gem here 😉 Definitely halal food is not only middle eastern, so much choices. We paid $30 for each plate haha, surprisingly so filling & couldn't eat much 😆 Oh the Blue Mountains was short break without camera😂maybe we should go back to do vlog, it was sooo nice and love to be back again
This place looks so good! We've been looking for a good Malay restaurant in Sydney as we just returned home after being in Malaysia for 3 months. The food here looks so amazing and it's a great concept allowing everyone access to this delicious food while paying what they can.
Thank you so much😊 on other video we also have list of Malaysian restaurants that pretty good. They're almost same taste like in M'sia except the price 😅
I discovered this channel on Reddit r/Sydney and so glad that I did. Insta-subscribe. Nick and Helmi are such great RUclipsrs and the content is so precious for Sydney Siders!
You can never finish a meal with a dessert. Bears has a sweet tooth like Helmi. Never feel bad for dancing while eating a delicious dessert. We loved hearing Helmi speak her native language, it was really beautiful to hear. Glad to see that you both really enjoyed this food and had a great experience! Great video and love you both to the mother effin' moon!! :)
Greetings Nick & Helmi ! I am Watli your greatest admirer. Love everything about yourselves & your videos ! I am a Balinese born person who grew up in Sydney 😊
Hi Watli, thank you so SO MUCH, greatly appreciate it🙌 yes Balinese!! my dad (nick) lives in Bali, but I can't speak Balinese, only Indonesian, not as fluent as Helmi but pretty good :) do you speak Bahasa/Balinese?
Of course, those languages are a piece of cake to me ! l also cook the best most delicious home made Balinese style dishes....do you guys want to give it a try ???
@@watlilyo4909 omg like what? 🤤 do u have restaurant watli? I think cuma ada Ubud restaurant in Sydney that do balinese food. Havent been there for long time haha
Haha no l don’t have a restaurant. I just know how to cook them by my natural instincts without getting taught by soneone else haha. That depends if Nick is a good boy or not ... if he’s not, l would cook something gorgeous for Helmi instead, she is always a well behaved good girl 😁👍
This looked amazing! I don't think I've ever had lung before. It was so cool to hear you speaking Indonesian at the end, maybe you guys could do a video of you cooking food you had growing up as children. Also Helmi, try cooking bamia! It's an Egyptian/ Middle Eastern dish where we use whole okra so no slimy cutting is involved!
The Malaysian fried beef lung dish is amazing, gotta try if u can hehe.. Thank you, I never heard bamia before actually so keen to try. Love to speak more Indonesians in video when we can 😎
Another great top Helmi! lol LAZY!! wowww pay as you wish is a great concept. Nick your roti curry looks yummy as!! the meat is soooo soft! "Helmi approves" haha. ocra is the best cooked with sambal chilli. it does get really slimy lol the huge grin for desser lol. 140 cafes around the world!!! Very very thoughtful! Such a nice person paying $50 - $60!
OMG I enjoyed this video soooo much!! all that food reminds me of my mum's cooking too.. she loves deep frying paru hehe plz do more halal food guys :)
All the food looked amazing. From the Dal and the lamb curry, and the fish curry, and tomato rice. We have never had Malay food before.. but it looks similar to some Indian cuisines. Never tried beef lung, but glad to hear that it was tasty. We love food with so many sauces to dip your roti in!
Nom! I want to try all the food there! The lamb looks so tender, the curry looks so tasty! 🤤🤤🤤 I never try Paru/ beef lung before but it looks so good and crispy! 🤩
Hey Nick and Helmi! Helmi's shirt is too cute with "Lazy" on it! LOLOL!! We don't know where you find all these adorable T-shirts. YES.. we agree early birds get the worms for sure. That's so awesome you went to the cheapest buffet in Sydney, and that it's also Halal!
Lychee mint lemon sounds amazing. You can’t go wrong with that bread and curry meat. I don’t know about beef lung but everything else on Helmi’s looks so good too.
So, guys, when you go eat at a buffet like that, do you choose your favourite dish as first round? or eat some random stuff first and leave the good for later?
For okra first wash it n pat dry with paper towel .. . Let it dry then ...cut it n whn u fry put abit more oil ... few minutes it will slime but once its cooked slime will go
Mmmmmm that curry chicken 🐔 and roti is the winner 🏆 😂 helmi cooking ocra sounds like it'll need to be a video. No way you are giving up cake? Look at that tiny piece of dessert you ate 😅
$1 all you can eat food! 😍 Yessss that’s right up on our alley haha But will someone give $1 though looking at those delicious dishes and seeing how complex the food is cooked, especially the curries? 🤔
i truly think noone who has money to live by will pay only a $1 for all these wonderful meals, it would probably be homeless people who pay so little as that is what they can afford, most people I am guessing would pay around $10 - $15
That's so wonderful to hear this place you can pay as you wish, and that is such a beautiful concept so that people who may not have a lot of money, are able to eat some healthy food, at a low cost. It makes sense they would have restaurants all over the world.. That good karma keeps coming back to them, so they can grow and help more people!!
AGREE! We found this is really amazing concept and hope nobody ever abuse it. What they do is to help communities in need 🥰🌟
Love how this spot has a lot of Malay dishes. That is something we were missing in NYC - we mostly had Nyonya or Malaysian Chinese restaurants
Food and Footprints- Greg and Jumi greg you would demolish this place 😅
Love their concept - it definitely is like the hospitality we’ve had in Malaysia so far. Great video, guys!
Food and Footprints- Greg and Jumi 🤗
They do have the same concept in Malaysia. Same name cafe in Pelangi Damansara pay as ur wish every friday.
Hi Greg and Jumi. Are you back In NYC now. Glad to know you both love Malaysian food.
Love the purpose and concept of this cafe, makes sense that if the customers are coming from unfortunate backgrounds, they will pay less than what the food is worth.
Good on them!
Hope the more fortunate customers can at least give more to cover the food for the people who pay less 🙏
Business like this needs to be continued and maintained because it gives a big impact to the community 😊
Yes agreed , lets hope people dont abuse it.
So heartwarming to see the Pay as you wish concept that these guys are doing, to help those that are in need, and those who are willing to give could contribute as well. Kudos to the restaurant and these guys!
Yep definitely great initiative. Hope nobody abuse but instead help each other 💕
Great concept and well mission! knowing that they have 140 cafes are amazing!
Iya hope ppl don't abuse it
The owner have a heart of gold .. blessed him
Yes🙏🏻 we believe all blessings come to generous people 😊
@@nickandhelmi 💗💗💗
Awesome concept of generosity with this restaurant. The food looked amazing too!
Yup nailed both food & concept 😊
The pay as you wish concept is so interesting. It's a really good idea for a buffet since not everyone eats the same amount of food and it also helps the ones who are in need
Yup and honestly we only ate 1 plate each and already full 😂
Thanks for this wonderful video. Very nice to see nasi campur n all d common delicious Malaysian dishes in Sydney.
Thank you Yasin. So much good Malaysian restaurant here😊 but nothing can match the original flavour in M'sia🥺
@@nickandhelmi Of course. Nothing is quite d same compared to your own home country. But I guess it's good that there r still choices of Malaysian food in Sydney.
Thank you for covering Ikhwan Cafe.
Our pleasure🤗
What a wonderful concept !! God bless the owner profusely !!! While the needy&underpreviledge can pay less, the priviledged and generous ones has oppurtunity to compensate & do charity in a noble way.
You guys are literally goals!! I’ve always wanted to migrate to Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much!!🙏🏻 we really appreciated 😁

@@watlilyo4909 awww thank you Watli hahaa😂 u should sell them at this FB group "the rocks" where all Indo🤩 we normally order home cooked meals
This looked amazing! I don't think I've ever had lung before.

The Malaysian fried beef lung dish is amazing, gotta try if u can hehe.. Thank you, I never heard bamia before actually so keen to try. Love to speak more Indonesians in video when we can 😎
The food in the buffet looks so good! There's way too many of my favorite dishes there it would be so hard to pick 😋
Ya we love everything! Feels like home cooks for us haha

Yes we hope too 🙌😁, they are such lovely people
The food quality looks really really good.
Home cooked meals 😋
Pay as you wish sounds awesome! Never tried Malaysian food but craving it so bad!
Malaysian food is sooo good guys😋

This place is awesome for you guys to try out a good range of halal Malaysian food!
Delicious🌟
Nom! I want to try all the food there! The lamb looks so tender, the curry looks so tasty! 🤤🤤🤤 I never try Paru/ beef lung before but it looks so good and crispy! 🤩
I missed paru/beef lung and so surprised they have them here 🤤

Very nice restaurant concept. Would love to try it if something like this is in Singapore
Singapore is already so cheap for food. Hawker center 🤩
Lychee mint lemon sounds amazing. You can’t go wrong with that bread and curry meat. I don’t know about beef lung but everything else on Helmi’s looks so good too.
It sounds intimidating but beef lung tastes like beef jerky hahaa
Cool! Nice to see you speak the local language 🙂
Yes helmi is fluent haha
Helmi approved lol agh miss you two!'
ahhh miss you too!!!
@@nickandhelmi ❤️❤️
we need to visit this restaurant too! Andjas would love it, quite similar with "Pondok Buyung" yah menu2 nya.
Yesss exactly like Padang food
Omg that's a nice range of dessert!! Omg Nick, how could you, let Helmi have her dessert!
I know right 😭😭😭
Sounds like you would love nasi kandar if you are a fan of mixing everything together, Nick.
Love to try nasi kandar, missed by few weeks only 😆
Iove your channel. Thank you.
Aww thank you jm
So, guys, when you go eat at a buffet like that, do you choose your favourite dish as first round? or eat some random stuff first and leave the good for later?
We eat fave dish straight away 😆 what about you guys?
@@nickandhelmi usually start with something less filling, like a salad or random appetizer. Then bring the big guns 😂
@@LifetimeTravelmates haha XD - i actually had two Roti canai - (see the broll, is clean roti canai hahaha)
Omg chili Paru, looks so good, Puri's favourite! I think we'll go get our nasi lemak with Paru tmr morning!
So good! My (helmi) fave too 😭
Hahaha I love your dance Helmi 💃🧁 anyway you still look cute! but be healthy and take care guys! 💗😊
Thank you Nin 🙏🏻😊
Ikan masak lemak!! Oh man masak lemak is one of the best dishes we’ve eaten so far in Malaysia - sooo good!
The best!!!!😋
🍭 Excellent experience guys! look so delicious! thank you for sharing! greetings! ✌😎
glad you enjoy guys!! :)
Good food, Good price & Good recommendation!
Thank you 🙌🏻 🤩
@@nickandhelmi In fact my son is studying in Sydney nowadays, I have forwarded your video to him and his friend already!😋
Y L aww thank you 😊 🙌🙌
So its like word of mouth to know about this place...there doing such a nice thing .wonder again if there still running .but wow cool find .
Looks great!
Thanks Mathew😊
Ohhh nasi tomato! Now that is a unique option - we just had that at nasi kandar the other day 😋
they had nasi kandar about 2 weeks before we visited. need to go back again when nasi kandar in the menu ahha
Pay as you wish... I like this place like the concept at Lentil As Anything
Yup we visit lentil as anything before but during lockdown so only did take away :)
Love the concept & hopefully the can open another branch in Qatar
Oh have they got an existing branch at Qatar already?
For okra first wash it n pat dry with paper towel .. . Let it dry then ...cut it n whn u fry put abit more oil ... few minutes it will slime but once its cooked slime will go
Thank you sudha😄 i will need to try this otherwise i'll waste them again haha
Helmi, you gotta soak and rinse the okra a few times before cooking it! The slime goes away 😉
Thank you guys! Tip for next time i cook okra 😂
Thanks 🙏 for recommendation 😋😋🇭🇰🇭🇰👍👍👋👋
That's very kind of them :)
Definitely 🙂❤
Nick didn't have breakfast before this, 11am is already brunch 😝
Straight to buffet hahaa
Mmmmmm that curry chicken 🐔 and roti is the winner 🏆 😂 helmi cooking ocra sounds like it'll need to be a video. No way you are giving up cake? Look at that tiny piece of dessert you ate 😅
Hahaa failed cooking with Helmi 😂
This is very interesting. I watch the whole thing.❤️️
stay safe stat connected.
I’ve been here before…. This place is absolutely a 💯
Thanks. Will visit sometimes ...
You should :)
Ayam masak merah is delicious! Bet it would pair nice with the nasi tomato. And beef lung too - yum!
Yeahh yummm😍
$1 all you can eat food! 😍
Yessss that’s right up on our alley haha
But will someone give $1 though looking at those delicious dishes and seeing how complex the food is cooked, especially the curries? 🤔
Some homeless and students gave what they can afford, the interview is at the end of the video
i truly think noone who has money to live by will pay only a $1 for all these wonderful meals, it would probably be homeless people who pay so little as that is what they can afford, most people I am guessing would pay around $10 - $15
Wow great video 👍👍🤝
Cheers, hope you enjoy the video 🙂
