Noodle Soup in Lalor?
2008-01-14 11:26:00 I was having trouble thinking of reasons you’d go to Lalor. If you have a quick glance around the shopping center, you may be led to believe that it has only one thing to offer - Colourful plastic clogs. There are a number of discount shops selling these hideous things, they make me think of ... More About: Soup

Pho in the hood
2007-09-23 07:36:00 I was delight to recently discover a sign sticky taped to the window of a local Vietnamese restaurant. It proudly introduced the arrival of a new dish ? my favourite dish. This was great news. I didn’t have high hopes, but went down to try it out. You know what? It wasn’t bad at all. ... More About: Hood

Captain Noodle
2007-08-19 07:29:00 Recently I stopped in at Thu The with a friend. A scrap of paper sticky-taped to the wall advertised Hanoi Style Pho. Had to have it, and it was great, but to tell you the truth I couldn’t tell you the difference between this and regular pho. I’ll have to have them side by side one ... More About: Captain

A noodle moon and back to Footscray again
2007-07-31 12:45:00 The team was back in Foot scray today. Toby and I are now trying to convince our spouses to move there. I bought some fish in the Little Saigon Market and thought about how good it would be to do my shopping there on a permanent basis. Lunch was at a new noodle shop for us. ... More About: Moon , Back
nautical noodle digital rework no.1 and a rainy morning in Footscray
2007-07-22 09:15:00 I’m doing some digital versions of these drawings in the lead up to a set of oil paintings. As part of the integral research for such a project, E and I joined Toby and Asha on a trip to Foot scray. A couple of weeks ago the group had lunch at a small cafe in Little Saigon shopping center. The noodle soup was basic but fine. We speculated that at just $20 for the four of us, lunch couldn’t really get any cheaper. So this week we decided to go a bit posh and picked out a noodle shop on the main street. All shinny glass, neon and upholstery. We were worried that this joint might blow the budget but it was pissing down rain when we arrived, and the corner bench seat was a welcome retreat. As is the habit of late, we order two noodle soups and BBQ chicken on broken rice. The pho was of a fine standard, and there was plenty of patrons here. A brilliant lunch on a cold day. The bill came in at staggering $23. At that price we’re going up market all the time. The voyage c... More About: Nautical , Morning , Digital , Ework
The search continues
2007-05-31 04:35:00 I though I may have been dreaming about St Albans . So I enlisted some noodle hunters to trek out there, and confirm it actually exists. Toby, Asha, E and I, loaded up the car and headed off. Much to my delight, it wasn’t a dream. We had a bowl of soup and some spring rolls at ... More About: Search , Conti

Bun Mam Fish good
2007-05-19 08:45:00 Co Do is my new favorite place on Victoria Street. After missing my opportunity to have Bun Mam in St Albans the other day, I was determined to discover it when I was down on Victoria street recently. I found it in Co Do’s menu and stepped inside. The waiter made the point twice, that ... More About: Fish , Good
The End of the Line
2007-05-18 02:42:00 I got totally lost on the way out there, but on the trip home I realised that it’s not all that far away.

The Far East
2007-05-08 06:53:00 Springvale Road is the worst Road to drive, anywhere in the world. I think you will agree. No matter what time of day your driving, the experience is always the same, pure hell! Today was no different. At least we had a reward at the end of the line. Behind the low lying shops on Springvale ... More About: East
What! No noodles!
2007-05-05 13:03:00 This place is like home. The specialty is dumplings, either Pork or beef, (they have started to do vego ones due to lobby group pressure, can’t be a good thing). My favorite is the dumplings in soup with chili oil. These little buggers are fat and plump with a wonderful hand rolled doughy encasement. The ... More About: Noodles , No No
Ramen-oodle
2007-05-04 14:30:00 Ramen takes the noodle soup to extremes. There are some people out there that are crazy about this stuff. I’d agree that it’s something you could get fanatical about. I’ve decided to include a bit of Ramen in noodleoodle. I visited Ajisen Ramen. This place looked a little swanky but also sported a fair degree ... More About: Japanese , Amen
BBQ Sydney - Other places we ate
2007-04-30 03:59:00 We didn’t go to Emperor’s Garden for noodles, we got straight into the BBQ duck. It’s the real stuff. Fresh, succulent, flavoursome, melt off the bone. Lovely combined with a cool bottle of Chardonnay, and good value. We also went to their bakery outlet to get some of those Emporer’s puffs that mellie recommended. They ...

Downtown Chinatown - Sydney food halls - Part 3
2007-04-28 15:05:00 Only a couple hundred meters from the previous eating halls is Dixon House Food Court. Choose one of the three entrances and descend into a sensory stimulation overload. (depending on time of day I suppose). It was late afternoon and the place was packed, the noise a cacophony. I counted over twenty vendors in this dim ...

Downtown Chinatown - Sydney food halls - Part 2
2007-04-26 04:51:00 Midmorning breakfast at the Sussex Centre food hall. The lunch rush hadn’t kicked in, but vendors were still busily handing out a steady flow of product. Due to the early hour, E and I decided to try the pho stall, Siagon Pho. We?ve sniffed out four Pho joints around Chinatown and three of them have ... More About: Food , Sydney , Downtown , Down
Downtown Chinatown - Sydney food halls - Part 1
2007-04-24 06:59:00 I remember a food hall I used to go. It fed me when I was a student. Ongs, was on Little Burke, a dungeon really. Stairs descended into a low ceilinged maze, housing about a dozen or so Asian food vendors. It was good and cheap. It had a bar, which was a big draw ...

cattle-meat-noodles
2007-04-17 06:32:00 According to Wikipidea, beef noodle soup or cattle-meat-noodles, is common through out East Asia and Southeast Asia. Apparently the Vietnamese Bo kho, is a version of this Chinese dish. It was first made by the Ethic Chinese Muslim group, Hui. I had a bowl at Blue Sky this week. I plan to eat many of these ...

Tackers!
2007-04-12 06:59:00 It’s fun to take kids to eat pho. Restaurants seem to be really accommodating, (well I haven’t been kicked out of one yet). There’s alway kids chairs and no one seems to get too upset when kids do kids things. Toby and I took our girls for a soup today. Unlike Toby and I, they ...
Pho Bac please?

(Also, I’ve never used the pull quote style, it’s pretty nifty.) My question for you is this - do you know anywhere in Melbourne that does awesome Hanoi-style pho?
