Not only are the pizza's tasty, they are full of toppings and they are very accommodating for changes including dietary requirements. Why stop at pizza, there pasta is just as good. Would highly recommend Daniel and his team for those dinners for busy families or nights when you have had a big day.

Last minute booking for 7, parked outside the place was dead quiet. Was thinking we made a mistake.
Chef comes out to greet us and tells us about tonight's special. I didn't really pay attention, due to kids stuffing about.
we're the only customer in the restaurant. My foodie friend proceeds to over order as usual.
The food was amazing, the front of house lady made our Thai milk tea which was perfect about of sweetness. Not the overly orange mix you would usually get and then having to water down the condense milk. This was proper Thai milk tea. I am surprised the place was dead quiet on a Saturday night.
Down the street was an ordinary Thai place and it was booming. The chef here has way more skills. I've uploaded pics, this must be the best that food around the 15km radius.
Will take my parents here, they will love it.

Not too bad the food tho order of curries before rice and naan was a bit π₯΄ the spinach potato dish - spinach was too overly blended like paste. Taste was ok. Food took awhile to be served though we were the only patrons at the time.
Service was courteous and friendly.
Restaurant was pretty cold. I was going to remove my jacket but changed my mind. The fan was running full blast - wasnβt sure whether it was to keep heat from kitchen pour out into dining area. The restaurant itself looked nice yet not many customers.
Noticed mostly takeaway orders. Other than a couple who left just after we were seated, another family group of about 8 came after us

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 π
- Cheap dishes at $10 for most and $15.50 for noodles. π°
- Serving size is average, so fairly good value for money. π½οΈ
- Authentic Kopitiam vibe
- The CKT was actually quite decent with wok hey
The OK
- The Sawarak Kolo mee was just a lot of noodles π 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 π
- 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!

This meal was absolutely incredible!
The crab congee in the bubbling clay pot tasted so rich, creamy and comforting β perfect for ordering in winter.
The marbled beef slices were stunningly fresh and beautifully presented, just melted in your mouth after swishing in hotpot.
And the fish was so delicate and tender which is a great choice for hotpot. What a delicious spread!
I also loved the vibe of this place β the decor was elegant and cozy, with a nice mix of traditional and modern touches.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Service was smooth and fast, and they made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in.
Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

Very modern Chinese restaurant. I really like the tea that was already at the table and the little ornamental sauce holders. We ate corn egg soup, chasiu and pork. Overall great experience and the staff was extremely attentive, they even had mics to talk to one another. All the food came out very fast and the portions were good for the price.
