P J Malaysian Cuisine
I know that when one thinks of jazz great Louis Armstrong the next thing that follows isn't usually traditional Malaysian cuisine, but at the Glen Waverly based 'PJ Malaysian Cuisine' restaurant the two are inextricably linked.
Armstrong and other greats faces adorns the walls while jazz music floats around the room amongst wafts of exotic Malaysian spices. Just looking at the tone the decor sets, it's not hard to understand why the restaurant has won a golden plate award six years in a row.
And after all that, the food's amazingly good too (order the butter prawns and you'll never stop thanking me).

dined at this restaurant tonight. first of all the service was adequate but not friendly.
Food- the entrees were chicken satay skewers and were over cooked and quite small in size.
Spring rolls were tasteless and curry puffs needed more spice.
Main Courses - were ordinary but not generous enough and were unnecessarily garnished with shredded lettuce (everything had shredded lettuce on it !!!).
Extremely over priced for a restaurant serving this kind of food.
Would not recommend this restaurant.

A Malaysian restaurant with a "Jazz" theme/feel. Live music performances on most nights -one night we were there a customer sitting on the next table spontaneously burst into song, unaccompanied and out of the blue!And she was bloody good too!
Food is traditionally Malaysian wih a quirky modern touch. Eg: fragrant chicken was laden with coriander, garlic, ginger and peanuts and served on green salad leaves on a lovely white platter.
Curries with roti were hot and amazingly flavoursome and kept warm in heir pots with lids. Rice is also kept warm whilst at the table in its' own thermos type container.
