After an afternoon of shopping in Melbourne CBD, we walked over to this spot for dinner. With 11 of us, we had to split across a few tables. Ordering was done via the store’s QR code—place the order, confirm it, show the confirmation to staff, then make payment. It was a little troublesome, but it’s understandable as the system likely helps the restaurant save on labour costs.
We tried a wide variety of dishes including Sarawak laksa, white curry mee, fish head curry mee, chicken rice, char kway teow and more. Despite the crowd, food service was quick and efficient. Most importantly, the food was delicious and tasted authentically done. Again we forgot to take pictures of our food before eating. Considering the quality and portion sizes, the prices were very reasonable—definitely more economical compared to similar places back home. Overall, a satisfying and worthwhile dining experience.

I found this little gem without any expectations. It felt like walking into someone's house who is keen to cook for me. The elderly man was most likely the owner who seemed like a humble human being with culinary skill.
He helped us order and we were rapt with the dishes. The lamb ding ding noodles was just filling and flavourful. I surely want to try the other dishes next time and on top of that he was kind enough to let me try the Yoghurt drink for free! I just couldn't thank him enough for the hospitality.
