Great service & prices. Very tasty food, and IMO also the best coffee on the island. They usually have some sweet treats available too. Handy opening times (being open on Monday nights is good because not much else is).

Buy from the food van & eat at the beach across the road for great breezes! At lunchtime, a limited selection of delicious options - cheaper $6-$8 snacks included mie goreng parcels, or roti (comes with small curry & sambal). Western options (such as chicken wraps) cost $16. Homemade hot or iced drinks (around $8), and homemade desserts suitable to take away ($8 tray).

Wish it had been open more during our visit. Had beef burgers, chips, lamingtons & soft drinks. Yum, & at decent (for CI) prices.

Enjoy the delightful and authentic flavours of Christmas Island Malay cooking —from satisfying mains and delicious snacks to exquisite desserts and exceptional coffee that beckons you to return. The pizza pieces are my favourite, and I’ll be back for more.

Highly recommend the Roti and Curry Puff. The sauce that comes with the Roti is incredibly delicious—even someone like me, who usually can’t handle spicy food, really enjoyed it.

Excellent Malay food! They also have Western inspired dishes, so something for any taste. Menu rotates each day/evening. Loved the spicy chicken satay, Nasi lemak, beef rendang and piping hot crispy roti with curry and sambal. Finish with an ice lemon tea for completeness. Coffee also really good! Tabel and chairs are available across the road from the food truck, here you can enjoy your meal and the view of the ocean at the same time, perfect!
