Yay! We got to try Hawker Chan’s famous chicken! It was pretty damn good. Good thing we tried the pork last night because we walked in and saw everything sold out except the chicken. And congee but really, who cares about congee anyway? OK, maybe I will try the congee next time I’m in aContinue reading “Melbourne – Michelin Chicken”

Melbourne – Broken Rice
Another late lunch and we stumbled across something like five Vietnamese places on Swanston Street. Decided to take a gamble on the one mostly full at 3ish in the afternoon, figured it was a good sign. Also the sign explaining broken rice made us want to try so in we went. We got Broken RiceContinue reading “Melbourne – Broken Rice”
Melbourne – Coffee with extras
Finally succumbed to the lure of Pancake Parlour. Our final day of exploration and we decided to hit up some serious carb loading before hitting up the shops. Had to get coffee anyway and getting orders of The “IT” and Blueberry Pancake with Bacon and Eggs seemed like such a good idea. Blueberry Pancake withContinue reading “Melbourne – Coffee with extras”
Melbourne – Michelin rated oops
Hawker Chan, the Michelin rated food stall has a restaurant in Melbourne. We went in hungry from the day and both of us ordered combination with rice. The oops? They won the Michelin for their soya sauce chicken… No matter, just means we go get the chicken tomorrow for lunch. Dinner was still excellent though,Continue reading “Melbourne – Michelin rated oops”
Melbourne – True Secrets
It’s a tour, self paced with an app to guide you through the city. It’s quite good, professional actors and actresses provide a scene relating to each location along with background information and bonus material. I mapped the tour on Google and it’s about 2.6km long. It took me about 2 hours including the timeContinue reading “Melbourne – True Secrets”

Melbourne – Escher X nendo
I knew the exhibit was on but wasn’t sure if the opportunity to go would present itself. Turns out a rainy Saturday happened so off we went, intending to brunch at the NGV before moving into the exhibition. Stupidly long queue for the tickets, I asked one of the NGV staff if booking online wouldContinue reading “Melbourne – Escher X nendo”
Melbourne – Tastes like Pepsi
Coca-Cola Plus. Found it at a local Chinese market and bought it to try. Turns out it’s healthy coke, sugar free with dietary fibre. Tried it once, don’t need to do it again. https://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/coca-cola-fortified-with-dietary-fiber-to-launch-in-japan
Melbourne – Very Late Dinner
After the Old Melbourne Gaol tour, it was time for a very late dinner. Stumbled on a place called China Chilli. Strange thing, signage outside said Caribbean Grilled Fish but everything inside said China Chilli. Must have moved. Turns out it’s a Sichuan style restaurant. Menu is a little limited, we split a Shallots Pancake.Continue reading “Melbourne – Very Late Dinner”
Melbourne – Go Directly To Gaol
Decided to indulge myself and went on the Hangman’s Night Tour at the Old Melbourne Gaol. 37 of us ended up on the tour, at one point crammed into a single cell to simulate the overcrowded conditions. Good thing we didn’t have to simulate sharing a bucket for a toilet. Great stories told really well,Continue reading “Melbourne – Go Directly To Gaol”
