The Malaya

The Malaya Review

The cocktails (all A$16.50) are legendary, the view is captivating, and the food, a traditional Chinese/Malay fusion, is extraordinary. After 48 years in the business, in different venues around Sydney, this modern Asian restaurant still does a roaring trade. Signature dishes include beef Rendang (Indonesian-style beef curry), and marinated, sticky-sweet, and crunchy Szechuan eggplant that's so good it may just be the food of the gods. Try one of the four set menus (for a minimum of three people and A$48 per person) for a true feast on the extensive menu's flavor combinations.

    The Malaya is a large, busy, bustling place so great for groups but not really a venue for an intimate dinner. The food is delicious, service is efficient and you may even manage a water view if you're lucky.
    Located in the Cockle Bay/Darling Harbour restaurant precint, The Malaya has a lot of competition but comes up trumps as a local favourite. Catch a ferry, monorail, or an easy walkfrom the CBD but parking is very limited.
    Go for a reasonably priced fun night to sample Asian flavours.
