Fortunes Asian Cuisine - Malvern, Vic Chefs laksa w/ stuffed egg plant, tofu, and bean curd. Fortunes Asian Cuisine is a Malaysian x Chinese restaurant on Glenferrie Road, a shop that’s got a steady flow of Uber eats deliveries coming and going. Because I like my meals hot and I don’t pander to these corporations 30% surcharge for a meal I decided to eat in. It’s the only way - especially for soup. Who wants a joke warm soup any way. A menu with a huge title that said Chef’s Special was thrust in front of me - I was delighted to see a range of stuffed items on offer, something I hadn’t seen on this town before and something that M Yong Tofu in Flemington does extremely well. I ordered the laksa with stuffed things and it came out to my table quickly. Now many things lack colour including my skin pigmentation after a night of heavy drinking but I was quite shocked at the sheer lack of colour in this dish - it was a pasty off white colour (just like me). As soon as I saw the colour of this dish I immediately ordered some samba and dumped it into the laksa as I was almost certain this broth would need more flavour. That was my first mistake - the laksa while not completely flagrant did already have quite the spicy kick to it. Something I wasn’t expecting from a hole in the wall chinese x Malaysian restaurant in Malvern. The laksa contained two types of noodles - a must but didn’t contain much else other than the stuffed tofu. Somewhat of a let down considering competitors add eggplant, broccoli, beans to jazz up their soups. While this wasn’t the most exciting soup a basic elements were there and the stuffed items were something different. However these lacked lots of flavour that could have helped the very basic dish.

A no-frills local Cantonese Malaysian restaurant owned by a middle aged couple. Most of the customers come here to get takeaway so they were preparing orders like crazy and didn’t really have time to serve us (not really their fault I know, but didn’t add to the experience). We ordered a combination laksa and roti chanai with curry vegetables. Laksa was a bit too milky and creamy for my liking and the Yong tofu also kind of lacked flavour. I asked for chilli and they only have one type of chilli oil, no Sambal - maybe that was why the laksa was missing a punch. Good thing was that the chilli oil is actually home made and had a kick to it. I think they probably do better in the Chinese style stir fries as I could smell the amazing wok hei coming out of the kitchen... will probably try one of those next time if I happen to come back.

Amazing combination crispy noodles. It's $22.90 and comes with 2 large plump prawns, tender chicken, char siu, vegetables and fish cake. The noodles are crisp and there is plenty of delicious sauce too. My friend enjoyed his Sichuan chilli beef with rice. You can ask for chilli oil which has a good kick.

Probably the best noodle broth I’ve ever had. That was fantastic. But everything else about the prawn dumpling noodle soup was just okay. Willing to come back and try other dishes though! Kind and welcoming staff as well.

I'm not certain about the colour of the interior being all that great, but the food here is so modestly priced and generally pretty good quality. The BBQ Pork & Wonton Lor Mee is one of my favourites here, and I find myself dining in at least once a fortnight. My other recommendation is the Belachan Green Beans on rice. Simple, and we'll sized.

By far the best chinese restaurant we've been to. A friend who is a frequent diner has introduced us to the place. Ever since then we come to eat often with my husband. Love the food and how fresh they cook the meals. We will definitely go back for more. ❤️

They just throw everything in the one bag and hope for the best my wife had to clean up their mess just to be able to access our food. 5 dishes + 2 bottle of drinks in one bag. I won't be reordering.

Discovered this place during covid lockdown and it has became a comfort-food favourite. The duck soup is to die for, and the chicken stuffed tofu another fave. Most of the food seems to be hand made from scratch and very tasty. Support local!

The crispy noodles combination was just the BEST!! As was the prawn Laksa...7 stars for taste & customer service!!

I have been eating here for 8 or 9 years. I have the same thing everytime satay beef, its amazing. The owners are lovely, they know my name, know my order. Never had a problem, love it.

The Peking duck was delicious and unique in wrappings....the sauce was just right for an appetizer. Steam Barramundi was delicious and the texture of the fish was exquisite.

The interior is slightly too dark. Lunch is good. Not the cheapest, but normal price in Malvern. Service is not bad. But I would to see bigger potion of lunch speacial

I’m so obsessed with the laksa here! I’m no expert of Malaysian food but this is one of the best I’ve had.

Terrible service. Delivery order took two hours (no exaggeration) and was incorrect when it finally arrived. Food is Ok, but certainly not worth that wait!

Wonderful wonton noodle soup. Full of flavour and without the MSG. Char Sui on rice is the best within 3 km of Malvern. I can't recommend it enough.

Traditional Cantonese style cafe operated by the owner Claudia. Delicious meals, eat-in or take away. Definitely a family favourite!!

No long wait on food and it tasted great. Good value

Decent chinese food with friendly service. The couple has been running this business for years and the quality remains consistent.

Totally recommend this place, open Sunday's, delicious, authentic Malay Chinese at a reasonable price. Malay chef prepared meals.

Went there today with my son. Friendly services, efficient. Food was good. Place is clean. Nothing to complain.

I used to go here twice a week, but not anymore. The food was OK, but the service was both slow and unfriendly.

Outstanding freshly cooked authentic Chinese food. Eating in or take-away are both excellent. …

Friendly staff and tasty food. We will recommend people to eat there. See the dishes we ate!! Yummy!

Good food, good value.
