Omah's
Omah’s is a Malaysian restaurant near the Glenferrie and
Burwood Road intersection in Hawthorn. They specialise in mud crab and on
Monday they have mud crab night where you can enjoy a three course crab feast
for $45.00. They also have a junior menu of five dishes ($8.90) so you can
bring the kids along as well. The restaurant is stylish and modern with decorative
screens creating individual dining spaces and stylized bird cage lighting.
WHAT’S ON THE MENU?
WHAT WE ATE...
We ordered two entrees to share. The ‘Crab Omelette served with garlic chilli sauce ($7.50)’ was delicate in flavour and the sauce packed a punch.
The ‘Roti served with peanut sauce ($7.00)’ was flaky and
ideal for mopping up the spicy peanut sauce.
I decided to have the ‘Fried Kueh Teow ($11.90)’. The flat
rice noodles fried in dark soy with prawns, egg, fish cake, bean shoots and a
touch of spice were superb. I could taste the essence of the wok and the
ingredients were just the right ratio.

My dining companion chose the ‘Five-spice calamari
($21.90)’ which tasted lovely but had the odd slightly chewy piece of calamari.

Omah’s has a good selection of drinks to choose from. I
was tempted by the Hix Pilsner ($9.90) but in the end we shared a jug of Tiger
beer ($18.00).

The service was very quick but as we dined on a Wednesday
night, the place was quite uninhabited when we arrived.
