azalea is INCREDIBLE food. yum yum yum. and really really nice staff there too.

they don't actually have a single vegie dish on the menu but i've asked them to make something up and each time i've been there (about 5) they've made a different thing for me and they've all been really really tasty...

I don't care what the haters think, I just finished a Footlong Chicken Fillet with Honey Mustard and Sweet Onion sauce from Subway, and man is that satisfying

i have to admit - when you're in the mood subway can be really good

You can do a lot worse than Subway. But I'm not sure about the meat there, I usually get salads.

sneaky hands · Post by **sneaky hands** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 5:35 pm

i like making stirfries..i tend to just invent my own sauces. its pretty hard to fuck up. heres another easy one:

make sure youve got vegies chopped beforehand. Try beans, snow peas, bok choi, broccoli, chinese broccoli, carrot, onion, capsicum, shiitake mushrooms.

heat up some sesame oil in a wok, chuck in a bunch of stir fry pork and fry till its just cooked. empty it out onto a piece of kitchen paper.

put a bit more oil in the wok and stick in some onion, crushed garlic and capsicum. fry it till its soft then chuck in all the other vegies. Then throw the pork back in over the top. shake it around a bit. then pour in oyster sauce and sweet chilli sauce...whatever looks appropriate

and thats it. no need to do the vegies for long, the point is to keep em crispy.

I cant stand the smell of subway.. when I walk past I wanna spew!

They have awesome cookies though, when I was working in Toorak rd I used to make the secretary get me macadamia cookies for me all the time. yumo!

Quick is on the right tip with the chicken fillet + honey mustard combo.

GM: agreeing with you on the top quality of Pure South. Only been there once but i was soo impressed! Great food!

Abla's - ate there recently for the boy's birthday and we splurged on the $40 per person banquet. My god! We ate the most beautifully prepared and cooked lebanese food ever in this popular and family run little restaurant. We ate more than different 10 different entree & main dishes which were served in perfect sized portions so that you got to taste everything, eat loads but weren't going to explode (like Mr Cresote!) Finished off with coffee that didnt keep me up all night and took our 2 desserts home to eat!
10/10 for Abla's on Elgin St in Carlton, plus it is BYO with NO CORKAGE charge!

Pho - no one has mentioned this fine dish of vietnamese goodness. I love a trip to Mekong on Swanston to have some or to Vina Bar on Lygon which also does great chicken and coleslaw salad. YUMMMM.
If we go to Richmond for the Vietnamese fix it has to be Thi Thi!

There's one off Dandenong Rd in Malvern East (opp. Coles), next to a Greek Restaurant that does pretty good souva's. Also the one opp. Souvlaki King (who is NOT the king) in Brunswick St, Fitzroy. There's another one in High St Northcote that's bad-ass - not sure what it's called (the bloke who owns it is painting a mural inside there...)
