Kitchen Inn - Melbourne

Went with a friend. We shared a bowl as the portion was big. They have tasty sarawak kuching noodles, noodles had great texture, sauce/oil was accompanied the noodles well. We ordered a set ($11 plus) with pig organs soup, the soup was msg laden and the pig's stomach was very tough. Overall i would still come back for some sarawak noodles! I am not so sure about the rest of the dishes. I saw someone ordering the Bak kut teh but I am rather skeptical about the authenticity.

Craving for noodles we just couldn't go past Kitchen Inn on Elizabeth St. The atmosphere is Asian cafe style, not fancy, it was busy, and the prices very reasonable. The servings were large and authentic. The Kampua noodle soup (with pork) and Fried vermicelli Chicken Curry hit the spot. Their cold drinks are special too - try a honey lemon Tea to go with those delicious noodles. Will definitely be back to try some of those delicious looking Rice dishes.

We normally come here and have their signature Kolo/Kampua Mee and I have always been curious about all their other dishes which look so tempting. Today, I tried the Fried Foochow Vermicelli Noodles (Wet) and it is exactly how it would be cooked at home (home being Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia). No doubt their Kampua/Kolo Mee is still the best dishes to try but so far, I would recommend the Vermicelli as well as their tomato char kuay teow. There are other dishes that I have tried that I wouldn't recommend particularly their Sarawak Laksa, Fish Noodle Soup and their chicken's feet.

Finally found a eatery or restaurant in Melbourne selling the unique Sarawakian noodles. We tried kampua, kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, Penand fried Kueh teow, pork belly, curry squid, Teh Tarik, red bean delight, and ice che dolce and red bean. Kampua and kolo mee were good. Sarawak laksa lacked the unique belacan and cumquat. Ice chendol lacked colours,sweeten condensed milk and rose syrup.All in all, the food was good, service was fast, and the place was clean.

I stumbled upon this little unassuming restaurant while wandering around the city before catching my ride to the airport. There are several Malaysian restaurants along this road and I will admit I was drawn in by two things: a picture of a big bowl of Sarawak Laksa, and an advertisement stating that they served food at discounted prices between 3-6pm. It would have cost $6 for a bowl of ko-lo mee, but I happily paid the full price for Sarawak laksa, something I had craved for weeks. Looking at the steady flow of customers they had even at the odd hour of 430 - 530pm, this place clearly has a loyal following.The food came in generous portions, and I thought the laksa might have been a tad watered down, but the taste was definitely as authentic as it goes. Couldn't help stealing envious glances at what other people were eating, but I wouldn't have coped with anything more.A simple, small restaurant. No frills, just good honest food. I think places like this almost serve their own community by offering authentic fare at affordable prices.
