Nan Yang Cafe Derrimut

I've eaten here multiple times and I must say, even thought the wait for the food takes a while due to it being packed most of the time, the food served is good value for money. The staff also makes sure to clean the tables as fast as possible to accomodate newer customers. Would highly recommend for people who want to eat on a budget.

At $10 a dish, this Malaysian café is a budget win — perfect if you’re a student or just looking to fill up without emptying your wallet. But for me, it wasn’t quite the flavour journey I was hoping for. I tried the Penang White Curry Mee, Hainan Chicken Rice, Loh Bak, and Teh Tarik. The curry mee arrived in a generous bowl, but it was mainly noodles swimming in white curry broth, with not much else going on. The Hainan Chicken Rice looked like the real deal, but taste-wise, it felt like my brain got the memo — “this is chicken and rice” — while my mouth and stomach were still waiting for it to show up. The highlight? Only the Teh Tarik — smooth, milky, and exactly how it should be. If you’re here for value, especially as a student, this is a 5-star find. But if, like me, you’re chasing those bold, satisfying Malaysian flavours, it’s closer to 3 stars — filling enough, but missing the spark that makes you crave the next bite.

Cheapest Malaysian in Melbourne that I have found and tried. Fast service, double-colour toned interior, woody restaurant feel, fatty creamy spicy aroma from the food - couldn’t get any more authentic than this! $10 for classics such as Kolo Mee, Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak, Hainanese Chicken Rice done just like the way we had it in Malaysia. Having travelled to Penang, the quality is almost similar. Penang White Curry Mee brought me back to the one I had near Air Siam temple in Penang. Rice dishes are better than their noodles, as I found the CKT & Kolo Mee lacking flavour. Love the chicken of both the curry chicken in the NasiLemak & Hainanese Chicken Rice. Sauce is super delicious, but the fragrant rice for both dishes were surprisingly better. Definitely could do more meat for the Kolo Mee, and a bit more consistent meat would be great. Even their teh tarik was perfect! My new go-to spot for Malaysian cuisine, I don’t have to go anywhere else for this hearty harmonious flavoured meal!

Tasty Singaporean eats. Great spot for cheap, satisfying Singaporean food with solid value for money. Hainan chicken is tasty, and the condiments really elevate the meal. Perfect for a casual bite in Derrimut.
