Kitchenku - Kurunjang

KitchenKu is a hidden gem that's unseen from Plenty Road but well worth looking for. It's been there about 20 years so the locals who love Malaysian go there often. Mrs Canuck loves their gado gado. <br/ <br/ Great food and fast service. Definitely worth a visit.

Hidden gem in Mill Park. Ive never tried a malaysian cuisine as authentic as theirs. I've heard from a friend who used to work there that they import their ingredients from Malaysia. My go-to dishes are buttered prawns, sesame chilli beef and chilli garlic chicken.

Have been coming here for at least a decade, food is up there with the best Asian in Melbourne. Fav dishes are the sesame chilli beef, tomato prawns and the gado gado (haven't found a better gado gado and I have been to Asia many times looking). Never been disappointed, great Asian good and great value for money. Family run business and the family are lovely with great service.

Used to come here regularly about 10 years ago and I'm happy to report that the food remains just as good. The restaurant itself looks a bit tired, but is clean and the service is friendly and efficient.<br/ <br/ The food is the real star. It is delivered promptly from the ktichen, piping hot. Beef Rendang Istimewa is delicious. The medium heat level is very mild/not hot at all and really highlights the amazing flavour. Staff are happy to tailor the spice to your level. Butter prawns were also great. The crunchy fried butter was oh so unhealthy but that just made it taste better. Ayam Pandan was full of flavour. It is deep fried which is a little unusual as many restaurants steam it instead. However, it is not at all oily. The pork lobak is amazing as well. The skin is perfectly crunchy and meat is moist and full of flavour.<br/ <br/ We couldn't resist dessert. The banana fritter is great, the batter was crispy and sweet. The deep fried ice cream was also delicious.<br/ <br/ Though it is a fair trek across town for us to visit, we will have to come back very soon.

Often have takeaways at this joint, fantastic food, love thier sesame chilli chicken, Mongolian beef.Round tables are available for families to have meals together too!
