Victoria Noodle Restaurant

We have finally found a place with bake rice and the usual drinks of red bean or my fav mixed coffee and tea!!! OMG!!!


Shredded pork Preserved vege vermiceli:


Baked fish fillet with garlic sauce


Baked chicken with portugese sauce on spagatti


This place reminds me of Iano in Auckland many years ago while I was still at uni, I would go there every week to eat, or just drink and try to study in the midst of all the noise! It closed down sadly and I was never able to find another HK place to dine as nice as that. So when we were introduced to Victoria Noodle Restaurant which is hidden underground from the main road I was so happy!
I will definately be back again but the thing is there is so many other HK cafes to dine I must see which one is the best! They don't have my satay beef sandwich which I quite enjoyed the one in Auckland!
This place also does chinese, malaysian and thai cuisine but I'm not sure if i'll go there for that...honestly, with so many places to try it's only a matter of being brave and going in!

Eastwood

Last night, we had dinner at this new suburb that we've never been to called Eastwood. It reminded me a little of howick area where the place is full of chinese restaurants. It mainly consist of chinese and hong kong style crusine so if you're looking for jap or korean you won't find too many around here.


We went to this small hong kong shop called BBQ One and apparently it's recommended in the cheapeats book of Sydney.


One meat on rice cost $9.80 and 2 meat on rice cost an extra dollar. They also sold laksa, dry noodles and their service was quick and free soup came with it too! I think my dad in law will like this place because of the roast meat =) It's pretty crammed and you smell after you leave....

Roast pork on rice


After dinner we crossed the road to have dessert. This place is called Taste of Shanngjai restaurant There were about 2 bubble tea place and this dessert store stood out because of the red bean display. This place sells very shanghainese food...there were so many types of buns, noodles, peking duck, and sweet desserts. The list goes on and so it's definately a place where I'll come back again and it's packed even at 9pm!
Here are some items off their menus just to give you a taste of what they have:

Rice cakes with preserve vege


Stir Fry noodles with prawns


Double filling of sesame and red bean in one sticky rice ball


This is the red bean dessert I had

Red bean + Herbal jelly + Ice cream


Vanilla ice cream on the top


Loads of jelly and red bean swimming in the sea of milk


This was sweet, lots of coconut milk so next time i'll probably ask for less milk. Also if you don't select regular size they automatically give you big which is quite big especially after dinner.

Honey melon drink served with herbal jelly and basil seeds


There were other drinks on the menu such as chendol, ice kajang, cheng teng, sago gulaman and the usual bubble tea, frappes, ice cream etc etc....definately a place to visit if you want your asian desserts.

I'm so glad we checked out this area coz now I can bring you to check it out when you come =)
