The char kway teow tastes very close to the singapore taste, thumbs up. The wok taste and the right sweetness and saltiness to the dish was a delightful find. The bbq sting ray would have been better if there was more sauce, it was a little dry and slightly overcooked. It's a pity they don't have chincalok which normally goes with the malaysian bbq food.

When I eat at this restaurant, I'm transported home. Food here is the closest to home I've ever found in Melbourne. And gosh have I searched high and low for delicious malaysian food!! I've brought many Malaysians here and they love it too!

Great service and good food, they allowed us (2 people) to have the $35 set menu which is only available for a minimum of 4 people. Tasty food but not very 'authentic ' Asian food.

A small casual eatery that serves up the best Malaysian street food I have ever eaten. The lobak sausage is to die for, as is the chicken satay and sticky peanuts with anchovies and chili. The Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and prawn floss was also delicious.
