Malaysian Kitchen - Boroondara

The Hokkien Char is delicious and has the authentic taste! The bak kut teh could be better with heavier herbs. Overall the food are above average compared to similar joint.

This Malaysian restaurant is a favorite among families, offering a wide variety of dishes on their extensive menu. The atmosphere is laid-back and uncomplicated, but the food is consistently flavorful and expertly made. Prices are reasonable and the service is prompt and courteous.

I went to this restaurant with some friends for dinner last weekend. We ordered the salted fish fried rice, sambal spinach, sizzling plate beef, sizzling plate egg tofu, and curry fish head. The salted fish fried rice was tasty and cooked perfectly, with a subtle taste of salted fish. The sizzling plate beef was thinly sliced and tender, but a bit too sweet for my liking. The curry fish head had plenty of vegetables and flavorful coconut curry, although not much meat. The sambal spinach had a nice balance of flavors. My favorite dish was the sizzling plate egg tofu, with soft tofu sitting on a bed of egg - it was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back and try more dishes next time.

We stumbled across this place when the restaurant we originally wanted to dine at turned out to be closed for renovations. Despite being a cold, rainy Wednesday this place was buzzing. <br/ <br/ We ordered the seafood laksa, pad thai and roti with peanut sauce. The laksa was absolutely delicious, and the roti was very nice. The pad thai was below average in taste and the noodles were a little undercooked. Service was very quick and friendly. The food portions were very generous we entered starving and left super full! Overall we’re happy we found this place and we’ll be coming back again.

Would definitely recommend the fish head laksa or fish soup noodles or anybody who likes this traditional dish. Lots of meaty pieces and strong broth! You really know it’s a great local eat with all the locals swarming this place on weekends! Come at lunch for the lunch menu which comes with complimentary drink such as teh tarik!
