🫤 Positives first, the venue does have two menus - 'meaty' and vegan, which is great. The price point is incredibly affordable, and considered a cheap eat. Menu is also vast, offering good selection. Unfortunately not a fabulous experience at Baba Hawker for me however, I hate to say 😓 This is my s...

👍 Going by the reviews, we ordered: -Fried Kuey Teow with XO sauce -Hokkien Mee The former was really good with great “wok char” notes. Flavours were well balanced. The Hokkien Mee - was more of a dried fried egg noodle with pork, squid, fish cake and some cabbage. No sauce, oily and missing distinc...

👍👍 Great food, reminds me of home! I highly recommend the Homemade Tofu with Broccoli and Minced Pork even if you're not into tofu, the texture and taste is different to your usual tofu.

With inflation and cost of ingredients...

👍 Had the CnY dinner menu last Saturday with a group of friends (13 ppl in total). Paid $70 per head. I think it was overpriced. I barely ate $70 worth of food. The dishes were quite salty. Vegetable dishes had lil pieces of meat/porc in there. Was hoping the veg dishes would only have vegetables in t...

Long, simple dining room offering halal specialties from India, Malaysia and Singapore.

👍 Quite authentic Malaysian food. Service was okay, above average. Food portions are relatively small for Malaysian Australian restaurants. Prices are quite standard everywhere. Easy to find parking and generally above average, but will return not as a priority.

👍👍 Read so many reviews about this place so decided to try it out. It is Malaysian cuisine with some modern twists and innovations. Instead of all the conventional Msian taste we are used to we find the spices to be abit milder but still surprisingly well balanced. It was a good night out and a great f...
