Old Town Malaysian Cafe

We were after some traditional Malaysian food for lunch and heard lots about this place so thought of trying it. Would definitely go back as we had no complaints about the food although the char kway teow portion was a little light. The only thing that we missed out on was the carrot cake as they weren’t available that day and was the main dish we wanted to try. The place is really simple and kind of nostalgic in a way back in Malaysia so don’t expect a fancy atmosphere. Toilets are available at the back and a few street parking around.

We came by for dinner. The restaurant is located on Great North Road close to the Rata Street/Titirangi Road intersection. There are quite a few parking spots on the street. The restaurant isn't very big but we were able to get a table without booking. The menu on the wall has the same items as the actual menu. We grabbed a few items to share including the yong tofu, which is one of their specialty dish. We grabbed a wat tan hor, mee goreng and the yong tau foo on rice. The wat tan hor was quite nice since the rice noodles had a slight char taste and the gravy was nice. The mee goreng was also nice with bits of crackling in it. The yong tau foo was interesting and I did like it. It came with a spicy bean sauce and there was a series of different items filled with the fish paste. The food here is cooked quite nicely and I also noticed they had silver needle noodle which is also called a rat tail noodle. Certainly a nice place for Malaysian food.

We ordered Mee goreng and Singapore fried Vermicelli. Mee goreng was ok, nothing spectacular, had better ones here in Auckland. Sg fried Vermicelli is way better than the mee goreng and it's worth ordering again. Though we were not sure if what we got is really sg fried vermicelli. Their "Sg fried vermicelli is not the usual with the curry taste. Serving is not that generous. We still going to try other items on their menu.

[Nasi Lemak Curry Chicken] Serving size is 706g including the container. Chicken is skin bone in chicken and the meat is very tender. Because the meat and the bone so tender, be cautious not to bite the bone pieces. Other than this, overall taste is pretty good.

Good food and good service. We ordered the sambal petai with prawns on rice, beef rendang on rice, Ning yong, yong tau foo, fish head noodle soup, pan mee and char kuey tiao. All were delicious and met our expectations. Char kuey tiao wad exceptionally good. Had to order a 2nd plate. The kids enjoyed the food with no complaints too. Everyone left with happy bellies.
