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.

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!

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!

We ordered stir fried beef with naan bread and stir fried spicy squid. They are absolutely delicious and the ingredients are fresh! Highly recommended! Many customers came after us during dinner time, it is popular so you will expect a reasonable waiting time.

A very good recommendation to check out malaysia garden! Big portions, affordable price and delicious 😋 The salted fish and chicken fried rice was really good; very well balanced and tasty! Pretty good CKT ---a tad fishy with the unique pipis but still really nice--- and good chilli kick!
Lovely fresh roti bread, sweet nutty delicious peanut sauce and good curry puffs!
The service was lovely too; very quick.
*KEY NOTE = to find the restaurant, you must go INTO the Clayton hotel and left up the stairs 👍
