Things to do in Hawthorn
1. Kekou
A daring duo, perfectly paired. Perpetually Rotating Craft Beers and Eastern Feast shared among the table. Located in Richmond at the heart of our iconic Bridge Rd, a street steeped in history dating back to the 1837. Kekou (to taste good) is the regions

We loved our recent visit to Kekou! We each went for the $32 lunch special which was really filling and worth every cent. the Lobster Betel Leaf was a delicious little bite and the chicken yellow curry was amazing too. You could tell the egg noodles were homemade...yum!Thank you for such a positive review @travelmarnieThe $32 lunch special is definitely worth the while.. A starter...A main... and 1 pot (it makes things tricky when we have 18 craft beer taps to choose from) Everything prepared from our kitchen is made from scratch (even down to the curry pastes) so you know the food will always be top quality!We welcome you back for dinner as our menu has more options and variety.Thanks again @travelmarnie. We hope to see you soon.

This is truly my favourite restaurant and have been coming here for 30 years plus. Originally located further down Burwood Road itâs been settled here on the corner of Henry Street for a long time now. My favourite is the mee goreng or curry laksa with roti and sauce. The specials are always good. Busy during lunch hour with Swinburne Uni not far away. Check the website for opening hours. Good takeaway as well. The best part is that Iâve known the staff for so long and they always greet me like an old friend. Theyâve watched me from pregnancy to my eldest being 21!Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. High chairs available. Parking isnât too bad. Note it is cash only. Looking forward to many more lunches and dinners here which I now share with friends.

Since 2001, Okra has blossomed from a local Camberwell gem to one of the greater Melbourne areaâs premier dining destinations. Okra blends Thai, Malaysian, and Indonesian dishes into an irresistible Southeast Asian fusion menu with something for everyone.

My wife and I had dinner here recently with a group of friends. We ordered beef rendang, a whole fish (snapper), fried okra, chilli king prawns and a curry chicken dish. The food was mostly good. Service was okay. Prices are a bit steep. We had BYO red wine.

Seven of us, of five different ethnicities but all with long connections with Malaysia, sampled dinner on a recent evening. The menu is very extensive, covering the whole gamut of Malaysian and neighbouring countries' cuisines. The decor of the establishment is attractive and service polite and responsive.The food, whilst reasonably authentic, did not live up to the expectations of this highly critical group. The Lobak had lots of meat filling but was universally agreed to be too salty. The Sambal Egg Plant and the Deep Fried Barramundi with Lychees were judged to be very good. The Sambal Squid dish had about eight pieces of Squid and was absolutely drowning in Onions and the Special Duck with Reduced Curry Sauce was distinctly lacking in sauce.The deserts tested: one of the party was adventurous enough to test the "Affogato", whilst the others tested the Purple Rice with Gula Malaka, were judged to be OK.A little more attention to quality control could have produced a better experience.
