Ma'leisia Cafe, Parramatta
11 July 2011, 00:47
When Shaun mentioned on the twittersphere about a new Malaysian cafe that just opened up in my hood my ears (and stomach) perked up. Ma’leisia Cafe (5/2 Horwood Pl, Parramatta) is open during the week day and for lunch on Saturdays. There is no teh tarik or kopi-o so the boy and I start with an Ais kacang ($4.90) which is drenched in rose syrup and contains hidden nubbins of rambutan, grass jelly, red beans and topped with a dollop of sweet corn.
Ma’leisia kaya on toast ($3.90) woooooot easy access to kaya on toast at loooong last! Yeah baby yeah! I asked for extra kaya on the side (not sure if there was extra charge) and while not super pandan-y, it was deeeelicious!
Ma’leisia Ipoh Chicken Rice (lunch special $8.90) was perfect. Fragrant chicken rice with tender, juicy pieces of chicken topped with fried garlic. The accompanying soup was fragrant but the bed of bean sprouts was pushed away, unwanted. I haz issues with bean sprouts. Just like how I haz issues with raisins in my cookies.
Chicken Curry Laksa (lunch special $8.90) was crazy spicy, even for the boy. I think we are much too used to laksa lemak which is rich in coconut milk so this laksa felt like we should be eating it with roti haha
Ma’leisia signature Nasi Lemak (lunch special $10.90). The fried chicken had unfortch sold out so I chose the salt & pepper calamari which curiously looked a lil like they’d come from a packet- such perfect looking scrolls! Golden and crunchy the moreish calamari was perfect after a crazy Friday night out.
Roti Canai ($7.90) comes with a choice of curry chicken or beef and 2 pieces of delicious roti. The curry is perfect for a winter day, a rich gravy begging for pieces of roti to be dipped into.
Cendol ($4.90) arrives in a tall glass which messes with my coordination when trying to dig out the pandan noodles. It was a little heavy on the coconut milk and I had issues with the red beans haha but not bad still shiok :P
Back to home
Kaya toast! And Ipoh chicken rice! Looks delicious, although I’m a little dubious about the salt and pepper calamari too.
— Helen (grabyourfork) Jul 11, 01:48 AM #I’d go for the ice cacang, that’s for sure!!! :D
— Fiona Jul 11, 08:21 AM #Eeee kaya toast in Parra?? Must try! I looove bean sprouts AND curry laksa, I am so there.

— Apple @Polkadotsandchopsticks Jul 11, 08:44 AM #Yummy, the laksa and the roti canai looks spectacular… is it wrong to crave this for breakfast…
Perfect dishes for winter.

— Jen Jul 11, 10:12 AM #Kaya on toast and then more kaya – kaya heaven.
— sara @ Belly Rumbles Jul 11, 10:30 AM #Surprisingly from all the yummy photos, I found the kaya toast the most appealing! Love kaya toast, I miss when my dad bought jars and jars of them home for breakky!
— Jenny (minibites) Jul 11, 11:10 AM #Ha ha, I love when I place opens in our hood as I wait for your blog post before I go and check it out. This place looks pretty decent – I’m so there now that you’ve been my taste tester!
— Miss Piggy Jul 11, 11:16 AM #Ooh dericious! The calamari looks a little too perfect, but I’d hoover any of that up in mere seconds
— john@heneedsfood Jul 11, 11:40 AM #I think that bed of bean sprouts was going a little too far and I love bean sprouts. Looks nice though and cheap and close to where I live!
— muppy Jul 11, 12:21 PM #There is no other word for this post but YES. Kaya and sweet sweet desserts that don’t exist in poocanberra…
— Hannah Jul 11, 12:40 PM #Oh I am SOOO dying to try Kaya and buttered toast – argh! Have I damned rural country living before in comments?

— Fabs Jul 11, 09:53 PM #At least you had the cendol to calm your buds down after that laksa. Is it bad that I like my Laksa sweet?!
I concur with you on bean sprouts…don’t like em, never have, never will. I even shove them away when havin Pho.
— Adrian (Food Rehab) Jul 11, 09:55 PM #Awesome another place to get my fix of Malaysian food and it’s local yay!
