I mentioned in a previous post that I don’t post about Chinese restaurants even though that makes up half of my dining experiences and I’ve finally realised why. Every time we go to Chinese restaurants, it’s with my parents. My dad is quite against me taking photos of food. He thinks it’s rude to the […]…
I’ve noticed that I have a subconscious aversion to writing about Chinese restaurants and Chinese food, even though it’s the type of cuisine I eat the most (being Chinese and all). I have many photos from Chinese restaurants in my backlog but every time I look at them, I somehow get discouraged and don’t feel […]…
I’m usually very kind to restaurants I visit, the word ‘dislike’ isn’t something I’d say easily. However, my visit to Heirloom on Bourke St a few weeks ago resulted in an experience that couldn’t be described any other way. Sad, but true. After receiving recommendations from friends, I was sceptical but keen to try this […]…
Mei Jing Chinese Restaurant is situated off the corner of Boronia Rd and Mountain Hwy in Wantirna. It was formerly known as ‘Superstars’ Chinese Restaurant which has now changed management and is still known as Superstars on most websites including Urbanspoon – it’s obviously time for me to update its details ;). If it wasn’t […]…
Mabrown is a Malaysian/Chinese/Thai restaurant near the corner of Belmore Rd and Balwyn Rd in Balwyn. My friend Winwin suggested to dine at this restaurant for our ‘double date’ and although it was a fantastic get together and the quail was irresistible, the service was just terrible. I don’t usually expect anything from Chinese restaurants […]…
Yuye and I went to Hu Tong for lunch the other day after dropping off our passports at the Chinese Consulate for visa applications. It was almost 2:30pm when we called to make the booking and we were told no bookings after 2pm and 3pm is when the kitchen closed. After hearing that, I drove […]…
Everything I did during my Sydney trip seemed to be in pairs. Now that I think about it, I went to Makoto twice, Masuya twice and even, Din Tai Fung…twice. That just shows how good these restaurants really are right? After dining at Din Tai Fung in Sydney, I really thought the dumplings I had […]…
Simon Lay, the ‘duck nazi’ from Old Kingdom has returned to the restaurant arena with a bang. His newly opened restaurant, Simon’s Peiking Duck, is situated on a small shopping strip in suburban Box Hill South and has been welcoming locals and Melbourne foodies for over a month now. I’m so glad I live close […]…
Dining at China Red requires plenty of patience, as we found out at our first visit to the newest addition to the Hu Tong empire. This is probably the major take away I gained from this arduous but delicious meal. It is situated inside a busy Chinatown arcade where the old Village Cinemas used to […]…
It’s been years since I last went to the Melbourne Show, in fact, I believe I’ve only ever been twice. Since I just got my 550D about two weeks ago, I decided to try it out at a slightly more crowded place to hone my photo-taking skills. Before embarking on my first photo adventure with […]…
