TRUE ASIAN KITCHEN — Restaurant in Melbourne

I could have easily licked that plate clean as an honour to the cooks and the generousness and flavoursomeness of that BBQ pork & double eggs with rice. Or, in lieu of that, I will have to come back for more, more, more.

The photos on the wall are soooo enticing. Gloss, pretty.

In all seriousness, I was heavily grateful for this meal and thanked the chef on the way out.

True Asian Kitchen is aupgrade from the former China Bar—such a surprise!

Beef Rendang is a standout: super authentic Malaysian-style, aromatic spices. The beef is fall-off-the-bone tender, and it tastes just like what I had at Singapore’s National Kitchen.

The lunch menu has a solid variety, so there’s something for everyone. about half the dishes are freshly stir-fried by the chef, which adds a bit homemade touch. Def worth a visit if you’re after tasty, genuine...
