About Malaymas

Unassuming storefront on St Georges Road—blink and you drive right past. But step inside for family-run, traditional Malaysian cooking with serious staying power. Melbourne noodle chasers cross the city for the Char Kway Teow, arriving smoky from the wok with big prawns and zero greasy residue. The Hainanese chicken rice comes tender, fragrant, and piled high alongside a cup of pickled green chilli. Regulars make a ritual of the coconut curry laksa, balancing the deep, spiced broth with a spoon of fiery sambal. You round it out with crisp homemade curry puffs, tender beef rendang, and a glass of iced teh tarik topped with a frozen milk-tea bear.

  • Signature Char Kway Teow: Noodles tossed with prawns and smoky wok hei, keeping the texture clean without heavy oil.
  • Hainanese Chicken Rice: Generous cuts of tender chicken served with fragrant rice and pickled green chilli.
  • Rich Curry Laksa: Rich coconut broth spiked with sambal, loaded with chicken, tofu, or fish balls.
  • Generational Institution: Decades-old family recipes served across bustling, fast-paced hawker-style tables.

  • Dependable Takeout and Swift Weeknight Pickups

    Rapid telephone pick-ups and sturdy takeout packaging allow locals to enjoy generous noodle and chicken dishes seamlessly on busy evenings.

    My favourite lazy dinner routine is ordering a noodle dish or Hainanese chicken rice over the phone and picking it up 15 min later

  • Hainanese Chicken Rice

    Their Hainanese chicken takeaway serving is so generous and delicious, I love how light and fragrant the components are.

  • Beef Rendang

    Beef Rendang is also a must order - beef is slow cooked so super soft.. I could have more than 2-3 bowls of rice with the hainanese chicken and beef rendang.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, room navigation, and street parking before you visit.

  • Book and Pre-Order Chicken

    Seats fill quickly and the signature Hainanese chicken often sells out, so make an advance reservation and request your chicken ahead of time.

  • Navigate a Compact Dining Room

    The dining space is tightly packed with tables, making navigation challenging for patrons with limited mobility or prams.

  • Check Street Parking Signs

    Street parking is available along St Georges Road, but check the posted time limits and clearway restrictions carefully to avoid fines.
