Jessie Tan, better known as Melbourne's own Klang Queen, brings the heart of Malaysia to your plate. Having moved from Klang to Australia back in the 70s, she's the local go-to for an authentic Malaysian fix. Her kitchen is where the magic happens, churning out some of the most soul-satisfying dishes you can find. Picture biting into her crispy pork belly, where each crunch is a symphony of flavours, or getting lost in the sweet, creamy swirls of her homemade cendol – it's like a mini vacation to the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

Her Kuey cakes are a riot of colours and flavours, perfect with your afternoon brew. And if you’ve never had her chiffon cakes, you’re missing out – they’re airy, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. She’s got a knack for bringing out the best in Malaysian staples, whether it’s a spicy Laksa bowl, a rich Beef Rendang, or the ever-iconic Nasi Lemak. When she’s not cooking, Jessie’s in her garden, tending to the herbs that often find their way into her dishes. For foodies in Melbourne hunting for a true Malaysian experience, Klang Queen is the name you need to know. 🥟
