Hing Kee Restaurant Tsim Sha Tsui

HK style seafood. Fried crabs & thin soup noodles. We had sea snails. And long shell fish with glass noodles. Razor clams. Delicious sweet vegetable drink. Very busy restaurant with energetic boss.  Lots of celebrities who dined at the restaurant have signed on the wall.

Thy Thy Richmond Victoria

We had the vietnamese pancake, sugar cane prawns, prawn rolls, fried chicken, fried flounder and a ton of salad soaked with fish sauce. What a meal. Fried stuff in the tradition of the 60s and 70s when we could grease our gastric bag. Absolutely delicious.

Nobu Melbourne

My son & I visiting Melbourne for his work assessment in summer internship program. We had the cerviche, salmon skin salad and jalepeno yellow tail. It was his first time and he really enjoyed it. I found the tataki with garlic flakes strongly flavored. Very noisy restaurant but part of the experience. Much larger than the Nobu in Perth. We ate at the sushi bar as we didn't want to wait. The black cod was sublime. The salmon skin salad was fiery with the greeeen salad dressing.

Formosa Vegetarian Eating House Kardinya West Aust

Vegetarian with tofu & tempeh dishes in Aisan flavours. Worth a visit for the non carnivore.

 The specials outside the store.

Chicken & veges. Claims that they are linked to Utopia the other vegetarian eatery whose founders are from Taiwan (modern name for Formosa Island)


The BBQ plate. The mock meat is a sandwich of tempeh and some kinda of gelatin? Goes well with the bowl of plain steamed rice in the background.

Satay lamb. Chunks of fried tofu coated with spicy peanut sauce. This really fills you up. My colleagues paid. So I didn't get to find out the price of the vegetarian food. 

Definitely worth trying if you are a vegetarian.

Tak po Singapore

I had late night dim sum. Big chicken bun, yam cakes and pork congee. Washed down with cold sweet barley water. $12.60
Relatively good prices. $1.5 for the bun. Congee about $5. The drinks $1.6 and yam was $1.5
Too bad they closed the clay pot rice section. Service was a bit patchy as the kind ladies forgot some orders and may have lost some orders. Nice Chinatown bustle and atmosphere.
