I returned to try out another of their noodle dishes: Rice Noodles w. Tofu Pudding, Peanut Pieces, Beef Mince, Pickled Chinese Cabbage and Special Chili Sauce ($10). Again, there was a huge serve of the smooth noodles but this time I couldn't finish it. The tofu pudding is apparently similar to that found in tofu fa. It was smooth and softer than regular tofu, but firm enough to pick up with chopsticks relatively easily. There was barely any beef mince. The first thing I tasted was the chilli sauce....

My uni friends found out about my birthday so we headed off to Meshiya for a belated birthday celebration. As much as I like oyakodon, some photos on circluating around the internet showed it to not be as runny as I liked. I also didn't feel like eating a lot, especially because I knew there would be cake, so I got the Mini Sushi Don ($14.8), with a choice of salmon, kingfish or assorted fish. There's also a regular sized chirashi don for $18.80. [caption id="attachment_5570" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Mini...

After church we went to G2 for lunch, which I think is a relatively new Korean restaurant on Elizabeth St. I wasn't hungry enough to have the bibimbap so I went for a lighter option of seafood soba in soup ($8.90). It came with 2 prawns, 2 mussels and 2 fish cakes. There was nothing particularly good or bad about this one.

This is the second restaurant added to my list of to-try's from The Age's "Don't stop at the dumplings" article and being only 2 minutes walk away from uni, I don't really have any excuse not to go. [gallery type="rectangular" ids="5520,5521,3460,3461"] Today I had the Cross-Bridge Noodles ($12), which was a large bowl of very hot soup, served with raw quail egg, fish, chicken, two types of ham,   chicken, assorted veggies and warm, pre-cooked noodles. The idea is to add all these ingredients into the soup (in that order)...

After reading an article on Chinese food in The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/good-food/eat-out/dont-stop-at-the-dumplings-8230-20130701-2p69w.html) this one piqued my interested so I thought I'd come and visit. The entrance to this small restaurant is quite inconspicuous and I walked past it because I didn't see it. I came here mainly to try the noodles, since they're handmade, and was hoping to try the spicy chicken with vegetables on noodles (as suggested by the article). Unfortunately the lunch special version only came with rice and I didn't feel like spending $22 for the...
