I ordered nasi lemak for myself and a laksa soup noodle with fish collars. Both dishes were superb and taste exactly like what you'd get in Malaysia. The laksa soup was so comforting during cold days, like when I was in Auckland when they had their crazy rain storms. The food came out pretty quickly and the service was good. Overall a great place to have a Malaysian meal in the area.

Popped in here on a Friday night. Slightly off the busiest areas in Melbourne, it wasn't hard to…read moreget a table. The service was very attentive, my server let me know I could do everything via QR or order with her. I ordered a lamb curry and some roti and just because I wanted to try it I also got 1 piece of the fried chicken. It was all really good, but honestly the chicken was the best part. Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly and just a little spicy. If I ever go back here I will probably go for the fried chicken meal. I had wanted to try one of the sweet roti options for dessert, but by the time I finished the chicken, roti and most of the curry, I had no room left for more.

One winter's eve when we couldn't get in to the overflowing New Flavour restaurant, we decided to…read moreventure next door to the Golden Tulip. Straight away you notice the difference - this place has made an effort with their decor! Specialising in Malaysian & Indonesian cuisine, the waitstaff at Golden Tulip are happy to help and recommend dishes. The menu is extensive, as with a lot of Dominion Rd eateries! With classics such as Char Kuey Teow, Mee Goreng, Beef Rendang and Nasi Lemak, the closest you'll find to a Laksa is Curried Laksa Noodles. We plumped for a Mongolian Beef hotplate, Assam Prawns and a Hainanese Chicken. Each dish was a very good example of it's type, without being mind-blowing. The prawns were particularly good; plump & juicy with loads of the salty, sweet Assam sauce. The servings were huge, so we ended up taking the leftovers home. Golden Tulip & it's close Dominion Road neighbours Cinta and Santhiya's are giving Malaysian food the reputation it deserves. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the menu!

I recommend the char kuey teow as it has a good price to it, and has a good handful of noodles and chicken (I normally order chicken for this dish) each time you order and the chicken laksa for spicy beginners, as it isn't hot to taste the soup and the noodle is yummy with bits of chicken :9 The atmosphere of the foodcourt could be better, especially the bathroom but otherwise the bathroom situation there are many seats to choose from. I like the seats outside when it is sunny, where you can overview the stretch of the Ponsonby street the foodcourt is at be separated from other costumers, like a getaway. But the inside is also quite chill as you have seat and wait for your meal.

First up, I love the roti here. Sometimes roti can be just as bready and thick and crap as a bad naan, but the roti at Kampung is much more pastry-like - brittle and crumbly and yum yum yum. The first time I ever tried a laksa was from Kampung as well, and I can't believe I'm about to rave about food court laksa but I've had laksa since then and nothing has really measured up. Pretty good for a food court! While I can't say this is always my first choice when hitting Ponsonby Food Court up, it is a favourite.

Very much like home made fried rice. In all, there was good service, a nice environment and good food. Not to mention that they were open on New Year's day!

I popped in to Mama Rich again for an authentic laksa because last week I ordered a laksa in Singapore and got a Tom Yum Soup. I felt robbed! Feeling so much better having sipped and slurped my way through this bowl of laksa goodness. This cafe is a favourite for many familiar with Malay cuisine, even Malaysians. Evident by their attendance and quaffing of the hearty noodle soups. Their baked goods here are seriously good too. Try their afghans...they actually taste like....well, afghans. Of all the laksas I've had in Auckland, this ranks in top three for taste but number one for sheer volume and there's plenty of chicken in it too. For a lunchtime special, two would feel sated sharing a bowl of laksa.

Well however the businesses are joined or not , Mama Rich had the exact same menu as Selera . I had the char kieow ( sorry spelling) and it was the same as Selera , but without the spice and charred flavour that I love so much at Selera . All the dishes looked good and I wish I was more adventurous to try something else . That's not too say I didn't like it ,but personally I feel Selera is better . Mama Rich was clean and quiet for families and a cafe feel , no free tea here . (And when I asked if there was tea like at Selera the server looked at me like I was a crazy person). I like the noise at Selera and the jostling for tables , it feels more authentic. I love Malaysian food and I'll be sure to give Mama Rich another try , but I'm sure I'll be enticed back to Selera before long .

IF you can get over the manic craziness, awkward dining area (there are two), cramp kitchen space and noise (baring in mind it's also next to a busy main road) then you are good to go though it is all part of the experience! More importantly the food speaks for itself. I have pretty much had everything on their menu and whether you want to share meals, have your own or get a quick lunch fix, you won't be disappointed. This place is an institution. Faves: - Mee Goreng ($15 for a large) - Beef Rendang - Chicken Curry (Bare in mind Malay curries are slightly thicker) - Mummy Chicken.. - Rotis With a bit of reno's this place would really take off but knowing how restricted they are with their lease they really need their own space.

I came here for lunch and got the mee goreng with kopi tarik. The food and drink came out pretty quickly. You can choose the spicy level of the mee goreng and I chose "spicy"; it came out exactly the way I hoped! The portion is good for one hungry (but not starving) person. It tasted good, reminded me of char kway teow but in noodle form. It came with lots of bean sprouts, chicken, 2 slices of fish cakes and 2 prawns. The kopi tarik is also decent. Taste-wise, I was a little surprised. It wasn't exactly the taste of kopi tarik that I'm used to, but it's not a bad taste. Overall a good place to get your Malaysian fix.
