About Malay Malay Haymarket

Fast, aromatic Malaysian street cooking anchors this Ultimo Road room, where steaming bowls and sizzling woks hit tables in minutes. Hainan chicken arrives tender over fragrant rice, while plates of char kway teow carry true wok hei from the flames. Coconut curry laksa comes standard with both yellow egg noodles and rice vermicelli tangled together beneath generous ladles of spiced broth. Regulars also lean toward the regional Penang Asam laksa, crowned with mackerel, pineapple chunks, and sliced cucumber in a sour tamarind soup.

  • Dual-Noodle Laksa Bowls: Curry laksa bowls pair springy egg noodles and thin rice noodles in rich coconut soup, topped with tender Hainan chicken.
  • Penang Asam Laksa: Regional tamarind fish broth loaded with mackerel, cucumber, pineapple chunks, and fresh chilli slices.
  • Speedy Hawker Fare: Flaky roti canai, tender beef rendang, and charred noodle dishes come together quickly for shared table spreads.

  • Authentic Penang Asam Laksa

    Alongside creamy coconut curry laksa, the kitchen prepares regional hawker specialties like Penang Asam laksa featuring tamarind fish broth, mackerel, pineapple, and cucumber.

    I highly highly recommend trying the penang Assam laksa if you haven't, it so interesting and delicious.
