Got takeaway for $12 traditional Mee goreng and surprisingly the portion was big & there are seafood, chicken, tofu & veggies in it. Taste was flavoursome. Good for your bucks. I think this would be my go to restaurant.
Cheap tasty Malaysian restaurant.
Fast friendly service.
Update 09/18: the curry laksa isn't too bad. It's creamy and quite generally portioned. Customer service had also improved since 2016. Bumping back up to 4 stars
Update 09/16: this place seems to have changed management.
The staff are a bit of hit and miss. Some are friendly and some seems to be hating life.
Foodwise the quality is still there so its such a shame to see the service level drop a little.

Woke up with strong cravings for Hainanese chicken rice so my partner packed some for me to have at home. Appreciate that they separated the chicken, chilli and rice into different boxes so I can manage the spiciness. The rice was more yellow than usual, and seemed inconsistent - some parts tasted better! I would have also preferred more garlic in my rice. Chilli was equal parts sweet and tangy, a good complement to the chicken. Really enjoyed the chicken - it was tender, flavourful and really reminded me of home. Pricing was standard at $12. Will be back!
Closest Malaysian restaurant around and fortunately a place that can make a passable Hainanese Chicken Rice. Not pretentious, it serves its fare and gets on with it.
A great little joint that does a flavoursome satay and roti, and a succulent ginger hainese chicken. My fellow diners chose the laksa which was a big looking portion I'd come back for.
One of our to-go for Malaysian food! Yummy and reasonably priced. My favourite is definitely the nasi lemak with curry chicken! Only downside, the restaurant is small and it can be quite tricky to get a table during dinner time.
Can’t really fault Penang Road, plenty of options to choose from and they all taste great!
Stewed pork belly with tofu in special sauce is a favourite.
Book early as this little place is generally quiet busy!
Stewed Pork Belly and Tofu on rice. So recently I have been using #ubereats to order this dish as the sauce was really yummy and had a very special taste. Today I finally visited this restaurant to order the same dish fresh.
Although it was still nice, but from what I noticed, the pork belly pieces are at least triple the size bigger than uber ones, but they forgot to put in tofu. Tofu was a bit tasteless. Nevertheless, this dish was filling and delicious :)
Was recommended to come here for good quality food and price. Everything was defiantly tasty and nothing to fault on and price is fair and cheap staff is friendly and patient highly recommended
I absolutely love their Laksa! I don't understand how anyone could say it lacked flavour... I can't even remember how many times I ordered it, but each time it was just delicious. The beef rendang is also worth trying. I dined in several times, and the staff has always been friendly and professional. The only thing is that sometimes the language barrier can be a serious issue, and one time I gave up with explaining my order over the phone (serious food allergy, so I needed to be sure they understood).
Portion was generous, in fact too huge for an Asian stomach. For such taste in ang moh place, this is a good deal. However, if I were to benchmark vs. Penang/Malaysia gastronomical standard, it's slightly below. Char keu tew lacked of "wok hei", prawn noodle and white curry laksa somehow the taste not fully absorbed, though soup is OK, likely because of the mihun and mee (noodle) used are different. Today's day 2 lockdown lifted in Melbourne, rules aren't strict here for dine in (need not show Vax cert) which can be a deterrent to risk averse ppl. Perhaps best to take away. Staff service is good, overall it's still worth trying, very close to home if you miss Malaysian food.
