Fortunes Asian Cuisine reviews
27Wonderful wonton noodle soup. Full of flavour and without the MSG. Char Sui on rice is the best within 3 km of Malvern. I can't recommend it enough.
Fortunes Asian Cuisine - Malvern, Vic
Chefs laksa w/ stuffed egg plant, tofu, and bean curd.
Fortunes Asian Cuisine is a Malaysian x Chinese restaurant on Glenferrie Road, a shop that’s got a steady flow of Uber eats deliveries coming and going. Because I like my meals hot and I don’t pander to these corporations 30% surcharge for a meal I decided to eat in. It’s the only way - especially for soup. Who wants a joke warm soup any way.
A menu with a huge title that said Chef’s Special was thrust in front of me - I was delighted to see a range of stuffed items on offer, something I hadn’t seen on this town before and something that M Yong Tofu in Flemington does extremely well. I ordered the laksa with stuffed things and it came out to my table quickly. Now many things lack colour including my skin pigmentation after a night of heavy drinking but I was quite shocked at the sheer lack of colour in this dish - it was a pasty off white colour (just like me). As soon as I saw the colour of this dish I immediately ordered some samba and dumped it into the laksa as I was almost certain this broth would need more flavour. That was my first mistake - the laksa while not completely flagrant did already have quite the spicy kick to it. Something I wasn’t expecting from a hole in the wall chinese x Malaysian restaurant in Malvern. The laksa contained two types of noodles - a must but didn’t contain much else other than the stuffed tofu. Somewhat of a let down considering competitors add eggplant, broccoli, beans to jazz up their soups. While this wasn’t the most exciting soup a basic elements were there and the stuffed items were something different. However these lacked lots of flavour that could have helped the very basic dish.

No MSG for a Chinese restaurant. My Chinese Takeaway of choice around Malvern/Armadale. Slightly pricey.
The Char Keow Tao was woeful this evening, dry with mashed up noodles and two dry prawns instead of the usual three fresh ones, probably microwaved for pick up. This is sad, because here is another local eatery that we will have to abandon after visiting for so long. What's worse is that they knew who it was for, unforgivable guys, you won't be seeing us again.
The interior is slightly too dark.
Lunch is good. Not the cheapest, but normal price in Malvern. Service is not bad. But I would to see bigger potion of lunch speacial
Terrible service. Delivery order took two hours (no exaggeration) and was incorrect when it finally arrived. Food is Ok, but certainly not worth that wait!
I have been eating here for 8 or 9 years. I have the same thing everytime satay beef, its amazing. The owners are lovely, they know my name, know my order. Never had a problem, love it.
