About Kerabu

Kerabu plates punchy Thai and Malaysian cooking on Burke Road with generous portions, zero weekend surcharges, and BYO wine. Regulars pack both levels early for crispy Hoy Jor—tofu skin stuffed with crab, chicken, and water chestnut—before calling for avocado nahm jim prawns. Mains lean regional and unapologetic, from the richly spiced gulai ikan and wok-seared noodles to the sesame crusted duck. For groups heading upstairs around the big round tables, the share-friendly banquet keeps things easy, right down to bowls of warm pulut hitam and sweet gula melaka sago.

  • Generous Portions: Generous servings across entrees and curries make family banquets and communal dining easy to share.
  • Southeast Asian Signatures: Regional Thai and Malaysian signatures lead the menu, featuring fragrant gulai ikan and sesame crusted duck.
  • BYO Wine Policy: Guests can bring their own wine to pair with meals, complemented by an in-house wine selection.
  • No Surcharges: Dining incurs no weekend markups and no credit card surcharges.

  • Authentic Thai-Malaysian Flavours & Hearty Portions

    Generous helpings of signature Southeast Asian dishes such as crispy Hoy Jor, duck curry, and fish gulai consistently deliver authentic regional flavours.

    Every dish was so well done and the helpings were extremely generous! Worth coming to if you have a craving for high quality Thai/Maysian food!

  • Hearty Servings That Justify Every Dish

    Specialty dishes like gulai ikan and rich curries offer substantial value and quality that leave guests eager to return with family.

    The fish was very well cooked with nice curry flavor. Again in large portion. Initially, my friend thought $45 was too expensive for a fish dish, but after he saw the portion and had the food, he is 100% convinced it’s value for money

    We met friends and did BYO and our meal cost $40pp. Seriously- not 3 courses but more than enough - the duck salad and duck curry our favs.
