I did not want to review this place and shine light on this hidden gem. But this is one amazing place the spicy chicken noodles and the vegetable dumplings are amazing. The spiciness is perfect and the portion size perfect for the night. Did not expect this off the road place to taste this good. Will definitely come back again.

Between the delicious food and the lovely staff, this place is a 10/10! The meat succulent, the bread fluffy, the dips flavourful and the best of all the homemade mujadara. Definitely recommend!

The most excellent vegan restaurant in Melbourne 👍. The dimsin is handmade by the business owner. Vegan juicy Xiao Long Bao must try😍. The business owners have been vegan for a decades. Their whole family member are vegan. When you walk into the restaurant, you can feel the vibrations of the clear energy. Feel like eating at home.

Jalan Alor is one of the newer Malaysian restaurants, which also comes highly recommended by some, although reading some of the reviews it seems everyone's experiences can be quite mixed.
Our summary:
The Good 👍
- Cheap dishes at $10 for most and $15.50 for noodles. 💰
- Serving size is average, so fairly good value for money. 🍽️
- Authentic Kopitiam vibe
- The CKT was actually quite decent with wok hey
The OK
- The Sawarak Kolo mee was just a lot of noodles 🍜 with some meat, no veggies. I guess for $10 I can't complain but here I am writing about this.
- Fish head curry was decent.
- the Satay had a different peanut sauce flavour than what we would normally have elsewhere. Not bad, just different.
The bad 😞
- The KL Hokkien mee wasn't great. Too sweet and had a very very fishy (squid) after taste. Also took about 30mins to come.
- the Sweet Chee Chong Fun was again very sweet but and the noodles were stuck together and hard in some places. Tbh if not for the stuck hard noodles this dish would have been ok to good.
Overall, if you are looking for cheap Malaysian eats and aren't too fussed on quality, this place is worth a try. If you want something which is actually good, there are many other places in and around east of Melbourne!

Kambo is a traditional Cantonese restaurant. Old school in a good nostalgic way. We had crab noodles and ‘Chinese ham’ and both were delicious. Crab was fresh and full of meat, noodles were done nicely with lots of gravy. Chinese ham and jellyfish dish was tasty and smelled strongly of sesame oil. Service was extremely polite and friendly. To top it off we got free ‘tong suit’ and fruit after. Very nice experience, feels like the Chinese restaurants of my childhood. Best of all it was well priced for what we ate. Highly recommended.

I found this little gem without any expectations. It felt like walking into someone's house who is keen to cook for me. The elderly man was most likely the owner who seemed like a humble human being with culinary skill.
He helped us order and we were rapt with the dishes. The lamb ding ding noodles was just filling and flavourful. I surely want to try the other dishes next time and on top of that he was kind enough to let me try the Yoghurt drink for free! I just couldn't thank him enough for the hospitality.
