Malay Chinese Noodle Bar

When it comes to the debate of whether laksa originated in Singapore, Indonesia or Malaysia, Sydney Place is officially Switzerland – all that matters here is whether it’s good. And to be frank, it doesn’t get any better than the family recipe refined by Malay Chinese Noodle Bar founder Meng over nearly four decades behind simmering pots of goodness.

Meng’s authentic Malay cooking is legendary in Sydney, and his restaurants are an altar of flavour for the city’s foodies. Now, his hawker favouriites – think Hainan Chicken Rice, Char Kway Teow, Sing Chow Mai and of course over ten varieties of authentic Malay laksa – are prized fare for CBD workers and visitors of Sydney Place each day.
