Hungry Lah is a Malaysian restaurant rooted in a rich culinary history that began in 1987 with the establishment of a small stall, Well Cook Gourmet, in Kuala Lumpur. Founded by Mr. Chin and his wife, Teoh Gim See, both originally from Penang, their dedication to authentic Malaysian flavors has been a driving force behind their gastronomic journey. In 2005, they relocated to Subang Jaya, where they continued to delight patrons with an array of traditional dishes.
Among Hungry Lah’s standout offerings are the renowned Char Kway Teow and Fried Laksa. The Fried Laksa stands out as a unique creation featuring thick laksa noodles combined with a fragrant spice paste made from ginger, onion, tamarind, lemongrass, and chili. Garnished with onion, pineapple, and mint, this dish is distinct to Hungry Lah and hard to find elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Char Kway Teow is another favorite among diners; it consists of flat wide rice noodles stir-fried in soy sauce alongside beansprouts, chives, garlic, and egg.
With years of commitment to providing authentic Malaysian cuisine that has garnered them accolades—including being named finalists for Best Char Kway Teow at the Time Out Kuala Lumpur Food Awards in 2015—Hungry Lah is excited to bring its flavorful offerings to Melbourne's Coburg North area.
