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.

Between the delicious food and the lovely staff, this place is a 10/10! The meat succulent, the bread fluffy, the dips flavourful and the best of all the homemade mujadara. Definitely recommend!

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.

Was delighted to eat the best lamb pizza I have ever had, seated quickly and on a small table for one. Very busy, new sign informing food delivery drivers to ring a bell down the side of the building rather than enter the tiny restaurant caused some confusion for a few, but will in time make the dining experience so much better.
Excellent price.
Crust was perfect, Napoli fragrant and all was superb and fresh.
Very busy, lots of noise, so for those who wish an intimate experience or are hard of hearing might try for take away instead of dining in.

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 π
- Cheap dishes at $10 for most and $15.50 for noodles. π°
- Serving size is average, so fairly good value for money. π½οΈ
- Authentic Kopitiam vibe
- The CKT was actually quite decent with wok hey
The OK
- The Sawarak Kolo mee was just a lot of noodles π 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 π
- 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!
