Malaysian Kueh Cafe

Best Known For

Traditional Malaysian snacks and desserts.

Melbourne foodies seeking South-east Asian cuisine and desserts head along Box Street in Doveton to find Malaysian Kueh Café. This halal café serves traditional kueh – bite-sized steamed rice snacks or desserts commonly found in Malaysia – all brightly coloured and tempting for those who enjoy something different such as green coconut lopes, made with rice, coconut milk, pandan juice and brown sugar. Try the karipaps – curry puffs stuffed with fillings like potato and sardines encased in deep-fried pastry - or tender and tasty chicken rendang, with yellow rice; while slow-cooked beef cubes with prunes, tamarind and soy sauce appeals on a chilly Winter’s night. Perhaps dip a spoon into a steaming bowl of beef noodle soup with flat rice noodles, best enjoyed with roti paratha and gravy.
