Soi 38 Thai Street Joint for Sign 2

 

Shabby looking sign - the food joint website Soi 38 Melbourne

Beef Boat Soup - a classic

Pork Crispy 

This street joint actually hides next to a parking spot next to the boom gate under a large multi-Storey building. It has a cult like following mainly from city workers coming here for a lunch break.

Phillipe French Restaurant set lunch menu for Treasure Tuesday

 

This restaurant is run by a well-known French chef who moved to Australia in 1993. I was stood up by my date on that day. At least, the food was great!

The escargots are just a delight (1st pic). The desert is so creamy and soft to taste.

Bamboo Shoots with Basil

Bamboo shoots used to be part of my favorite diet. Pity Hard to find bamboo shoots that dont taste bitter outside Asia...

Santoukou Ramen

Yummy noodle. In Taipei

Pork in Tokay

Pork chop cooked in Tokay fortified wine in Rutherglen

Restaurant Amuse Entre

The entry at Restaurant Amuse - 2 hat restaurant. Really beautiful dish.

Red Spice Restaurant in QV Melbourne

A very nice meal in QV Melbourne. The twice cooked pork was simply gorgeous.

Big Head Chicken

Thanks to my brother, Alan. I have never tasted Xin Jian Food - north west of China. The restaurant is only 2 km from where my mum lives. 

The sauce is spicy with a touch of meaty creamy taste. The noodle are chewy. It is what I called comfort food.

Sichuan Sour Pickled Cabbage Fish

Nice poetry on the porcelain. Warm and chilli soup. It is a dish that always enlightens me every Friday evening.

Twice cooked pork

The nice twice cooked pork Joel had.

Morwell pub food

The great lamb shanks from Italian Australian Club in Morwell.

Nice big chunks of lamb.

Mussels

Mussels with beer - best combo

Lulo Spanish Bar and Cafe Beef

I had this plate with Joel last evening. Really tender braised beef ribs. Strong flavour in deed.

On Glenferrie road.

Fusion cuisine

Fusion of French and Italian. In fact, the difference between the two cuisine was really small. French focused on flavouring derived from sauces while Italian relied on flavour coming from actual ingredients.

Lebanese food, Doncaster, Melbourne

This was a dish that really got my attention in this lebanese restaurant, Dunyazad. Really sour and spicy at the same time.

Sausage at Camberwell Market, Melbourne, Australia

Yeah, the sausage looks rather scary to eat. What I like from this view is the soft creamy bokeh from 150mm f2 ZD 

It seems this type of gourmet sausage is rather popular with a long queue waiting to buy this...

Brunch before work

A quick snack never hurts :)

Squid in Bonito sauce

In one of the cafe located in QV, I had a Entree dish to taste.

It was a taste in heaven where the sauce was the concentrated dried skip-jack tuna fish (Katsuwonus pelamis, sometimes referred to as bonito ). It was a good addition to a small glass of sake in deed.

QV is a significant location in Melbourne CBD. It is a redevelopment of historic Queen Victoria Women's hospital site. Now it is a popular commercial central to various food courts and fashion clothing stores.

This desert was a great delight before I went to bed!

So wonderfully done
