HOT: Simon’s Peiking Duck, 197b Middleborough Rd, Box Hill South
Simon’s Peiking Duck is one of those suburban food destinations that draws inner-city types out of their cobblestone alleyways and power-steering down the freeway.

HOT: Shanghai Street Dumpling, 342 Little Bourke St, Melbourne

I have blogged about [...]
HOT: Golden Dragon Palace, 363 Manningham Rd, Lower Templestowe
I don’t shy away from being decisive on this blog so I’m going to make bold claim. Golden Dragon Palace has the best yum cha in Melbourne. So. I’ve put it out there now. Of course, I haven’t eaten at every single yum cha restaurant in Melbourne. It’s possible that there are places that do [...]
