Ask the Doctor: Best Peking duck
Help me Doctor!: I have a craving for Peking Duck. Which restaurant does the best duck in Melbourne? - Michael S Your prescription: Rumour has it that the best Peking Duck can be found at Old Kingdom, 197 Smith St Fitzroy. Other Peking Duck establishments include: Flower Drum, 17 Market Lane, Melbourne (very nice, very expensive) and the [...]
HOT: Macro Wholefoods, 153 Bridge Road, Richmond
Ladies and Gentlemen, witness the demise of Victoria’s largest natural and organic store. Macro Wholefoods opened in Richmond with much fanfare in 2005. However, it seems that even the chi-chi, health-aware foodies of Melbourne don’t shop there, so it’s holding a closing down sale until 21 June, after which time the stores will rise from [...]
HOT: Pacific Seafood BBQ House, 240 Victoria St, Richmond

And Jetsetting Joyce? She is going to IKEA. I’ve officially checked out of Life. [...]
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. Selecting a restaurant can be a bit daunting for the uninitiated – life’s too short to be eating bad pho. The [...]
HOT: Stelios, above 54 Bridge Rd, Richmond
Long ago when I first moved to Melbourne, I asked my flatmate whether she could recommend a hairdresser. She immediately launched into an enthusiastic PR spiel for her hairdresser, known as Stelios (only one name required, like Madonna). My haircuts gained such widespread acclaim that at one stage literally ten of my friends were getting [...]
