Malayan Orchid
A View Street institution since 1993, blending Malaysian and Chinese dishes. Its banquet menus suit large group meals.
Opened in 1993 in the upper part of View Street in the arts district, it is a Bendigo institution serving Malaysian-Chinese fusion food. Since the new owners took over in recent years, modern techniques have been added. Popular starters include drunken chicken, honey prawns, Thai green curry, lettuce wraps and spicy duck legs, and there is also Sichuan-style eggplant. Groups of three or more can order a banquet menu, and there is a fixed menu for two. Australian Traveller recommends it as a top choice for group dinners. Private bookings are frequent around Christmas, and weekend bookings are advised. It is about a 10-minute walk from the city centre.
