Drool.

The chicken palami lasagne shepherds pie can only be a quarterly experience.

Arteries require a minimum of three months to recover.

Posted: **Mon Aug 30, 2010 4:26 pm**

Doesn't that mean you can do it four times a year?

Posted: **Mon Aug 30, 2010 4:47 pm**

quadruple bypass!

Posted: **Mon Aug 30, 2010 6:59 pm**

Fents wrote:my palami (parama with added salami goodness) :

chicken breast, butterflied and flattened
wizz up a 50/50 mix of cornflakes and nacho cc's really fine
coat chicken with egg and roll in cornflake and cc's mix
shallow fry until golden
remove from pan and spread napoli sauce on as thick or as thin as you like (any napoli sauce, just jar stuff)
one layer of ham, one layer of salami
Top with cheese
grill under over till cheese is golden brown and is bubbling a tiny bit.

fukn brilliant... worked a treat, need to fire up a good napoli next time and it will be perfect... jar stuff was just ok, but the chicken turned out so good, cheers heaps Fents. All I had to do was close my eyes while eating and i was back in melb. First parma o/s and a damn good one at that.

Anyone got any tips for a good Vietnemese restaraunt in EastRichmond. I know heres stacks of them, just wondering if anyone has a favourite.

Posted: **Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:25 pm**

^ D'you mean good-good or cheap-good? If cheap, back in the day I had much love for Thy Thy, but it's been a looooong time

. Also, there's one away from the pack up near Victoria Gardens that a mate used to prefer.

Hurr hurr...

The good-cheap places definitely have good food. I s'pose I meant 'good-good' as less of the communal table/wipe-down menus vibe. Nfi about any fancy shit like that, though.

Ezard soon !!! mmmmmmm

Went to Gracias Madre last night in the Mission in San Fran. Awesome vegan mexican, and they even had a Mariachi band playing there last night...

is there a trick to this?
i have tried cooking things with sweet miso on it, but it doesn't work like i thought
do you have to dilute it or something??

Sounds awesome.

My mate had his 30th birthday dinner at White Lotus on Saturday.
I had the Lemon Chicken and also the Baked fish in Tamarind Sauce.
Fucken deelishus.

Posted: **Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:09 pm**

Yeah the Tamarind fish is pretty legendary...

Posted: **Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:12 pm**

Its been over a year since I hit that joint.
Usually find it a bit oily and always feel bloated afterwards.

Posted: **Mon Nov 22, 2010 1:19 pm**

The only time I've been to White Lotus was with a vego mate, who really didn't like the taste/texture of meat. Spent the whole time looking for things on the menu that didn't have fake meat in them

worst option is the White Lotus special, 3 types of mushroom in a really over powering sauce.
My friend ordered it to take the piss out of non-meat eaters.

Posted: **Tue Nov 23, 2010 8:49 pm**

i love 3 types of mushroom!!
what kind of mushroom?

Posted: **Tue Nov 23, 2010 9:51 pm**

I had a BBQ Burger which was mega unreal. (plus desserts to die for and awesome smoothies using cashew and almond milks)....

defo going back multiple times

Posted: **Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:35 pm**

i defy anyone to find a better parma in melbourne than the one at tusk in windsor

had one for the first time in ages the other night, and they still fucking rock

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:22 pm**

current restaurant faves?
booking special ladies dinner in a couple of weeks and too many options around.
cutler & co booked out, thinking long grain or taxi perhaps.
help appreciated.

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:34 pm**

long grain is amazing. that's all i got sorry lady

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:51 pm**

The Court House in North Melbourne gets a good rep
Hellenic Republic is also pretty damn popular
Grossi - the grill is always radness

i would go Taxi in a heartbeat though, had the best wagu steak there, still drooling over it

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:00 pm**

Have done the Court House with same group and yes...amazing.
Hellenic a bit casual, thinking more fine dining style...still love it though.
Grossi perhaps, but a vego in the ranks, so probs after something less meaty.

Think I'll push for Taxi...it does look out of control good.

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:03 pm**

Nobu.

South American inspired Japanese ftmfw!

Go the yellow tail sashimi. Its yellow tail, in a light soy, with sliced jalapenos.

easily the best thing to eat in melbourne, hands down.
