This restaurant is pretty hidden amongst all the other options in Double Bay. The front has a few seatings for people who are there for an «in and out» type of meal then you walk towards the back and there’s a larger dining seating area. Chinta Kechil is very small and some of the tables near the back are located right behind the bathrooms which makes it feel a little unsanitary since there is literally people walking in and out of the bathroom while you’re eating.
The food here was actually very good! We ordered the roti & curry laksa. The roti was hot and fluffy, and the laska dish was super filling. I ordered the seafood one which contained a generous amount of prawns, calamari and fish cake. The soup is very coconutty (if that’s a word) and rich with a ton of mixed noodles in it. It was super flavourful which makes me want to go back and order it again! It’s a pretty large portion — we ordered 2 laksa dishes & 1 roti dish to share betweeen 4 hungry people and it was just enough to get everyone full. It’s my second favourite malaysian place next to Mamak ;)
Note* The curry laksa came in vegetable form ($ 12.80), chicken ($ 13.80) and seafood ($ 15.80)

This is the new replacement restaurant for the former Chinta Ria Restaurant that was the Temple of Love located at Darling Harbour.
The new restaurant is a lot smaller inside but the restaurant has been decorated to resemble a typical restaurant you’d find in Malaysia. Thatched roof, lots of colour and now a smaller menu than what was offered before. The good thing is the price has dropped at least $ 5 from what was previously charged.
The wait staff — Adrian, Alan and Jeff looked after us and welcomed us back to their new home in Double Bay.
I was disappointed that the Red Temple Chicken dish was absent from the new menu.
We ate our favourite dishes — Curry Chicken, Beef Rendang, Char Kway Teow and Mee Goreng. All dishes were spot on but I think the quantity is less. Maybe that’s why the cost is less?
Two of my favourite desserts are is still on the menu. Bring back the Pisang Goreng (Deep Fried Banana with Coconut Ice-​cream).
You can’t go by the traditional Malaysian Sago Pudding of Tapioca pearls served with coconut milk and drizzled with Gula Melaka (Brown Palm Sugar).
We also enjoyed the traditional Malaysian Pandan crêpe with rolls of coconut palm sugar inside. Delicious!
Chinta Ketchil is always a most pleasant dining experience that gives you some of the most authentic tastes of Malaysian cooking in Sydney. I’ll definitely be continuing to be a regular diner at this establishment.

Excellent Malaysian /​Indonesian flavors waft throughout this small restaurant on the main road in Double Bay.
Try the laksa or the nasi goreng as we did and you will not be dissapointed.
Lunch specials at around $ 10 is very good for this area.

This teeny tiny restaurant is really quaint, like a sweet Malaysian market stall. The staff are friendly and very helpful, though you order at the counter and help yourself to cutlery, water etc.
It’s easy to choose what to order as there are photos of all the dishes. The food is served fresh, hot, and fast, but it’s not the best Malaysian going round. The beef rendang was delicious but the roti was disappointing; neither flaky or fluffy. The chicken bao and nasi goreng lacked flavour and the water spinach was just that, watery. I can however, highly recommend the curry puffs!
Go here for a quick takeaway or if you’re eating on the go, but probably best to avoid eating in unless you are super skinny and prepared to have a few elbows fly your way. If you are game for a bit of body combat, the good news is that it’s BYO.
