How we read reviews →Carlton's cheap-eats institution for halal Malaysian and Indonesian bain-marie meals.
No-frills, cosy bain-marie canteen with a constant lunchtime flow of students and office workers.
Self-serve bain-marie with a 2-meat-plus-1-veg combo from around $10, a fully halal menu, and fast turnover that keeps the display freshly cooked.
Reviewers from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia describe it as transportingly authentic, home-cooked nasi padang and hawker-style cooking reminiscent of home.
Exceptional value - a 2-meat, 1-veg combo with rice runs roughly $10-14, repeatedly called one of the cheapest, best-value meals near the university.
