Opened up 3 weeks ago, the wife & I decided to pop by as we were craving Malaysian food…read more The food was delicious, the curry beef & the roti was on point! Even though we were full, we decided to give dessert a go. We ordered the sticky rice pudding & the kuih ketayap (pandan crepe, coconut & ice cream), both were superb. The staff were exceptional, very friendly & cheerful. You can really tell that they want you to enjoy the food & have a great time there. Makes it easier that it's BYO, so bring along your favourite & relax. We'll definitely be coming back here & supporting a great local business!

Always looking to try something different, I found myself at Pak Hailam Kopitiam seeing what…read moreMalaysian food was all about. Service was quick. I was there for an early dinner and there were not many other people there. I had some type of sweetened hot tea that was very tasty. I can't remember what It was called. For dinner I settled on what I think was the Kampung Mee Goreng and I chose seafood. It was a fried noodle dish. I could smell it when they started cooking it and my mouth began to water. It smelled good. The food did not disappoint. It was a little salty for me but there were very good flavors in this dish. I have become a fan of Malaysian food.

Well coat me in sambal and call me spicy, there's a new Malaysian restaurant just down the road…read morefrom me and I don't know what its name means but it's fun to sound out phonetically. Berempah. See? Swung past for one of their lunch specials, got the $9.90 vegetarian curry (with a hit of sambal on the side, natch). Welcome to flavourville, population: your homeboy me. The curry is made on lentils with big steaming hunks of potato and eggplant, there's tomato and carrot in there, and coriander and chilli. I'd actually eat it just as a soup but I love rice so much I'll never look a gift rice in the face if someone is throwing it at me. I'd just catch it in a bowl and now it's my rice. These guys better get used to seeing me at lunchtimes on my phone.

The kids had satay chicken and spring rolls followed by deep fried battered squid. I can't help but compare them to the Salt & Pepper Squid served in the Qantas First Class Lounge in Sydney. They taste just the same! The Fried Koay Teow was a little pale but pretty good. The specialty of the house, crispy skin pork in special sauce was good but a little too oily. I could not eat too many pieces. The curry chicken with Roti was ordinary. Sambal Kankong was passable. There was no iced Kopi, so I settled for iced milk tea. This was extremely sweet but tasted okay when you add a bit more water.

Really nice Malaysian restaurant with good classic dishes…read more The shrimp paste fried chicken wings were really nice, crispy and lots of flavour. Oyster omelette was generous with oyster. The Babi pongteh wasn't that outstanding though, it was good, but nothing too special. Roti was very good, fluffy and buttery.

Awesome Malaysian restaurant albeit at slightly premium prices (but who cares when you can get food…read morethis authentic). My favourite has to be the fried koay teow (extra spicy for me) which has good heat and the nice garlicky burnt taste that we are so used to. Has to be one of the better Char Koay Teow dishes I have tastes compared to Perth and Melbourne Malaysian restaurants. Also had the Christmas special: Nyonya fish head curry - at $38 it was a steal. Curry was flavourful (probably similar to a chicken kapitan) with lady's fingers, aubergines and a large fish head full of hidden nooks and crannies of succulent fish meat and stuff. Sambal does a decent cendol too. So for all you Malaysians who whinge about the price - think about (The Malaya at Darling Harvbour) which is probably a tenth as authentic at probably double the price and you have things in a better pespective.

If you're looking from a change up from the regular brunch options, head to Kin. Kin serves up…read moreAsian fusion brunch. They have congee and they put onsen eggs in everything! The congee was interesting, but at $15 a bowl of boiled white rice, compared to less than $5 a bowl at every other Chinese restaurant, it's a bit steep. Tasted and looked good though. The onsen eggs on toast and salmon was okay, but tasted a bit too ordinary. I saw both the ex Masterchef contestants hard at work. I liked seeing that they were personally behind the food and care about delivering quality food to customers. Too often these days, a celebrity chef will leave the restaurant to run itself.

You know those "Asian" restaurant which serves Chinese, Thai, Japanese and every other South East…read moreAsian cuisine that every country town in Australia seems to have? Well Kin is a bit like that but also in every way the opposite. Kin serves Asian-style cafe food, spanning Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Malaysian cuisines with some Australian cafe style food to boot. And somehow...it works! The salmon is out of this world - super tender but with a lovely charred surface. My money's on sous vide then blow torched. The accompanying spinach is a curious ball of umami and the onsen eggs have me leave poached eggs behind in the dust. The pho is incredibly rich yet delicate and the black sesame shake is grey like concrete, just the way black sesame anything should be. Despite not being a follower of My Kitchen Rules, I somehow still know of Shanelle and Uel. It's a delight to see them hard at work in the kitchen when we visit and even more so when we see them truly embodying their name, bantering with their staff and checking in to make sure they've eaten. It is clear that the food here is made with love. Kin, try as you may to keep me away with your terrible parking, puns and queues, but I will be back for the rest of the menu!

Awww yeah son, this thing is everything you want in a big bowl of chilli-laden delicious, and the key is in the broth. It's compex, with creamy coconut, wonderfully subtle fish flavours, and the warm sambal kick topped out with noodles, bean sprouts and giant, firm king prawns that are almost a meal unto themselves. They'll make it mild if you want, but you don't want that. You want your face to scream in delight, you want to singe your eyebrows off, you want your tone writhing around in throes of ecstasy. Get it as spicy as you dare. It ain't the cheapest going around at $16.90, but this is the North Shore so there's that. The curry puffs are super good, too, and you can buy the home-made sambal in little tubs to take away for $4. You're gonna want to do that. The ice cream at the end was just okay, but by then the battle was well and truly won.
