Majlis Ramah Mesra Malaysia Madani

Thank you to for graciously hosting 200 attendees this morning!

Great catching up with friends from the Consulate General of Malaysia and Malaysians from around Melbourne.

Always nice to meet new faces and trade stories over delicious iconic Malaysian food, kuih, and drinks. 😘👌 *chef's kiss*

9 Nov 2025: Malaysian Restaurant Takeover Weekend, Day 2

The flavour-filled weekend continues! 🇲🇾✨

We spent our morning on Lygon Street for the 2nd day of the Malaysian Restaurant Takeover, all thanks to the Consulate General of Malaysia!

Today’s stop: Breakfast at Warong Mummy. Their staff welcomed visitors with smiles and offered a variety of classic Malay dishes as well local street snacks.

🍲 Featured dishes were:
- Nasi Lemak (Malaysia's national dish), with a side of sweet and spicy sambal
- Mee Goreng with a sunny side up egg
- Potato Curry Puffs
- Pisang Goreng (fried banana fritters)
- Keropok Lekor (fried fish sausages, aka Alia's all-time favourite! 🥳)

We washed down our hearty meal with a hot cup of Teh Tarik (sweet frothy milk tea).

It was lovely to see passers-by take a curious pit stop into Warong Mummy and have a go at an authentic Malaysian breakfast spread! The feedback we got from some of the visitors was that they enjoyed the food very much. 🙌

If the way to your heart is through your stomach (like us 🤣), you should definitely make a trip (or several! ✈️) to Malaysia and explore the depth of our diverse cuisines and cultures.

Terima kasih to and for hosting us! ❤️

8 Nov 2025: Malaysian Restaurant Takeover Weekend

A taste of home in Melbourne! 🦘 🇲🇾

We got to experience the start of an incredible Restaurant Takeover at Teh Tarik Corner, hosted by the Consulate General of Malaysia!

The food was next level! 🔥
Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, and Salt & Pepper Eggplant were absolute winners. We sipped on Teh Tarik, 3 Layer Tea, and finished with sweet Bubur Cha Cha as well as tasty Matcha and Nutella buns! 🤤

The vibes were amazing, with beautiful decorations and cool marketing material promoting "Visit Malaysia 2026"
(P.S. .truly.asia: We need some plushies of Wira and Manja the Malayan sun bears 🐻 🐻.They are so cute!)

Thank you and for having us! ❤️ ❤️

An evening spent in youthful company over dinner, thanks to Chef Ejo & En Nik! 🥳

Delicious and well-portioned Malaysian-style char kuey teow (fried flat noodles) with fresh prawn, made upon special request to the chefs at Collins Kitchen 👌

Learned about interesting suburbs that we haven't been to yet, and shared our stories and experiences as Malaysians in Melbourne. A fun night out! 🙌

All the best in your respective journeys and until we meet next!

Tonight's dinner:
🔥 🍗 Charred spiced chicken with Aloo Gobi (traditional 🇮🇳 Indian curry dish made with potatoes & cauliflower, but we used local seasonal produce ✌️)

04/11/2024

🇮🇳 Indian-style 🇮🇳 🥔 Potato (Aloo) Curry 🥔

Our landlords offered us a bucketload of delicious chicken biryani yesterday.

It got me thinking last night: What gravy-based side dish could I make to complement the biryani...?

So I raided our pantry (as usual, no wastage in this household 💪) and found potatoes, onions, a bottle of pasta sauce.

Added in a bunch of aromatics and boom shakalaka - My concoction of pantry essentials to complement the chicken biryani is complete!

We rate this an 8/10, definitely going into our regular rotation of meals now! 🙌 😋
