Old Town Kopi Tiam Mamak

This Malaysian halal foods restaurant is located in QV, a shopping center standing beside The State Library of Victoria,in the Corner Russell Street-Lonsdale Street, Melbourne CBD. It serves the customers Malaysian mamak foods and beverages like roti canai,satay, nasi biryani, fried banana, es cendol, and tea tarikh.

It is a pretty convenient restaurant. The interior design is nice, the staffs keep the restaurant clean, the service is relatively fast, and the ambiance is good as it is warm inside and they let the big television always on to entertain the customers. Beside, you can also get a bottle of water for free if you don't feel like drinking special beverages here.

Last time I went here, I ordered a bowl of beef noodle soup. The
taste was good. It was a mix of boiled soft Chinese noodle, meat balls, and beef. However, it was a very big portion. I guess I should inform you that in general, this restaurant loves to give the customers a big portion of foods, but small portion of hot drink. I ordered a cup of hot tea tarikh as well and the cup was sooo small. I guess, the size was only a half of the normal tea cup. So, it is recommended not to eat anything before you go here and to order cold beverages (it has bigger portion) or take a bottle of free water for your drink.

Though the foods are served in big portion, the price is not expensive. It is a pleasure to find that Indonesian and Malaysian restaurants tends to apply reasonable price, isn't it :) In this restaurant, the price of foods is around $10-15 while it is about $4-10 for the drinks and afters.
