Sunda’s beef rice-paper rolls

This dish is head chef Khanh Nguyen's favourite thing to eat, hands down.

Steak, carrots, curry sauce. This dish from Sunda in Melbourne may sound simple, but it’s anything but. Want to cook like a chef? Time to step up.

Fried chicken and waffles – it's a combo that just works, and is rendered here with Southeast Asian flavours courtesy of chef Khanh Nguyen.

This vibrant salad by Melbourne restaurant Sunda fires on all cylinders.

It's the Melbourne restaurant's simplified version of the Lao-style salad, with crisp and crunch from the deep-fried jasmine rice.

A beloved staff meal at Melbourne restaurant Sunda.

Chef Khanh Nguyen learnt this recipe during his time at Sydney's Mr Wong, and now it's a hit at staff meals at his Melbourne restaurant.

When Sunda's Khanh Nguyen says this is one of the best curries he's had, we need no further convincing.
