CatchUp Place — Restaurant in Melbourne

A Hidden Gem in Blackburn South – CatchUp Place

I had the pleasure of dining at CatchUp Place, a cosy Malaysian restaurant tucked away in Blackburn South, and I must say, it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home.

What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely caring, treating each customer with kindness and respect. I was especially touched by the way they looked after their elderly and disadvantaged patrons — a rare and heartwarming sight that deserves high praise. Hats off to the team!

As for the food, it was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish had that authentic, homely Malaysian flavour that brought back memories of street-side eateries in KL. We tried the Nasi Lemak with chicken, soft boiled eggs with kaya toast, and my personal favourite, chicken rice — each one was delicious, comforting, and packed with flavour.

Of course, no visit to a Malaysian restaurant is complete for me without a cup of Teh Tarik, and I’m happy to report that it didn’t disappoint. Creamy, frothy, and just the right amount of sweet – the perfect end to a wonderful meal.

This little gem has definitely won a spot on my list of go-to places. If you’re after genuine Malaysian hospitality and flavour, CatchUp Place is a must-visit. I’ll be...

New kid on the block for Singapore, Malaysian favourite foods, like Laksa, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak. We had the Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Ice Kachang, curry puffs. All were very good and generous helpings. Nasi Lemak rice was fragrant, chicken was crispy, tender, juicy and flavourful with crunchy anchovies while sambal was spot on in being not too sweet though can be a little more spicy. Malaysian laksa had rich gravy with large prawns, scallops and mussels, good value for the price. Enjoyed the potato and smashed pea curry puffs which were tasty encased in a nice crumply pastry. Service and hospitality from owner and chef Michael and team member Tian was fantastic. They also serve breakfast from 8 am and offer Malaysian breakfast food like roti canai, soft boiled eggs and Nasi Lemak bungus. Western breakfast items like eggs Benedict, smashed avocado and chicken waffles are also available. Will definitely be back to try their...

Now a great little Malaysian place, very happy to have it open up! Service is always fantastic, a big shout out to the chef and the friendly wait staff! The service is really great here and has kept me coming back. I have been many times now and ive been very satisfied with the meals, the batter they used on the calamari and soft shell crab was so fresh and delicious, the chicken is perfectly cooked and they have a great selection of malaysian deserts as well as milkshakes and coffees. I keep going back to try more of the dishes! They have alot of variety and i recently tried the nasi lemak burger which was amazing! Its a must try if you like your burgers. They have a selection of beers, wine and soft drinks including Coke and A&W root beer. Indoor and outdoor areas are provided and there is plenty of street parking in the area. Give...
