Terry's Kitchen — Restaurant in Melbourne

Homely, nostalgic and comforting food from a warm service crew :)

This place came highly recommended from a Facebook group and just to be sure we returned on two separate days to get a full experience. We went first on Easter Sunday and then the following Saturday. On both occasions, the service was sufficiently attentive and personable and the food quick and tasty.

We sampled the following dishes:

Nasi Lemak with ginger tumeric chicken Nasi Lemak bungkus with chicken karaage coconut taste from the rice was subtle and not overpowering. The sambal was quite mild but perfect for Nasi Lemak, where the rice is basically a vehicle to eat more sambal. Both types of chicken were yummy and not dried out but the edge here goes to the fried chicken. -peanuts and fish were satisfyingly salty and crisp. -pickled veggies were also tangy and complemented the dish

Tau too fah with Gula Melaka -smooth tau too fah here with Gula Melaka. Close enough to back home for us to buy 3.

Siew Pao with cha siu -surprisingly this was extremely good. I would legitimately come back just for Siew Pao that's near me.

Teh Tarik when we saw the froth we instantly knew it was going to be good, then the classic hawker centre cup sealed the deal. Smooth teh, tea taste is strong enough and did not go nuts with the condensed milk.

Curry puff Sardine puff have not yet eaten as we are stuffed. May update with edit.

Safe to say you won't be disappointed in whichever you choose. When the uncle asks you "teh Tarik you want sweet or less sweet?" You know it's authentic.

It's quite an interesting kopitiam vibe in a modern space.

Go give it a try when you can, order ahead to avoid...

Been wanting to go here for a while as many people recommended it. It’s a cafeteria of a church, very modern and big building. You can hear the sermon from the speaker while you are there. Lots of Malaysian foods in the menu, some Japanese. Tried their nasi lemak kukus and chicken katsu rice. That nasi lemak kukus took a while to come out but when it came it looks amazing, with lots of little dishes like fried shrimps, picked cabbages, 2 drumsticks of fried chicken, boiled egg and slices of cucumber. I think it was such a good value of a meal for $16! Chicken was cooked beautifully, moist in the inside. My favourite will be the fried shrimps, although I only 3 pieces. The chili sauce was beautiful, might be too spicy if you dont like spicy but for me it was perfect spiciness. Chicken katsu was ok and light. Lots of cabbages and a bit of pickled ginger, cherry tomatoes and cucumber. For almost same price, I definitely think the nasi lemak kukus was much a better choice and value. Will come back here again for nice authentic Malaysian foods. Not so much of place for good atmosphere since it’s a church cafeteria but good for a...

Situated inside a modern church, Apparently this place has one the most authentic kolo mee. It was very refreshing with the BBQ pork, pork mince & fried fish balls.

We also ordered curry mee with pork skin, tofu, char siew & prawn roll. Though I must admit curry mee is not something I enjoy since I do not tolerate spicy food that well.

Nasi Lemak Kukus with chicken drum stick was so tasty. The sambal & pickled cabbages were on point. The taste of the coconut in the coconut rice wasn't very strong though.

Our favourite of the day was the roti banjir where the egg yolks in the half boiled eggs were cooked to perfection, so good with the roti.

Teh Tarik wasn't overly sweet & had nice froths on it.

The portion wasn't overly big, so we finished all 4 dishes between the two of us.

Really wanted to try the curry puffs & siew pao, unfortunately they were all sold out by the time we decided to order some more food! So best to arrive early if you want to try everything!

Ps. Their weekly special changes, apparently one cannot miss out on their...
