We were in the country for a few weeks and when we ponder back to our favorite food spot this kept being our answer when we thought. It's a few blocks off the water but the quality of food and culinary experience was truly unmatched. The Sashimi was the one thing she said we had to get. I have only started trying this dish but this was far and away the best I've had. My wife was a bit skeptical of going here but honestly there are options on the menu for all types and just exceeded all expectations. Go there tonight !!!

Totally unnecessary music volume (it's not just loud because of voices, this is controllable by the restaurant, and they've apparently decided that conversation is not necessary/encouraged?

I walk passed Taste of Melaka on our first night visiting Byron Bay for the Easter long weekend…read moreholiday. It was packed full with diners at 11pm. I wished I had gone back for their food on our second night so I could come back a second time to try the rest of their menu. Unfortunately we only come back on our last night (the 6th) as I thought it was another coastal town Malaysian restaurant with disappointing subpar standard (westernised, everything tasted too sweet) much like Asia Joe's. Taste of Melaka turned out to be the best Malaysian restaurant in Australia! I do not say this lightly as I was born and grew up in Malaysia. Although I have lived in Sydney for the last 21 years, I go back to Malaysia frequently and I am still very familiar with the authentic flavours of Malaysian food. I had Taste of Melaka's Roti Kosong (plain roti), Nasi Lemak with Chicken Curry and Seafood Char Kway Teow. The roti and Nasi Lemak tasted just like what we get in Malaysia. They are 100% authentic! They are even better than a lot of the places I have tried in Malaysia as they are not as greasy. They are perfect in texture and taste, which is light, crispy and fluffy. The coconut rice is definitely the best version of what I have tasted in Australia. It is the Indian version made from basmati rice, which gives a dryer, lighter, fluffier feel and the rice have looser grains with just the right amount of coconut milk. It is perfect to be scooped down with the chicken curry sauce and the crunchy peanuts, ikan billis (anchovies) and sambal. The flavours of Taste of Malaka reminded me of the countless nights I had supple with friends till 2 or 3 am at the warong and Mamak stalls (small family own street food stall, warong is Malay own and Mamak is Malaysian Tamil Muslim) during my high school time in country town Malaysia. The Seafood Char Kway Teow was also wonderful. Although it is not the Penang style with dark soy sauce we are more familiar with. The flavour is undoubtedly authentic Asian packed full of "wok breath" and the seafood (tiger prawns, calamari and fish balls) are so fresh and generous. If you told me that the best Malaysian you have ever had was the ever so popular franchise Malaysian restaurant - Mamak, in Sydney or Melbourne, don't get offended if I laughed hard at your face and tell you that they are not even authentic Malaysian in my book! I'll say stand aside Mamak! You are so overrated! I wish I could take Taste of Malaka to Sydney and visit them at least once every week... If you are after authentic Malaysian food, I urge you to pay Taste of Malaka a visit. I only wish I discovered them earlier and have a chance to try more of their dishes. I would certainly come back though when I visit Byron Bay again. P.S.: Roti needs curry sauce for dipping. If you order the roti, you need to order some kind of curry as the roti is not served with dipping sauce. It is usually come with a curry sauce in Sydney, or at least two dipping sources in Malaysia.

Overall, the food is impressive too; possibly the best acacia bowl I've ever had. Quality for price won't disappoint. Although lots of seating, mostly outside, this place can be jammed. They encourage you to find a seat and then order at the counter, which is nice but odd. Most of the seating is low so it's not ideal for most aging adults. My issues here are that some of the cushions are way overdue a cleaning and it's often very noisy, which isn't how I like to savor my morning cup of coffee.

My husband and son enjoyed their meals too (although they didn't have a kid's menu). I'd definitely come here again, but I do think the prices are very steep.
