Teekaway Delight
Fragrant, fluffy coconut rice and generous portions of ikan bilis and peanuts make this dish highly authentic. While the fried chicken is delicious, one person noted the nasi lemak can be slightly dry.

“One of the best, authentic Malaysian KL Hokien mee in Melbourne! 🙌 This dish brings me back to my home town in Kuala Lumpur as it’s so rich in flavor, especially the sauce. The noodles are just the right texture and it’s fried just right that it has enough wok hei “wok’s breath”. 5/5 dish and definitely coming back. The nasi lemak with fried chick”
