Norsiah’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Melbourne

A must-know place if you're a uni student!!! I was in tears when I saw that Norsiah's kitchen was still open and that the same owners (Aunty & Uncle) were there. I used to frequent this place for lunch when I was at uni (a long time ago) so dining here brought back many memories.

The food tasted the same: wholesome and homemade, like your Singaporean/Malaysian friend's mother's cooking. It was also not too salty, which was good!

You can't go wrong with the 2 meat + 1 veg with coconut rice. I had this plus an extra veg dish for $1. I also had a canned drink for $2. Definitely opt for the fried chicken and one of the curries - you won't regret it!

I just hope this place stays open as long as possible, and I wish Aunty and Uncle the best of...

I once was billed with 8 dollars and paid them twenty, the lady was supposed to give me 12 dollar back, but instead she gave me 2 dollar back. It was a honest mistake on her side, but I could not convince her that I paid her 20. So, needs to be careful...

The dishes tasted very much like home cooked food, not much oil, lean meat. I think this is a very convenient and cheap place to go for a quick lunch. If you don’t mind the not so commercial and more of home cook style, i would recommend to give this place a try. I have only tried the dishes on the hot display, yet to come back to try those dishes on the menu. The reason i didn’t give a 5 star rating is because i find that some of the dishes can be further improve without additional oil or unhealthy elements. But if you are not too fuss for a cheap meal, this is...
