I always tell my friends that we are lucky to live in Australia particularly in Brisbane because we have so many Malaysian eateries that serve authentic Malaysian food. This one is one of my favorite.
We made some take-away orders last month and could not find any sign of COVID-19 impact on its business.
It was as busy as usual and I have to wait for 10 minutes even though I placed the phone orders 20 minutes before arrival.
Well, it is worth for the waiting time because those food are superb.
Besides the Hainan Chicken rice and the roti that I have tasted before. The new trial of salmon fish head with vermicelli and the clay pot tofu rice are both tasteful and above average standard.No wonder it is so busy.

What’s new, pussycat? New menu at Malay House, actually. Well it’s not fresh off the press new as it’s been out for a few months now, but I haven’t been back since the first few visits last year after it first opened, so it’s new to me! They also have some newish lunch specials from $10.90 that includes soup and a drink. Couldn’t take advantage of that on this return visit as we were there for dinner, but it seems like a good option to keep in mind for another time.
Our order:
* N05 Maggie goreng, $12.90 - stir fried Maggie noodles with deep fried drumstick, fried tofu, onion and choy sum
* R02 nasi Pattaya, $13.90 - Malay House fried rice with omelette
* D05 cincao (grass jelly drink), $3.50
Portions were generous and taste was decent, though I wasn’t enough of a fan of the curry powder in my nasi Pattaya to want to put it on my repeat order list. And if I was given the choice between this Maggie goreng and the $10 mee goreng special at Lemak, I’d pick the latter. There’s lots of other stuff on the menu I wouldn’t mind trying though, and one of our friends had the dry pan mee dish (N11, $13.90) which he said tasted just like home so that’s a pretty good endorsement!
I think I may have found my favourite Malaysian restaurant in Brisbane! I have heard of Malay House but because it is located in Underwood, it is quite a travel for us to visit there. Sharing the meals between four adults, I chose some signature Malaysian dishes to share. Firstly, the chicken satay. The marinade of the chicken satay was quite close to home and feels almost like the ones from home. The chicken was tender and not dry at all. The dipping sauce - peanut sauce was good.
