Always looking to try something different, I found myself at Pak Hailam Kopitiam seeing what…read moreMalaysian food was all about. Service was quick. I was there for an early dinner and there were not many other people there. I had some type of sweetened hot tea that was very tasty. I can't remember what It was called. For dinner I settled on what I think was the Kampung Mee Goreng and I chose seafood. It was a fried noodle dish. I could smell it when they started cooking it and my mouth began to water. It smelled good. The food did not disappoint. It was a little salty for me but there were very good flavors in this dish. I have become a fan of Malaysian food.

This Malaysian restaurant is located near the river on Church St. and across from Bay Vista. I had…read moreChar Kway Teow which came with two different types of noodle and had lots of flavour from the wok. Also tried a Sambal Fish dish which was also very tasty. Prices are very reasonable and portions are good! The restaurant is also very spacious.

Opened up 3 weeks ago, the wife & I decided to pop by as we were craving Malaysian food…read more The food was delicious, the curry beef & the roti was on point! Even though we were full, we decided to give dessert a go. We ordered the sticky rice pudding & the kuih ketayap (pandan crepe, coconut & ice cream), both were superb. The staff were exceptional, very friendly & cheerful. You can really tell that they want you to enjoy the food & have a great time there. Makes it easier that it's BYO, so bring along your favourite & relax. We'll definitely be coming back here & supporting a great local business!

This was up there on one of the most terrible eating experiences I have had in Newcastle. I was out…read morewith my family for my mothers birthday and not only was the service slow, but missed parts of the order. It was cramped eating and automatically felt cramped upon entering. The food and its flavour was confused, having eaten authentic Malaysian food it did not compare. The food was also not well presented or explained well.

We found this restaurant very accidentally, but everything is so above our expectations. The food…read moreis fantastic and the lady there is so nice! My mom couldn't help talking about how good the food is in the next 24 hours.

Well coat me in sambal and call me spicy, there's a new Malaysian restaurant just down the road…read morefrom me and I don't know what its name means but it's fun to sound out phonetically. Berempah. See? Swung past for one of their lunch specials, got the $9.90 vegetarian curry (with a hit of sambal on the side, natch). Welcome to flavourville, population: your homeboy me. The curry is made on lentils with big steaming hunks of potato and eggplant, there's tomato and carrot in there, and coriander and chilli. I'd actually eat it just as a soup but I love rice so much I'll never look a gift rice in the face if someone is throwing it at me. I'd just catch it in a bowl and now it's my rice. These guys better get used to seeing me at lunchtimes on my phone.

One of the few restaurants that open early, at 5:00pm. With young kids it was nice to be able to…read moreeat early. The service was pretty good and the portions reasonable. Food tasted good. The kids had satay chicken and spring rolls followed by deep fried battered squid. I can't help but compare them to the Salt & Pepper Squid served in the Qantas First Class Lounge in Sydney. They taste just the same! The Fried Koay Teow was a little pale but pretty good. The specialty of the house, crispy skin pork in special sauce was good but a little too oily. I could not eat too many pieces. The curry chicken with Roti was ordinary. Sambal Kankong was passable. There was no iced Kopi, so I settled for iced milk tea. This was extremely sweet but tasted okay when you add a bit more water.
