Rasa Rasa

Malvern East's go-to for scratch-made Malaysian laksa, CKT and nasi lemak, thirty years running.

Unassuming, bare-bones dining room near the Caulfield campus with a warm, homecooked family-run feel. the cooking, not the decor, is the draw.

A dedicated laksa list spanning Curry, Assam, Nyonya and Siam styles, regularly updated specials, and a kitchen team (Eddie, Swee, Murni) running the restaurant as a family for over thirty years.

Very strong. reviewers repeatedly call it "authentic" and "homecooked", and the regional laksa range (Curry, Assam, Nyonya, Siam) signals genuine Malaysian culinary depth rather than a simplified menu.

Mostly seen as reasonable for generous, authentic cooking, though two reviewers separately flagged it as "a tad expensive" or "slightly expensive" for a couple of dishes.
