Jalan Alor Mitcham

First, the obvious thing: this place is a value play. Where else can you get this much food for the prices they charge? But how does it taste? The food is nothing to shout about. The saving grace is that their sambal is pretty good. Other than that, it was pretty meh! And service? Nonexistent. To be expected. But to make things worse, even after repeating my order THREE times (asked for curry fish fillet bee hoon, not the regular white soup one), they still got it wrong!!! Seriously? Then it took more than 30 mins to get our food with appetizer coming last. I mean does nasi lemak take 30mins??? And it was pretty clear that they were prioritising takeaways because the guy after me got his food 15 mins before me. Nope - not worth the hassle even at the attractive prices.

The Sarawak kolo mee was slightly lacking in flavour. There was plenty of noodles. Perhaps that was the reason. It also needed more spring onionsand garlic to enrich the flavours. However for the price that they were charging, I am not really complaining. If I'm in the area I would still come back to try the other dishes. I am willing to amend my star rating if a future visit proves that it deserves a higher rating. It's a help yourself to the chili sauces and water place. Pay and order at the counter. Your food will be delivered to you.

Malaysian food that’s very popular around dinner time. The dishes are typical Malaysian fare with big servings. The taste is okay, the teh tarik is good, which really reminds me of the flavor in KL. Staff are friendly.

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!

Has a good selection of classic Malaysian hawker dishes at a great price point. The only slight negative is that the HCR didn’t have a soup, but you can’t really complain when it’s only $10.
