Nasi Lemak House

Grattan Street, Carlton

Malaysian

Price: Quite cheap

I am slowly (but not that slowly) working my way through their entire menu, and have yet to be disappointed. The traditional nasi lemak is delish - order it spicy and you get it 'malaysian' spicy - yum. The various laksas (curry, seafood, veg) are to die for and even the mee goreng is extremely tasty, though a wee bit sweet for my liking. The place is always packed at lunchtime, primarily with Malaysian students from Melbourne Uni. I'm planning to remember to take my own cup for water next time as they serve everything in polystyrene cups and plastic plates.
