It is known that my favorite food is Malaysian, although other cuisine comes in a near second and third. For my birthday, my partner Jim brought me to a restaurant in Newport, near Newport Station. The owner Noel and his nice host...Veronica make a fabulous team. Noel has not only a passion for his food, but for life itself. It creates a welcoming atmosphere of warmth and generous hospitality. Kuala Lumpur was born, he learned to cook from his mother and carries this tradition for his loyal customers in small old Newport. As we have repeatedly denounced, people are coming to place or pick up their order, and everyone is on a first name basis. Noel asks about her day, her family and joins them in a way that is authentic, genuine and open, quite refreshing. Noel took our order of vegetarian curry puffs, beef return and a roti with peanut sauce, but for me, he did something not from the menu but his own creation of noodles, vegetables and chicken. So let me unpack the comfort of our meal. Vegetarian curry puffs. Who had no curry buffers where the pastry around the edges was thick and a little crispy and lacked a lot of filling. Me! Always! Not here in Hawkers Lane. The pastry was tender and light, generously filled with vegetables. I could order half a dozen, just like a meal. As a Malaysian food aficionado, this is by far the best curry buffers ever! Beef yield. A popular menu and Noels version was gently spicy with a sauce that was not too sweet. Served with steamed rice, Jim said it was the best he ever had. My meal. Chicken, vegetables and noodles were made by Noel for me. Was not on the menu, only made for me with ingredients I told him I love most. Fresh and generous portion size. Roti with peanut sauce. The Roti was well cooked, but the peanut sauce was a "Jammy" combination of peanuts and other ingredients that were luscious and saporous. It should be filled and sold to the public. Before we left, Jim tried a seafood curry buffer and again, a culinary treat. There's a rumor that people are ringing through their pick-up order in Yarraville, dropping off at Newport and picking up their order and coming back to the next train. Apparently as a traveler and reviewer, I've been thriving all over the world and I'm always on the hunt for good Malaysian food and here it was just a few suburbs from my home. We will return soon! Tera makasi Noel. Notes: cash only as an ATM next door. A total of 9 stools indoors and occasionally outdoors. Wheelchair accessible, but tables are high, so would be a challenge to eat at a table. BYO's okay. Good parking. Kid friendly. Great takeaway service. Accessible by public transport. Dietaries you let know.
