The Snapper Curry Fish Head was the bomb! Comfort food man. Simmered with eggplant, long beans, okra, tomato and taufoopok in a spicy coconut curry. Ayam Kadazan was marinated using chef’s blend of spices, deep fried to puurrrrfection. Having not had Ayam Kadazan before, the initial taste did take me by surprise. Pai Kuat Wong was typical and Belacan Kangkung needed more Belacan? Foodcoma

While I still and will always feel that Malaysian food is overpriced here in Australia, I do want to say that Kopitim is one of the better places to go to if you’re looking for Malaysian food in Adelaide. When I first moved to Adelaide, there really weren’t that many restaurants selling Malaysian specific food in Adelaide, and even if they did, they didn’t sell a broad selection of it. Kopitim is good in the sense that they serve what is pretty much the full range of Malaysian food you’d be most likely to crave for. Whether it be hokkien noodles, nasi lemak, chicken rice or just a cup of tea tarik, they’ve got it. Now a lot of people would argue that though their dishes are good, not all of them quite meet the standard of «just like how they make it back home». Well fair enough, given the circumstances that you are in AUSTRALIA, I think most of the dishes they serve are close enough if you’re looking for a taste of home. I personally will go there usually if I feel like a cup of tea tarik and some roti canai if I suddenly get those«mamak» withdrawals. It’s not the same as back home, but hey, it is close enough. One thing I can really commend Kopitim on is their selection of drinks and desserts. They have things on their menu that you would be hard pressed to find in any other Malaysian restaurant in Adelaide. Things like«Bubur Cha Cha» which is a Nyonya dessert served with coconut milk and sweet potato is just one example of the kinds of desserts that you can find on their menu. The first Malaysian restaurant that ever came onto my radar when I arrived in Adelaide, I will always recommend Kopitim as a place to go for Malaysians looking for a taste of home.

Say hello to one of the best Malaysian restaurants in town. Get onto the Kung Po chicken, Nasi Lemak, Kangkung in XO sauce, and Roti Chanai! Each dish is well-presented, aromatic, and delicious. This is flavour at its best, people! Walking in, you will find yourself in a small space that fits only around 15 people. However, keep on walking through, and you’ll find the back area is great for large groups. Order some steamed rice and share a number of dishes, put it all out on the table family-style, or if you’re starving and don’t want to share, there are some one-person mains as well. Located on the less busier side of Gouger St, parking is much easier too.

Malaysia calling! Fans of nasi lemak, char keow teoy, Hainanese chicken rice et al will agree with me that this is by far the closest hawker style food you will ever experience out of Malaysia. The flavor, waft of aroma seeping from the ginger tainted chicken rice and beautiful laid out dishes is enough to send most of you running into a travel agency to book your next flight to Malaysia. When I crave for a creamy coconut chicken curry to accompany my nasi lemak or want that tangy lemon grass in my mouth whilst I dig into a huge bowl of laksa, Kopitim is the place to be! With lunch promos capped at $ 8.90, there is plenty for everyone to sample and boast. As I reflected on my ancestral crib in Kuala Lumpur, I ordered the claypot chicken rice. Cooked in a claypot(duh!), the rice peppered with sweet soy sauced chicken, lap chong(sweet pork) and strips of ginger was utterly divine. Although it set me back to $ 17.90 for this dish, it’s was a perfect meal to share with my 3 hunger-panic mates. For the sweet tooth addicts, sample what many Malaysians make during tea time. Pick the glutinous rice balls, cendol, ice kacang, sago gula Melaka and many more, all at an affordable range of $ 4.50-$ 8.90. If you haven’t tried Kopitim, I urge you to. Be warned, it’s highly addictive!
