About Tom's Place Malaysian Chinese Cuisine

Tom’s Place serves authentic Malaysian Chinese hawker fare in Mildura, skipping localized shortcuts for big, uncompromising flavours. Inside the bright, no-frills dining room, tables fill quickly with workers and travelling regulars chasing serious wok hei. The kitchen bypasses pub-strip standards in favour of smoky Char Kway Teow, fragrant Nasi Lemak with creamy chicken curry, and sizzling claypot pork belly cooked down with salted fish. Portions arrive fast and heavy on value—just note the premises are strictly alcohol-free, leaving soft drinks and hot tea to accompany sambal-slicked water spinach and garlic greens.

  • Uncompromised Hawker Menu: Char Kway Teow, Ipoh Wat Tan Ho, and claypot pork belly with salted fish deliver rich wok heat without city travel.
  • Substantial Portions, Quick Turnaround: Generous plates of Nasi Lemak, fried rice, and stir-fries arrive quickly at reasonable prices for dine-in or takeaway.
  • Strictly Alcohol-Free: The dining room operates without an alcohol license, focusing wholly on casual, everyday dining with soft drinks and tea.

  • Char Kway Teow

    My wife had char kway teow, I tried a small amount of it and it was also excellent. Good amount of ingredients, very flavourful, nice wok hei.

  • Nasi Lemak

    I had Nasi lemak curry chicken. Very flavourful creamy curry, and nice spicy and sweet sambal. Rice perfectly cooked and nice amount of coconut flavour. Ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber and egg on the side, all complemented the dish well.

  • Claypot Pork Belly with Salted Fish

    To me, the 4 Heavenly Kings and Claypot Pork Belly can easily beat the best out of Melbourne.
