Restaurant Review – Penang Coffee House (Hawthorn VIC) – 3 Stars
From the fitout, you could be sitting in any monochrome kitchen from the early nineties. The service, however, is very different and reminiscent of Hawkers Café, with staff laying down patter and joking around as they served. The menu is extensive and relatively easy to get your head around, but not being too familiar with Malaysian food, some of the dishes were not quite what I was expecting, and seemed dense, dry and very heavily flavoured. Great vegetarian laksa, though, with tender tofu absorbing the creamy broth around it. Overall, definitely worth a visit if Malaysian is what you’re after.
