Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary a couple of weeks ago, and given the current lockdown status in Melbourne, we didn't have a choice but to celebrate our anniversary at home with our kids. I ordered in some Malaysian food from Colonial Cafe based on recommendations by my sister who had ordered from them recently, and we enjoyed the food for both lunch and dinner on our anniversary date. Contacting the business to order was easy via the Facebook page, and response time was quick. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Colonial Cafe delivers to further suburbs on certain weeks (announced on their Facebook page), but we live close enough to be able to order for next-day delivery. The food was delivered chilled, and I was happy to reheat the dishes for my own peace of mind. We all enjoyed the food, and we found the quality didn't suffer too much with the delivery option. Flavour-wise, this is as authentic as Malaysian food outside of Malaysia can be. The Nonya kueh (cakes) I ordered were also pretty good I can see why my sister and cousins enjoy ordering from Colonial Cafe.
Whenever I miss home food, having one of their nasi lemak bring those memories and nostalgia of proper Malaysian/Singas food. My favourite bit is the sambal, pungent potent and spicy enough to satisfy my homesick tastebuds. :) Whilst the nasi lemak bungkus is a must when visiting there, the curry (potato and chicken), nicely spiced crusty puff is enough to keep my homesickness at bay :)
Had a nasi lemak bungkus and the teh Tarik, surprisingly good! The milk tea was so rich and smooth, the bungkus was very flavorful, will be one of my new favorite food places at Westfield!
Delicious cheap Malaysian food with so many options. I like to get my work lunch from here when I feel like a treat. I’ve tried hainanese chicken rice, chicken rendang, Nasi Kemal and they are all delicious. Also the curry puffs are a must 🤤

Who would’ve thought that within Colonial Fresh Market (selling green groceries and dry goods) lies Colonial Coffee serving up a galore of Malaysian goodies!
There’s an entire fridge section dedicated to Malaysian staples of all sorts from Nasi Lemak to Curry Laksa all priced below $9.
The concept is simple: pick out the items you fancy and if you wish to eat in, they will be warmed up for you on the spot; or if like us, you may also purchase them cold to take home for reheating later.
I really don’t know what possessed us that day, but we picked out a whopping total of 9 items! Subconsciously prepping ourselves up for a zombie apocalypse perhaps? Lol!
Ranging from average to good, the best of the lot would have to be the Turmeric Basmati Rice with Rendang Chicken and Lobak. The Nasi Goreng Kampung missed the mark and the Pandan Layered Cake was ordinary at best, but the Nasi Lemak Bungkus and Curry Laksa were quite authentic and the rest were decent.
They have a dedicated kitchen located in Clayton where all the food is prepared and distributed to various locations apart from this venue, one being Colonial Fresh Market in Glen Waverley and the other at Papparoti in Springvale.
Not necessarily the best Malaysian to be had, but the variety is good, prices are low and the convenience is there, with the added bonus of some very cheerful and helpful service.
Colonial Coffee is an unassuming little stand in the middle of the excellent Colonial Fresh supermarket in Doncaster shopping centre serving delicious Malaysian dishes that you can takeaway and reheat later, or eat in with the super friendly staff heating it up for you. Prices are very reasonable with most dishes under $8 and the yummy Nasi Lemak bites coming in at around $5.70. I also love their Teh Tarik which is only $3.50! So far I’ve tried the pork noodle dish pictured (I promptly forgot the name), curry laksa and nasi lemak bite with cuttlefish - all were super fragrant, delicious and seemed more authentic than other popular Malaysian chains I’ve tried like PappaRich.
I don’t think I’ll leave a visit to Doncaster now without taking a few dishes home as they are so convenient to take to work or heat up at home!
Omg I cannot rave about this place enough!!! Their nasi lemak bites have that flavour punch that is so addictive! After trying them out for the first time at the World Rice Festival I can tell you now I have become a regular 👌👌
We frequent Colonial Coffee for lunch especially during the weekend. I enjoy their nasi lemak and my partner will always have their curry noodles. Prices are very reasonable for the portions. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
If you are looking for hidden treasure at Westfield Doncaster, then this is it!
Positioned in the middle of the Colonial Fresh Fruit Market, this little eatery sells a wide variety of Malaysian fare.
Their curry puffs are highly recommended - the fillings go right up to the edge and there are giant sized versions as well. Love the fact that they have sardine curry puffs too - not an easy find in Melbourne.
Their kuihs are not too sweet and are always beautifully presented.
Tried the butterfly pea rice with rendang chicken today.....which left me almost speechless. The generous pieces of chicken were drenched in a delicious sauce and this was served with perfectly cooked blue (yes, blue) rice and out-of-this-world achar.
This place seems to get busier each time I visit (especially on weekends when they have a lot more items on sale compared to on weekdays).....so you better get on down here soon before the secret is out!
Really loved Colonial Coffee- it seemed to be run by a few very nice aunties making really yummy and economical food.
I ordered Nasi Lemak w squid for myself and it has a delicious kick to it. It was soooo yummy 😋 ordered cheong fun for the kids and they loved the noodles, not so much the fish balls but that’s just them being weird. 😛
Ordered the juice combo which was really delicious, and the takeaway Nutella cake was so yummy and not too sweet. I got the layer cake as well, but found the flavour not as yummy as the ones from bengawan solo or ones from Indonesia.
Either way it’s a great little spot in the middle of the Colonial Market to rest and fuel up 💕
What a delicious experience!! I highly recommend you try this place.
My mum and I were looking for somewhere where myself being on ketogenic diet (low carb) and where my mum being a vegan could both enjoy some food and drink. As you can imagine, it’s a pretty hard thing to do.. I had the halloumi salad which was keto and absolutely amazing!!!!! And my mum had a vegan hot chocolate and a vegan sweet which ticked all the boxes! Not to mention my iced long black was to die for :D! I was so impressed with the service as there was no hesitation with our complex dietary requirements, all was catered for and my meal was brought to my table and the ingredients used was explained to me, just to check it was ok for me. That kind of thoughtfulness isn’t very common and for that I am encouraging all to try this great place and experience it for yourself!
Thanks guys for making it a great meal and experience 🤩🤩🤩
I don’t usually write reviews but i’ve stopped my this cafe before my shifts at work and the coffee is just amazing! Perfect every single time, staff have always been friendly and efficient. The prices are definitely worth it. The range of sweet selections are so nice and the cheesecake is delicious :)
Good serving sizes, good coffee, not too expensive, do I need to say more?
The Big Breakfast was AMAZING! Great value and delicious, and lovely service also. Highly recommend.
A Hidden Gem.
In the busyness of a major shopping centre it is hard to discern the best place for a quick meal or just a coffee. Well Dolce Expresso is just that place in Doncaster Shopping Town. You will be greater by very generous staff offering a broad range of generous sized meals, cakes and other delicies, all combined with great coffee. Highly recommended.
Fast service and delicious coffee! Always get my coffee from this Cafe when I visit Doncaster Shopping town.
