Golden King

I was expecting a small local Chinese restaurant and was really surprised of its size, being twice the size a regular local Chinese restaurant would be. Friday nights are quite full with nearly no available tables left, forcing customers to wait.

The food itself wasn’t what I was expecting which was traditional Chinese food. Although there were various dishes, very few stood out. Of those that did, all had an ‘aussie styled’ taste to them when compared to the same dish prepared by a different restaurant.

When we ordered, we were surprised that it costed less than it was advertised. The amount of food advertised for 4-6 people filled the 5 of us up.

In terms of service, they mixed up one of our orders but otherwise very good. Overall the food was alright, though not the best place to go for Chinese food. For myself nothing special but its good value here

Brunetti's cafe in Melbourne

During January, me and a couple of friends went to Melbourne for a short trip! We went to a few of the cafes/restaurants there and one of them was brunetti's! Unfortunately there isn't one in Sydney which made me sad because the sweets and delicacies that they were offering there were all soo APPETISING!!

We went there during the morning and had a selection of sweets and coffee with it too! The place is pretty popular, with all the seats taken pretty quickly!

Some of the more popular treats included: jam tarts, croissants, strawberry tarts, brownies, eclairs, scones and a range of cakes!







I personally ordered a few of the macarons (it was my first time trying them!!!) and a strawberry tart (because i have a personal obsession with them)



To be honest i think the price range for this cafe was quite affordable! Not as expensive as Koko Black! I'd definately come again to Brunetti's if i ever go back to Melbourne for another trip!

Bavarian Beer Cafe #2

I just read up on one of Lily's post and realised that the restaurant i recently went to to celebrate a friends 20th birthday was infact the Bavarian Beer Cafe that she posted about! how silly of me not to have noticed earlier haha.

It was so much more crowded than i expected! The food was GORGEOUS though! absolutely fantastic, no wonder the whole place had so many people. Alot of birthdays were held that night too, we could tell from the amount of shots of alcohol that was being announced. (i wasnt sure how that worked but every 30min the waiters/waitresses ring a massive bell carrying a shot of alcohol on a really long holder and the birthday boy/girl has to drink it haha).

Me and the people i was with ordered a range of things that night! From chips to roasted pork to the meat tasting platter to a VERY rich chocolate dessert that another friend ordered!

Here are some photos from the night!

Pho76

Pho 76 is a local restaurant in the Western suburbs that serves Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines. Its location is convenient for locals who do not wish to travel a great distance to find great Vietnamese/Chinese foods.

Their menu offers a large variety, that ranges from soups to numerous dishes with rice. With it's great food and competitive prices, it makes this restaurant too popular and often people find themselves waiting for a table outside the restaurant. However, the restaurant does provide bookings for those in large groups.

Like Yumcha and most Asian restaurants the meals are accompanied with tea. The dish I had was Curry chicken with bread on the side, which is seen below. Considering it was a cold day this dish was a fulfilling meal. It contained pieces of chicken and soft potatoes that were immersed within the warm curry soup, which is well suited with the bread.

Overall, the atmosphere in Pho 76 was very lively with many customers satisfied with their meal.
