This is my updated review from my first review of this place 6 years ago. This place has always been comfort food especially when we order the Char Kwey Teow and Curry Laksa.
My kids are into chicken rice and the Nasi lemak. Is it the best food in the world? No, it isn't because it is not sold on the streets like in Singapore or Malaysia.
Is it worth a visit every week to have a hot, warm homely feel in my tummy, absolutely! Honestly, in today's pricing, where can you get such decent food for $10 / dish? Portions are big and generous. The $10 all day deals also include a milk coffee. Highly recommended!! This is our go-to in Point Cook and I pray and hope that they don't move somewhere else!
My only suggestion - play some 60/80s kampong music. Whether it is Saloma Istana Cinta or Tian Mi Mi 甜蜜蜜 will give the whole 80s kampong vibes to round up all the 5 senses.
I also would like the chef to come out and chat with us more. There are days I find my laksa not spicy enough but when I chat with the chef behind the pots and pans, it reminds me that the food is man-made/cooked. It isn't churned out by machines so the taste may vary a little. And that's what home cooking is about. It is that comfort, familiarity and knowing that the food would taste like mom's.

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.

Great food at its best !
If you’re after fresh, hot, flavour-loaded Asian food without the long wait, this is the place. Their combination noodles and Singapore noodles hit the spot every single time. Generous with the meat, veggies cooked just right, and the sauce always on point not too oily, not too bland, just the way I like it.

From the first bite to the last, this was an absolute masterclass in Indian flavors! 🌟 We started with a Chaat that was a literal explosion of colors and textures—perfectly balanced with sweet, tangy, and spicy notes. The sliders (Vada Pav) were incredibly fluffy with a delicious kick, and finishing off with the warm, syrupy Gulab Jamun was the cherry on top of a perfect evening. The presentation is modern and artistic, but the soul of the food is authentic. If you’re looking for a dinner that hits every taste bud, this is the place! Can’t wait to come back.

After walking by the beach I stumbled upon this fish and chips place. First time visiting Altona Pine & Chips — ordered the lunch special (chips, flake and a choice of can or upgrade to a bottle which I chose the latter. Also added a potato cake to my order. Service was quick and easy, freshly cooked once you out your order in and the staff were warm and welcoming. It’s also a family business too which I love. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu

Fresh, Friendly, and Flathead Fantastic! 🍟
Bara Fish and Chips in Altona is the real deal. I went in for a quick bite and walked out with a new go-to spot. The flathead was absolutely spot-on — flaky, fresh, and fried to golden perfection. You can taste the quality in every bite.
But what really sets this place apart? The girls behind the counter — warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. Service like this is rare and makes all the difference.
Oh, and let’s talk about the steak sandwiches — hands down, the best in Altona. Juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right. 🤩
If you’re in the area and craving classic Aussie fish and chips with a side of top-tier service, this is your spot. 👍
