Forest Hill - I haven't been there for probably over 10 years. After viewing a property for sale nearby in Box Hill, it was time for lunch. Something fast - maybe noodles? I was surprised that a place called India Delights would serve excellent Malaysian noodles, but that's exactly what I found.
- Mixed plate with biryani rice $11 - extraordinary value with selections from the serving basin. I chose a mildly sweet and tender beef rendang, spicy mutton curry, eggplant masala and pumpkin curry;
- Mamak mee goreng $9.5 - a pretty good dish and satisfying;
- Combination hor fun $11 - a heap of runny egg sauce topping flat rice noodles, prawns, squid and more. Really really good version served (when requested) with green chilli in soy vinegar;
- Indian rojak $10 - really thick and tasty peanut sauce smothering fried dough (which would have been better crispier), beancurd, bean sprouts, potato, cucumber and boiled egg.
From the menu and dishes I assume the chefs are Indian ethnicity from Malaysia. I'll have to try the roti and murtabak next time as well as the fried chicken and pastries.
