Sparrow nested on William Street in 1993, and is still thriving, with numerous awards tucked under its wing and hardly a table to be had on Friday and Saturday evenings. It's the rare combination of cheap, quality food and cheerful service that keeps this humble little Indonesian eatery flying high. Owner and front man Wei Chin offers warm Indonesian hospitality in quantities as generous as the dishes his wife Noni Lee creates. Cooking in the traditional home-style of her homeland, Noni's speciality is ikan balado (fish fillet in a red capsicum and chilli sauce), but her Balinese-style chicken in thick curry sauce and beef rending prove just as popular with Sparrow's flock of regulars. None of the dishes exceed the $9 mark, with many dishes costing less than $5. It's cash only too, so give the credit card a night off and just take along a few notes, together with a bottle of your preferred plonk, as there's no corkage charge either. Although there is a good selection of non-alcoholic liquid refreshment to wash it all down with, most notably the pleasantly sweet and mildly flavoured ice cendol, traditionally known as the 'Indonesian cappuccino'.
