Order Food in mulgrave

Having read about this very popular Malaysian restaurant, we had it on our list to visit—and we finally made it there! We were warmly welcomed by the man himself, Danny, a charming and lovely man who made the experience even more enjoyable. The food definitely lived up to the hype and will definitely be back!

This is a small, unassuming street-side shop where I happened to have dinner. To my surprise, the food was exceptionally delicious—the sweet and sour pork was tender and flavorful, and the tofu casserole was rich and tasty…

Jalan Alor Malaysian Kitchen, Ferntree Gully Reviewed on 17/1/2025 Nestled away from the bustling and competitive Malaysian restaurant scene, Jalan Alor Malaysian Kitchen in Ferntree Gully offers a delightful escape with its affordable prices and authentic flavours. This hidden gem manages to keep costs low without compromising on quality, making it a standout choice for Malaysian cuisine enthusiasts. My visit took place on a weekday afternoon, and the café was buzzing with the lively chatter of Malaysian and Singaporean patrons, easily identifiable by their accents. The setting is reminiscent of a traditional kopi tiam, with its clean and welcoming environment, small tables, plastic stools, and paper cups for water, creating a cozy and unpretentious dining experience. Despite the trend of some restaurants cutting down on serving fried noodles due to high labour costs, Jalan Alor proudly offers a wide array of Malaysian favourites. From the aromatic Chow Kuey Teow (CKT) and Hokkien Mee to the flavourful Mee Goreng, nasi lemak, curry, and laksa dishes, the menu is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Malaysia. The CKT, with its strong Wok Hei and generous sprinkling of dried pork bits, was a delight that could satisfy even the most discerning CKT critic. The Singapore Hokkien Mee, distinct from its KL counterpart which is fried with dark soy sauce, was equally impressive. Although I usually prefer KL Hokkien Mee, I found the Singapore version to be just as delicious. I suggest that a little extra gravy could improve the texture and enhance the flavour further. One of the most appealing aspects of Jalan Alor is its pricing. The dishes are more affordable compared to many competitors, making it well worth the trip to savour the authentic flavors without breaking the bank. In conclusion, Jalan Alor Malaysian Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Malaysian cuisine in a relaxed and friendly setting. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this café promises a memorable dining experience that will leave you coming back for more.

One of the best authentic and cheap eat places in Clayton. This is an institution and I have been going for over 20years. The food is delicious and homemade style, portion sizes are great. Only issue would be dinning space small so make sure you have a booking or get take away. Food comes out fast and it’s mouth watering.

I’ve been coming here for years. By any definition, what they sell is good old-fashioned comfort food. It’s one of those places you wish will never change. You find comfort in the familiar. The food is always good. The people are always friendly. I’m yet to have a bad meal here ever. I always order the mapo tofu, which is definitely the best in all of Melbourne, maybe all of Australia.

Been trying to find a good fish and chips in the area and finally the kids and I have one we like! Price is so reasonable for the amount you get and everything was done perfect. Having chicken salt was a hit with the kids and it was perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be coming back, thank you
