“ Took me right back to an authentic Kopitiam. Kuehs are super tasty, Joong and Nasi Lemak on point. A tiny bit sad face that syrup in the Tofu Fa tasted like golden syrup rather than gingery gula Melaka, but tofu was heavenly soft. WAY better than Favourite Kitchen. ”

“ A great little cafe located within Colonial Fresh in Doncaster Westfield. My sister and I ordered a large batch of 20 curry puffs from My Colonial Coffee Cafe for a birthday party celebration. Ordered in person a week before and picked it up in person the following week. No issues with making an order and picking it up. Very organised. The curry puffs were a big hit! Good quality and a generous size which everyone really enjoyed. Very delicious and yummy. Would come again. We will be getting curry puffs from here for our next get together. ”

“ Delicious siew bao & curry puff from the pantry, we also had the nasi Lemak bungkus with fried chicken which the lady heated up for us. We brought home the kuih which were soft & tasty too. Can understand why this place is popular among the locals. Had a variety of rice dumplings, our favourite is the Nyonya one, then the 鹹肉粽, the last one would be the Cantonese style. ”

“ Surprised to find a Malaysian Cafe serving Malaysian food in the middle of Colonial Fresh Market. Tried an irresistible bamboo wrapped dumpling and it was delightful - to be reminded of home with Malaysian “Kopi”… Awesome experience and great service. ”

“ Very authentic Malaysian food. The only place have just sambal petai without rice and randang chicken without rice as dish. Grab whatever you want and they will heat up for you. It is inside the Colonial Fresh supermarket. They also have usual Western food too. Overall very good food. You can reserve your food if you want to, but no guarantee. Worth an hour drive to get there. Seats are limited. Be early if you want to sit inside. ”

“ If you're craving for some Malaysian delicacies and food this little gem is worth the visit. Tucked inside Colonial Market itself, you can take away or dine in. However, there are limited seating area. There are various types of nasi lemak bungkus.Had the ones with prawns and another with petai. Both have the right spice level. The rice can be improved as it is lacking the fragrance of coconut. The curry puff pastry is good. Decent ingredients amount used for the price of $3.20 for the normal ones and $3.50 for eggs. Teh tarik is not diluted and right amount of sweetness. AngKu and Char Siew Pao is equally good. AngKu is thr best so far in Melbourne! All in all a decent experience with friendly staff. Will recommend. ”

“ Ordered nasi lemak packets and a kuih platter for an event. Guests really enjoyed the food. Will definitely order again. Very reasonable prices ($6.50 for nasi lemak bungkus) and wide variety, like squid sambal and fried chicken. ”

“ Enjoying the nasi lemak and giant curry puff at Colonial Cafe. The nasi lemak is very good and quite good level of spiciness. The chicken curry puff is quite large, puffy and flavourful. ”
