Pidapipo is name the most authentic gelato in town. It features gelato flavours such as pistachio, rose, coconut, ricotta and much more. It has both dairy and dairy-free gelato. And both of them are absolutely divine! Texture wise, it is crazily smooth as silk. It is not too overly sweet like many others gelato. The amount of gelato given is absolutely generous. Initially, I was going to have 3 scoops for myself, but they are so big that I end up sharing with my friend. I ordered the hazel nut, mint and white chocolate and pistachio. For me my vor is the hazelnut. The flavor of gelato from pidapipo is not as strong comparison to others gelato places. For me the texture and the flaof Pidapipo is good. It's a nice ice cream agter dinner. For those whom like a softer type desert, that is lighter. I highly recommend Pidapipo gelato</div>

The Deep fried shrimp sandwich arrived very fast. There are really generous amount of golden crumbed deep fried shrimp in the sandwich. The shrimp was really crunch, serve with fresh tomato, picked cucumber, slaw, mayo all in half foot bread. There is a dash of hot sauce, which was a nice contrast to the sandwich. For me the bread was a bit hard, which made this dish a bit hard to made. The mayo was not really well spread, so as I was eating it, some bite I had the mayo, while some other bite don't. For me, I would prefer eating just the shrimp and the salad.</div>

Next is the famous New Orleans gumbo. I have never really had a lot of gumbo in the past, so I do not sure what it suppose to be like. Even so, I was not a fan of the gumbo. As there were 4 chunk of crabs, it took us ages to get through the meal.<br />

How can you go pass the fried chicken, when it's comes to southern food? We ordered the fried Chicken. The chicken was really nice and crunchy. There were creamy sauce at the bottom of the plate, which in a way made reminded me of American buffalo wing. I highly recommend to eat the chicken with the chilli sauce, and a bit of chilli dash goes a long way.</div>

I can let you know in advance that most of the dish on the menu can be really messy to eat.<br />
<br />
Do: The fried chicken and the shrimp (just because the shrimp and the child sauce was yum!)<br />
<br />
I can let you know, ordering 3 dishes only cost $34 AUD. Value for money right!<br />

The mix of fresh fruit and nuts on the tasty coconut yoghurt is absolutely divine! The nuts provides many difference kind of crunch factors. The fresh fruit provides the nature sweet and sour taste. The coconut yoghurt was not overly sweet, but perfect level of creaminess to it. When eaten all together made this dish very delicious. </div>

The pork has the middle eastern aroma touch to it, which makes this dish very exceptional. The egg was perfectly poached, so the inside was still very runny.

I have tried the hotcakes from <a href="http://graciousexpedition.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/top-paddock.html" target="_blank">Top Paddock</a> before. I am happy to say that hotcakes from The kettle black is no second. Melt in your mouth soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. The fresh maple coating made the dish very sweet and fresh. The balance sweetness is balance by the sour from the fresh seasonal fruit. To top all of this off was the crunch of the seeds.<br />
<br />
The Kettle Black is the place to visit if you around the Botanic garden or the Albert park. The food here is absolutely sensational at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend to get the house made coconut yoghurt, because once you tried it, you will never look at other coconut yoghurt again!!</div>

Akio Salmon Don took a little longer to arrived compare to the curry. This dish is essentially Japanese radish chutney with fatty salmon, serve with rice and salad. The part of salmon serve is very fatty, so it give the dish the moist texture. Radish chutney is very tang, crunch and very well balance between sweet and sour. I can tell that the chutney was not too old, and the radish was still really crunchy. Eating the salmon and the chutney it self was already very sensational. </div>

<a href="http://www.theurbanlist.com/melbourne/a-list/best-vegie-burgers-melbourne" target="_blank">UrbanList</a> has put Purple Peanuts's Burger as one of the best vegetarian burger in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of vegetarian burger, but I sure am a big fan of burger, so I ordered the prawn and tofu Gammodoki in ciabatta bread.</div>

After a bit into this burger, I can see why Purple Peanuts is one of the city best kept secrets. The tofu patty is pack with carrot, sake, sesame, ginger, and topped with tasty teriyaki and Japanese mayo dressing. .The prawn, was the perfect complimentary to the hero patty. The prawn was so fresh that every single bit into it, I can hear the "crunch" noise. There was reasonable amount of vegetable, which make it eatable, unlike many others burger places. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Purple Peanuts is seriously the Melbourne city hidden gem. The burger at Purple Peanuts is surely the heart of this funk fun Japanese place. That I highly recommend for the lunchtime wonderer around Southern Cross station to try out!</div>

<a href="http://www.gazirestaurant.com.au/" target="_blank">Gazi</a> is a place that combine classic Greek food with modern touch and a Melbourne twist. At Gazi, you can expect to find classic good such as souvlaki. But the souvlaki at Gazi is not your typical souvlaki that you can find on a food truck. You can expect to find something unoriginal such as soft-shell crab souvlaki or duck souvlaki. Sound like these unoriginal stuffing does not go well with souvlaki? Well believe me, they goes together crazily well!</div>

The most excited part about dinning at Gazi is eating it's delicious souvlakakia (souvlaki). We ordered "Beef" and "Crab". The Beef is stuff along with chips, parsley, onion and mustard mayo. For some reason, this time the beef stuffing was rather tough, so not meeting my liking. The Crab is soft shell bram with mint, coriander, honey and mayo. The Crab is definitely one cracking dish!

Next is the squeed. The Manitari is not your ordinary deep fried squeed. Rather, it's freshly caught squeed with mushrooms, yogurt and herb. This dish is very difference to the way that I am used to seeking my squeed being cook (deep fried). Yet it has really interesting combination of creamy from the yogurt, crunchy from the squeed and flagrant herb. However, it is nice trying it out, but I think next time I would try something else.</div>

Tuck shop location is not the easiest to access if you do not have a car. Therefore, whenever I am visiting I ensure to get the most out of it. Some of the way to get the most out of it is to do my homework before hand. That is to check out Tuck shop instagram and see what's Tuck shop have available.</div>

I ordered the pulled pork jaffle. Essentially, this dish is like a pulled pork toasted. The filled pork was delicious! The pork was moist, flavoursome and smoky BBQ aroma. There was some kind of Tuck shop "special sauce", but for me I felt like there weren't enough of it, so a bit lack of tanginess. However, Tuck shop house made tomato sauce was a fantastic substitutions. The amount of filling of pulled pork was really generous. Every single bite, whether big or small, there will be smoking of pulled pork in it.</div>

The bite size of xiao long boa is not my suitable bite size. It is way to big for me. Flavour wise, it is not the best xiao long boa I had in Melbourne. The pastry is slightly too thick for xiao long boa. Yet, for me it is acceptable xiao long boa.<br />

There is something about creamy peanut sauce and tasty pork and prawn wonton. Because this dumpling dish is to die for! The pork and prawn wonton stuffing was crunchy. The peanut sauce was slightly spicy. The broth from the pork and prawn stuffing gives it the moist texture. Overall, this dish is one of my favourite dumpling in Melbourne!</div>

Next was the pork shredded with garlic sauce. This dish was my friend decision to ordered. Got to say, not the best at all. The taste of this dish was such a mix of confuse in flavour, that I could not tell, whether I am tasting garlic or other spices. The combination of spices was bad. The only thing which was nice about this dish is the fact that it's not oily like the typical Chinese place.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Go to Shanghai Street Dumpling for their dumpling, not their other dish on the menu is my recommendation. Ensure to ordered the pork and prawn wontons with peanut sauce because believe me, when you first bite into it. It will give you the gracious expenditure!</div>

Essentially, Kadhai Paneer is red curry with feta cheese. The combination of creamy feta cheese and the level of spicy and others spices combine really nicely in this dish. </div>

When serve, chicken biryani seems really authentic. That is to see the mixed rice dish with spices, rice and chicken. The type of rice use was the long-grained basmati rice, which is difference to the jasmine rice which I'm used to. Personally, the biryani was a bit too salty for me. However it serve with yogurt dressing, which helps to soften the dish. That is, the acidity, the tanginess of the yogurt dressing helps to gives the contrast to the high level of saltines and all the spices. Note, according to the menu chicken biryani only available on Thursday and Friday.</div>

I didn't takes a picture of the goat and naan bread, but you can semi-see it in the picture above. Similar to the biryani, the goat was a bit too salty for my liking. But when eat with the yoghurt from the biryani, it was divine. Other than the yoghurt, when eaten with the naan bread the mix was even better! To note, we actually ordered the garlic naan bread. But the waitress gave us plain naan bread. Yet the naan was SMASHING! In one bite, there was a good level of crunch to it, as well as the level of softness to it as well.</div>

Both the cinnamon and plain kouign amann was devine. It had a hardish texture, but was buttery yet flaky at the same time with the right depth of denseness. I could not enjoy eating butter as much as when I was eating this much talk about kouign amann.</div>

HuTong Dumpling Bar (HuTong)'s dumpling is by far one of my personal favourite dumpling place. One of their signature dish is the Xiao long bao. The first bite into this little dumpling is an explosive of pork broth, which is extremely flavoursome, aromatic and just delicious.</div>

When I cut open the Xiao long bao, the clear golden pork broth just burst out of the Xiao long bao. The pork ball inside was super moist, tender and very clean tasting.

Operator25 in the last few months of the year in 2014 and beginning of 2015 is one of the most talk about place in Melbourne. Melbourne is a city which is hungry for a good breakfast/branch/lunch and a cup (or two) of coffee. And that is exactly what Operator25 is targeted at. However! I can tell you for a fact that Operator25's <a href="http://www.operator25.com.au/files/operator25-menu-summer2015.pdf" target="_blank">food</a> is way too overated.</div>

Operator25 is rank very high when it's comes to coffee. As soon as we arrived at 2pm on a Friday, we were seated right away (which is lucky for popular place). My friend ordered a cut of latte right away. She hoped for amazing coffee, and I hoped for gracious food. Unfortunately, the coffee was average (according to her). My friend ordered the breakfast tortilla filled with chorizo, scrambled egg, mixed mushrooms, aged cheddar cheese and green harissa sauce, which comes at the price $17AUD. As you can see in the picture, the tortilla look very average, and it taste very average. To be truthful the tortilla actually taste very bland. It needs a good seasoning, and just not a high ranking cafe quality!</div>

For my late lunch, I went with the Matcha and white chocolate hot cakes with black sesame mascarpone, banana chips, toasted hazelnut and cherry sauce, which comes at the price $16 AUD. To be truthful, I actually wanted to come to Operator because of this Matcha hot cakes. Just like the tortilla, this dish was absolute disappointment. The hot cake green tea it self was acceptable if ignore that it's a bit dry. Pillowy soft on the inside, good bitterness level of the green tea, crunchy on the outside, with a slight golden brown crunch. The problem is the black sesame cream and the sour cherry sauce. The cream was way too heavy and dense. The sour cherry sauce just have a very strong tang, and does not have any others flavour to it at all. This dish simply was not right at all! The only thing I enjoy from this dish was the crunchy banana chip.</div>

Before dinning at the Taxi Kitchen, I have booked a table. Just to ensure that there is a table for the two of us. I book a day before, and there were only available seat at 12pm and again at 1pm. Clearly, booking a table at a popular place like this is always a good choice.</div>

Next is the main. I decided to go with the famous wagyu porterhouse with horseradish cream and yakiniku dipping sauce. Just like the starter, this dish look fantastic.

After my first bite into this famous desert, I can tell the seriously good! The souffle is crazily soft, that when in my mouth, it's melt away like it was never there. The souffle is sweet, but was balance by the sour passionfruit. The passionfruit seed provides the crunchy texture to this desert. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only regret about dining at the Taxi Kitchen was not getting my own desert. The souffle was seriously delicious that I just want more! I can not wait to dining at the Taxi Kitchen again, to eat more of the passionfruit souffle. Seriously when you have a bite at the souffle, it will provide the gracious experience!</div>

The way that the Rocket burger cook all of their burger patties is medium rare to retain maximum taste. Thus, if you are not a fan of medium rare patties, I highly advices you to let the stuff at the Rocket knows quickly. </div>

There are ranges of burger options and as as combo option. I would suggest to get the combo option as it is so worth it. Say if I order the Man burger (the best burger there) it is $10. Then a regular chip cost $4. In a combo, I pay $15 but I get the Man burger, regular chip, one of my choice dipping sauce and any drink. </div>

The combo is such a bargain. But even if it was not a bargain, I wouldn't care after I have the Man burger. The burger of juicy (which is how beef should be eaten to get the full flavour of it), enough seasoning, right level of grease, fresh vegetable, tasty sauces, and just heavenly to eat. As for the chip, it was Okey for me and I had a better one else where. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ordered Salumi della tradition (Italian meat platter) for sharing for starter. Rossini's does not ask for serving size, but rather, the staff count the number of people sharing and the kitchen staff prepare the right size for sharing. On the platter, there were thinly sliced coppa, salami, mortadella, and baresaola. Along with it, four pieces of olive oil. As the complementary bread was re-fillable, it was fantastic to have the slice meat with the freshly bake bread.</div>

The second starter was Foie gras with foam pumpkin. The Foie gras was approximately 2 inches long, which was very generously serve. The Foie gras was perfectly cook. The skin was ceramelise, creamy and silky smooth. Generally, Foie gras goes very nice with something sweet, and in this case the form pumpkin was that sweet feature. The pumpkin was in foam form, was it was not too dense. On top of this, were was this thick black sauce. This sauce provides salty flavour, which was not too overpower. Overall, every last balance perfectly.</div>

When I was ordering, I was unsure of what Artichoke would taste like, but I believed in Rossini's skill in cooking. Artichoke soup was serve with pieces of boil Artichoke, and toped with cream foam. The taste was combination of creamy and tang. It was very difference from any other soup I have tasted before, but overall it was nice.</div>

Next was the Risotto ai fungi (Lobster risotto). It was interesting to see that, rather serving the lobster on top of the risotto, it was serve on the side. This totally reminded me how in culinary world, some of the chef are trying to modernise their dishes. As for the taste, the lobster was so fresh that when bite into it, I can hear crunchy noise in my ear. The risotto cooking time was spot on, this was evidence on the texture of risotto. The risotto was creamy, but the tomato sauce was tangy, which was great balance.</div>

One of the main dish was Branzino all aqua pazza (Pan fried sea bass) serve with cooked tomato. This was my favourite dish. The fish was so fresh, the skin was crunchy, and the taste was so spot on. The cooked tomato provide a tangy taste, which was nice with the fish. There was small amount of creamy sauce along with the fish. That sauce has a salty taste to it, and it provide an extra creaminess to this dish. On top of this, there was fresh basal, which complexities up this dish in a good way.</div>

Italian sausage with rocket salad was not on the menu. However, when ordering, my parent wanted to eat Italian sausage and salad. Thus, the waiter said that the kitchen stuff could come up with a special dish just for us. That was very nice of Rossini's staff. The salad was essentially rocket salad, parmesan cheese, fresh tomato and dress with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic dressing. When eaten all the pieces together, it made me feel like a teenage girl with a tube of Pringles chip. I just can't stop eating it, it was seriously yum.</div>

Insalata di frutta stagionate was basically like merengue with fruit. Although the menu said fresh fruit, but after eating it, I can tell it was frozen. However, I didn't mind it, as the merengue was instantly good. In the picture you can't see it, but it was two pieces of merengue sandwich together the cream. Thus, eating each pieces of the merengue was not too hard. This dish wasn't only taste good, it's cook wonderful!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall dinning at Rossini's was sensational. The Italian food was authentic, with modern twist to it. I guess, trying to describe what's its like dining at Rossini's, is difficult, because the experience dinning at it is gracious. You just got to go and tried it out!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other noodle that we ordered was gravy fish noodle. We ordered a medium size, and it contain approximately six pieces of pan fried fish. This was very generous of Hua Seng Hong. The tasty part of this dish was the peppery gravy. When eaten this dish, I highly recommend to scoop a bit of each feature on to your spoon and eaten it all together. When eaten all together, you will totally understand how genius Hua Seng Hong is when comes to cooking. As the tasty peppery gravy is balance with the creamy fish and pillowy soft noodle. To top that off, is the crunchy vegetables. This dish is truly a sensational to eat!.</div>
<br />
Overall, Hua Seng Hong is absolutely a gracious expedition to dine at. Though, I recommend to order their signature dishes, and ask the waiter for the recommendation. Then I can let you know that you will not be disappointed.<br />

My younger brother, went with Japanese Katsu curry. Similar to the classic Japanese Katsu dish, this dish was serve with Japanese pork Katsu and the original Japanese curry.

The dish was essentially a blow of rice top with pork cutlet, onion and egg. This dish is a very homemy Japanese dish, that you could find in most Japanese restaurant, but the only difference is how the pork was cook. Chabuton recipe cooked the pork cutlet very interestingly that work the come back!</div>

Once finish the main dish, Chabuton serve complementary green tea ice cream. This is actually my second favourite part about dining at Chabuton. As the flavour of the green tea ice cream was so rich, yet not overly sweet like many other green tea ice cream from many other places.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Japanese food has been around Thailand for years. Some places is very average, while some is absolutely to die for. Chabuton is on the absolutely to die for end of the spectrum. I would recommend to visit Chabuton as it will provide you the gracious Japanese expenditure.</div>

Amici menu provides a long list of classic Italian dishes such as pizza and pasta and the more fancy fine dining dish such as Italian pan fired Sea bass. The lunch and dinner menu is identical, thus if you feel like fine dining dishes for lunch is absolutely available. On top of that, Amici has a fantastic wine list and in case you are not sure of what to get, the service at Amici is extremely helpful.</div>

For starters, I highly recommend the truffles soup. The soup was serve in a black coffee shot. The soup has a very strong aroma of truffles, and the combination of truffles and cream is also very strong. The soup was serve with two little deep fried bread, which was fantastic for dipping!</div>

To finish off the experience at Amici, we ordered two deserts. The first was the classic Italian desert, chocolate lava. When the dish was serve, personally I was dissapointed.

The lava was just good, and that was it.</div>

The last dish of the meal was the orange crepe. This dish was to die for! The crepe was exactly what it should be. The orange source was exactly what orange source should be. A desert to die for!<br />
<br />
Overall Amici is a place to visit after a long shooing day at Siam Paragon mall. Hence, if you ever in the Siam Paragon mall, or even MBK, it worth a little walk to the ground floor to Amici.<br />

These colourful houses may be purchased by the residents from the council. On 2008, some of the selling prices range of $200,000 AUD. On top of this, there is a requirement of $500 AUD annual payment to the council. Clearly, owning one of this house is an expensive business. </div>

To get there:</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are several ways to get to this part of Brighton beach. One of the quickest, and easiest is by using the public train. By getting on the Sandringham line and get off at Brighton Beach railway station. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other way is to use the public tramp. Bus services is another alternative transport, including the 216 and 219 bus lines. These lines run from Melbourne CBD.</div>

Beside the vegetarian options, from the deli cabinet, there are also non vegetarian options available. We ordered the Moroccan lamb pie. When serve, the pie was heated and serve with side salad. The pie was very moist, the lamb was lean and not gamey at all. The combination of the pie and the salad was very nicely together. As the salad provide the freshness, the crunch, and creaminess from dressing. Mean while the pie was top with canberay source, which gave it another dimension to the dish.</div>

Despite the look and the name, one of the dish which Kinji is famous for is the Spider roll. It basically is deep fried soft shell crab put into sushi roll. When order this dish, you has to make sure that you are not too hungry. Because this dish is made to order, and it can take a while. But believe me, it is so worth the wait! The soft shell crab is very crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Even in the sushi roll, the crab is still very crunchy. This dish hits all the wow factors, and I can see why, people keep coming back to Kinji.</div>

Beside the food available on the menu, Kinji also provides lots of special dish off the menu. While I was there, some of the special I had was the venison sashimi. I had many venison before in the past, and this venison is delish. The fresh melt in the mouth. The meat was cook for a little, which provided slight smoky aroma, which lift the whole dish to the next level.</div>

New Zealand is known for their seafood, and eating fresh oyster is some of my favourite thing to eat. Therefore, I could not go pass the daily special fresh oyster Japanese style. As I expected, the oysters were sensational. My friend who was with me, who has never tried out fresh oyster before love it as well. The oyster were so fresh that I can still taste the sea water. The seasoning that Kinji uses lift the seasoning of this dish to be really heavenly.</div>

Japanese cooking is famous for their tempura (deep fried), so we could not go pass tempura dish. The coated tempura was beautiful cooking. Really crunchy on the outside, and the fish were perfectly cook. As for the vegetable tempura, initially I was a bit skeptical at fist, since I had some bad experience in the past. But by giving the vegetable tempura a chance was great idea. It was not greasy at all. To put it in simple term, there were out of this world delicious.</div>

To finish off the wonderful experience at Kinji. We decided to go all Japanese. Therefore, we ordered green tea tiramisu. Basically, rather than the original coffee, green tea powdered was used to replace the coffee and the chocolate. It was difference from the original, but on the scale of yumminess, this desert was off the chart. Even my friend who does not like green tea at all, absolutely love it!</div>

For anyone who live, or even visit Chrstchurch, Kinji is the place to visit. The Japanese food here is so delicious, the stuff is extremely friendly, and you will get a gracious experience from dining at Kinji.</div>

Mr. Nice Guy, is a place that takes on classic Thai dishes and twist it up in Melbourne style. Simply, it's Thai fusion place. One of my favourite Thai dish in Thailand is eastern Thai food. The dishes that you would generally expected from this cuisine includes: grill chicken, sticky rice, papaya salad, and so on. Mr. Nice Guy has exactly the eastern Thai food, but with Melbourne twist. Rather than the typical delicious grill chicken, Mr. Nice Guy grill the chicken with coconut, which was difference from the original but yum!</div>

I can not wait for desert, as I generally do not enjoy Thai desert, but I love Melbourne desert. Hence, I was really much interested on how would Mr. Nice Guy will takes on Thai desert. I decided to go with deconstructed cheesecake with smoke pineapple. The cheesecake part was really nice! Creamy, little tang of lime, and slight aroma of lime and vanilla. When eat it together with the crumb disquiet, and the smoke pineapple, all the wow factors were hit the spot! I seriously enjoy this desert so much that if I was alone, I would probably lick the plate!<br />
<br />
I can not wait to fine a time to visit Mr. Nice Guy again. It blow me away with the way they cook Thai food, and gave me so much gracious experience, that I didn't even though I could get from eating Thai food outside Thailand!<br />
