HOT: Pho Dzung Tan Dinh, 208 Victoria St, Richmond
Victoria Street is Melbourne’s mini-Vietnam, which means the strip from Hoddle St to Church St is lined with numerous pho (sliced beef noodle soup) restaurants, all propounding to sell the best bowl in town.

Although J found a hair stuck to one of her churros (the waiter responded with ‘cool’), [...]

For the first time in the history of HOT OR NOT I have seriously contemplated the creation [...]
HOT: Mess Hall, 51 Bourke St, Melbourne
Ever since my last visit to MEL, I’d been looking forward to a repeat tasting of the homemade muesli at The Mess Hall. Well, the clean-cut walls, dark wood tables and friendly service were the same, but god knows what they’ve done to their muesli recipe! Not only was it not the same as last [...]
