How we read reviews →Nunawading's tiny Malaysian-style char siu specialist, rated best in Melbourne by regulars
A no-frills four-table shopfront that trades entirely on the quality of its roast meats. Cramped but purposeful. think Malaysian hawker stall transplanted to suburban Melbourne. Busy at peak hours with a loyal queue of regulars.
Malaysian-style preparation that distinguishes from Hong Kong-style roasts; pork lard noodles with pickled green chilli; caramelised char siu with signature charred ends; chef-owner greets returning customers personally.
Specifically Malaysian-Chinese roast tradition. a clear distinction from Hong Kong-style preparations noted repeatedly by diners from both backgrounds. Malaysians and Singaporeans consistently rate it as tasting like home.
Priced slightly above average for a roast shop, though quality justifies it for most regulars. Some patrons have noted inconsistency in fat-to-meat ratio in certain cuts. requesting leaner portions at the counter is an option.
