The Botanic Bar has replaced what was once a seating and pool table area with a new Thai restaurant, Golden Boy. The venue is not particularly large with a long tiled bench running across the centre of the room. Surrounding the bench is a booth, a series of small tables, and a bar towards the…

Golden Dragon Palace Seafood Restaurant
It’s been quite some time since I last visited Golden Dragon and in terms of decor, nothing seems to have really changed. The place is traditional and elegant with the Chinese lanterns, the timber dividers and the wallpaper that features Chinese characters. The white table cloths and leather seating give this place a more luxurious…
Park Lok
Park Lok is a Chinese restaurant located on the more quieter Grote Street. Specialising in Cantonese and Teochew cuisine, this restaurant is rather spacious and can accommodate over 100 people easily. The decor is a mismatch of elegance and poorly concealed clutter. The large chandeliers, the high ceilings and the white table cloths give this…

Coconut House – Melbourne
Prior to flying into Melbourne, we already had a list of the places that we wanted to eat. Unfortunately, the restaurants that we wanted to eat at, had a no booking policy and we found ourselves unable to get a table at the destination of our choice. We were staying at a hotel on Elizabeth…
Banh Mi – Central Market
The Banh Mi store in the Central Markets is a lot flashier than other stores that sell the same product. Personally, I can’t resist a Vietnamese roll, even though the prices here are slightly higher. On this particular occasion, I ordered one of their Roast Pork Banh Mi. For $7.50, you would expect this roll…
Michiru
I know it’s cheaper to buy sushi rolls individually, but I’m kind of getting used to having my sushi delivered by train. Being inside an arcade, the place is a lot smaller than some of their competitors. Seating is limited, however, that doesn’t detract from the popularity of this place. The thing I like about…
