Order Food in blackburn

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.

Tried this for lunch today and it was soooo yummy!! the fish was fresh and crispy. the prawns and the scallops were so big and cooked perfectly. Seasoned really well. The owners were lovely. Thank you

So rich in flavour, great portion sizes and affordable prices. Great vegetarian options too. Have been going here for years, recommended to family and friends and this place has never disappointed.

Blue Grenadier crumbed and grilled was perfect. Great piece of fish. Came with a piece of lemon, as it should. Burgers were rated at 9/10 and 8/10 by my very critical children, and they would get them again. The scallops were good inside the batter, however they were a bit wet drippy. The potato cakes were ok. The chips had the extra chicken salt we asked for. Good to see a shop that doesn't have the fluoro yellow radioactive tasteless chips like many others do now.

Not too bad the food tho order of curries before rice and naan was a bit 🥴 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 - wasn’t 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 👍 - 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!
