   Very disappointing. Long ago I use to dine regularly here. It seems inflation and shrinkflation along with less flavour have ruined a once great place. When asked for extra plates to share the different dishes they were rude about it. When asked to make a dish spicy they wanted to charge extra which is a first when dinning. Won't be back. Too many other great spots in walking distance to bother again.

   I love this little restaurant! Have been going here since 2020, great food, lovely staff. Can eat in but a lot of people get takeaway. If you want something cheap grab a roti chanai with a curry, it's my favourite small meal/snack. The menu is pretty solid and has that smokey wok hei flavour that you're always craving with a good Asian takeaway. The staff are really nice and a really supportive of the local community, they always have lots of posters of upcoming events in their window. Pretty nice to sit outside on a good day and share food with friends!

   We ordered satay burger and beef rendang for dine in and this review only applies for those foods. The food doesn't have a taste, the vegetables is ok, the beef rendang does not taste what it used to be. The burger is not as good. Service is okay but could have been better. It seems that the place needs a bit of tidying and some rearrangement so it could have some good atmosphere.

   Ordered takeout - satay chicken skewers, veggie curry, and rice for $40. Yikes. Simply awful. Skewers were thin and dry. Much smaller than appeared in picture and not a strong satay flavour at all. Veggie curry was extremely watery (tasteless) and had 4 pieces of tofu in it. The only veggies were broccoli, carrot, and a handful of cabbage for some reason - all extremely overcooked and mushy. Now, the rice. Honestly, the worst I've ever had. I don't say that lightly - tastes like GMO rice boiled in a pot, squishy and plastered. Held no flavour or texture profiles and was a chore to choke down. This particular kingdom needs usurping, and fast.

   Ordered Satay Kingdom through Menulog and was disappointed when Menulog never delivered my order! On pickup, Satay Kingdom went above and beyond and made me a fresh order, even throwing in a free drink! I am so appreciative, food was great too, don't walk, RUN to Satay Kingdom because they the best

   Their Vege Roti Chennai is a simple delight. You get a full roti (Jessie’s Roti if I had to guess) a bowl of curry soup with vege and a side dish of satay sauce. Delicious and simple. Wonderful to find a meal in the city for $9!

   Food was quite average. The roti canai was a disappointment. Roti not hot and so thick not made then and there. Its mostly cooked from the freezer. The gravy was quite watery and lacked taste. The satay chicken was ok. Nothing spectacular. General tso chicken was good. All in all would not recommend or go there again.

   Having been in Wltgn for three days and still needing to eat Malaysian as I usually do when here in this city that boasts a high ratio of these eateries, we ventured out. It was Sunday lunchtime so not all were open rendering us to make an eventual unfortunate choice down some inner city Melbourne type lane. Satay Kingdom Cafe. All four of their concoctions failed miserably. The two fresh juices were watered down (or tasted as much). Not enough to dilute the colour, but enough to remove the fresh full fruit flavour. The Rendang was not cooked down enough, an obvious sign being the light colour and shredded coconut still being intact. Not only that, they held back on the spice and other ingredients rendering (sic) their effort lacking the distinctive sweet aromatic flavours of star anise, cardamon, cinnamon and galangal. So insipid was it you could see water collecting at the base of the food. It should of been a thick type dark juice. And the Laksa even though looking acceptable, it too suffered the same budget constraints of the above described efforts. They went tight on the ingredients that are needed to make a Laksa taste like a Laksa. Instead, it tasted like something prepared at the hospital -you know, where even mashed potatoes taste like water. Malaysian Roti Canai consists of multiple thin layers of flaky light flat bread. This joint's version had no traped air whilst cooking creating pockets between the layers being the Roti trademark of the bread breaking into shards when pulled apart. This is the first Malaysian joint I've come across in Wltgn that has been useless. Very bad luck it was that we happened across it. Malaysian is my favourite, add my anticipation to finally sit down at one, only resulted in elevating my disappointment level to one of extreme annoyance. So much so that I'm now gonna tell them (I write this while sitting in the sun at the table).... (5 mins later).... Ha! The chef's from China! That partly explains the botched results.
