Order Food in elsternwick

I’ve been getting take away from here for years and always enjoyed the food and value for money. The dining area has been recently renovated so we ate in this time. Friendly, fast service and same great food. I recommend trying the dine in experience but note they are BYO only.

I must say, this Malaysian restaurant offers great value for money. Most of their main courses cost only $10, and both the flavor and portion are really satisfying. If you plan to eat here, I recommend coming early. Otherwise you might have to wait in a long line

The portion size are generally ok. Price is a bit varied. The diced beef rice with tomato rice cost $5 more compared to plain rice. Not sure if it's worth it. Also, the portoion of beef cubes are too small for a $19 dish. The taste is average.
