I ordered duck rice and was pretty yummy. The restaurant is quite clean overall and comfortable to sit in. You also get complementary tea to go with your meal. There are quite a few option on special before 5pm and I would recommend to give this a go if you are looking for a quick lunch near Doncaster east.

Always ring in advance so wait times and service from the staff hard to judge. But the chips...magnificent golden brown and fluffy on the inside. Fish, dim sims and potato cakes were also very good. Been here on and off for 20 years and although the owners keep changing, the chips continue to be super. Must be the equipment and oil.

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!

Came here for dinner tonight and the food was amazing, everything was freshly made. More importantly, the grandma was the best! Super cute and helpful. We asked her if the soups were good and she told us ‘not really, our noodles and lamb ribs better’ we loved her honest recommendation.
We also had the lamb pies - we forgot to take a photo because it smelt so good and we ate it too quickly - a must try!
