Try Mumbai Hakka restaurant in West Footscray. They specialize in indo-chinese cuisine and i can vouch for the taste. It tastes exactly the same as you will get back in Mumbai!

I went to this restaurant tonight and have to say we were very disapointed, the food lacked zing. It was very oily and we could not identify what was in our seafood noodle dish. I am sorryhope this does not offend as I am not usually that blunt or rude however Mr M and I will never be returning to this establishment.

Got it!! Namaskar India at 20 Glenferrie Road offers Indo-chinese cuisine..and its excellent!! Food was good, portions reasonable, and service efficient. The food is spicy, so be forewarned! They have another branch in Carlton, which certainly must be skipped - fails on all counts its cousin in Glenferrie excels at. Must try!

Hi Dipa. That's really interesting info - thanks so much! Definitely let us know if you find the place in the city you were thinking about or any other restaurants around town that do the indian-chinese combination well.

This post has turned out to be really informative!

Thanks for that Foodiefi...apparently there is a place called Namaskar on Glenferrie Road that does serve Indian chinese..Ill see if I go there...the history of the Chinese Indian connection is quite fascinating..India has a tiny Chinese population, predominently Cantonese and Hakka. As a child, all beauty salons, almost as a rule, were owned and managed by people of Chinese origin, with the most

Hi Dee,

Eek, nothing's springing to mind, sorry! If I think of anything before Friday though, I'll comment here.

I'm dining out with a friend on Friday night, and I promised her!! Help!!!!

Hi Irisav,

Thanks for your excellent comment. That's really useful information about the origins of Malaysian food and also about how we should expect it to be served traditionally in restaurants.

Thanks also for recommendations about particular dishes at Satay Anika. I'm sure we'll be back there and I'll look out for the beef rendang.

Satay Anika is one of the better Malay restaurants in town, although you can't really go past Laksa
king in newmarket for authentic Curry Laksa.

I'm not sure of the etiquette when commenting on blogs but I would like to correct the blogger on a few points.

Firstly, Malaysian food is certainly comprised of Indian and Chinese influences (the population demographics sit at 30%

It's such a great strip - Lygon St between Brunswick Rd and Albion St. And now, with George Calombaris moving in, it's about to get a whole lot more attention!

Mmm, I'm a sucker for anything Malaysian, so this was a welcome tip. I don't catch the tram up your way often enough!
