Mama Malaya - Logan City

Hidden treasure just like overseas Doesn't look appealing from the outside but Great! authentic tasting food.

It doesn't look too great from the outside But don't let that fool you Cheap lunch specials and authentic I've had the Har Mee, Hokkien Mee, Nasi Lemak

We had to go to Underwood to get new tyres for my car. Suddenly I realised that we were just up the road from Mama Malaya! After advising Johnk2154 of this predicament, it was a no brainer of where we were having lunch....yippeeee! After the review by Joe K we started with the Roti Canai. Hubby chose the Hor Fun Combination and on special was the Chicken Satay Skewers, so I chose those. The bread with the curry sauce was wonderfully flakey, but really wanted some more of this winderful bread to soak up the curry 3.5/5. The Hor Fun Combination was amazing. It came in a broth/soup as opposed to stir fry which was a surprise. It was amazingly tasty and we were both really blown away by the flavours 4.5/5. The plate satay chickens skewers were 4 good sized skewers that were still moist and the satay sauce was amazing and not overpowered by peanuts 4/5. Lunch for under $30 with great friendly and prompt service....this place is well worth the trip! We will definitely be back!

After reading positive reviews from Joe K , Kan Do  & Ronnielui2003 , I finally made my way to Mama Malaya. The family operated eatery specializes in traditional Malaysian cuisines. After reviewing their vast selection, we ordered Roti Canai (Indian bread with curry dipping sauce), Har Mee (prawn noodle soup) and Char Kueh Teow (stir fried flat rice noodle). Roti Canai made a welcoming start to this meal. The Indian bread was flaky, oily and soft with an addictive buttery scent. Dipped into the rich and fragrant curry sauce, my palate was taken to Malaysia. A small let down was the slight overcooked roti that day which made it a bit dry. 3.5/5 The char kueh teow was up next with flat rice noodles, sliced Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, fish cake, banana prawns, calamari and eggs. First impression: my goodness the wok burn scent (in a good way guys)! The last time I had any stir fried noodle with that much “breath of the wok” was at a small eatery in Penang. The ingredients were well cooked with seafood retaining the moisture and the rice noodle stir fried to perfection. No doubt it’s the best kueh teow I have had in Brisbane. 4.5/5 Har Mee was the last dish to arrive, with fish balls, sliced boiled egg, banana prawn, chicken and Hokkien noodles all in a prawn based broth. First taste of the soup and I was blown away by the rich prawn, seafood and hints of porky flavours. It is by far the strongest prawn broth I have tasted in Australia. The chicken was tender soft and the seafood fresh and flavoursome. Hokkien noodles were cooked well with good amount of chewy vs soft mouthfeel. Bravo! 4.5/5 Service wise, for a take way shop is quite good. The owner was friendly and able to recommend dishes and special menu items of the day. 4/5 The establishment was previously a rundown Chinese takeaway shop which serves $5 lunch specials with a poor reputation. Due to the negative experiences in the past (its only 4min drive from home), I avoided the place for a number of years. After this fine meal, I can confidently recommend to friends, family and our Zomato community. I'd say, Joe K’s 45min drive was well worth the trip ;-) Hint: Their lunch special wins on taste and value. Har Mee is currently a seasonal release dependent on ingredient availability.
