This sweet little store offers a very comprehensive malay menu (77 items!) and some of the best value meals I have encountered in west end. I usually get the crisp and fresh vegetarian spring rolls, and the yummy chef's special of kaffir lime fried chicken. But be sure to also stick around for dessert! (sticky black rice pudding with coconut milk = amazing) And with under $15 a meal what's not to love about Little Malaysia?

My partner and I had been recommended Little Malaysia by a friend months ago when looking for a…read moregood laksa, but unfortunately had only been around West End on Tuesdays - when they're closed. Until now. Was on a nice drive when BAM - hunger struck. What better time than now to try? Got a park close (free on weekends - score) and decided against the specials board. We couldn't resist the temptation of our old friends Singapore noodles and char kuey teow. The place had a few people around, but was easy to grab a seat and sip on our iced teas. Oh, they also have bubble tea too. My partner's Singapore noodles came out within 5 minutes and my char kuey teow wasn't long after. Oh yeah, that hit the spot. Nice smokey flavour, enough spice to taste it but not to be overwhelming, good ratio of noodle to bean sprouts. Just how I like it. The seafood is what usually makes or breaks it for me, and this was not broken. Tasty and well cooked for the meal. My partner says that the Singapore noodles tasted good but weren't the best. I like mine with a lot of lemon and none was provided but that's just my thoughts. So, small, cheap, tasty, fast, friendly service. I'd come back, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

I…read moreknow there are a number of halal shops and butchers on the south side of town (Underwood, Sunnybank, Mt Gravatt), but Ismail's is the only one I know of in the city or Valley or inner suburbs. Located in the McWhirter Building, Ismail's Discount Halal Meats stocks a great range of chicken and beef sausages that are extremely tasty. They also stock beef salami and mortadella, which is very hard to get from most of the regular butchers or delis. My husband doesn't eat pork, so we're constantly on the look out for alternative deli/sandwich meats. The staff are always friendly and accommodating to any specific requests you have. We've asked them to cut the leg of lamb or rump steak a certain way, depending on what the recipe calls for.

It's hard to find lunch time meals less than $10 these days, but the butter chicken with rice is exactly that. Plus the meal sizes are generous so I actually take the left over home and prepare a raita and salad to make an easy dinner for one when I'm feeling lazy. The owner is always really friendly and once he worked out I was dropping by every week, he started giving me extra meat. I couldn't even finish the original serving size but it was such a nice gesture I didn't have the heart to stop him. I wish this place was open late on a Friday or a Saturday night. Located just inside McWhirters Mall next door to McDonalds, it'd be perfect for an informal, late night dinner after hitting the Valley bars.
