OK, thanks - eggs it is, then!

Try the corner fritters . Ask if they can do a pavlova or squid !!

The pork patties, beef brisket and coconut jelly for dinner tonight hit the spot. Had two coughtails Flying Fox and Brambled Highball which was very refreshing.

The pork patties were delicious. Super spicy which I like. Wasn't impressed with the dan dan noodles. I found it quite bland. The fried chicken bao tasted like the chicken had been prefried as it was dry and cold.

Looks good! Is that a special menu item?

Yes, along with usual steak option.

Had avocado cream and blanched almonds. Should have taken a pic of the menu to see what else. Good combo.

FYI. Yes absolutely enjoyed the trout tartare. Asked for it twice on Wednesday.

Some pics from a recent visit to Mel first with the fam.

Vodka /lemoncello spritz


Cheeseburger (master mort started disassembling before I could get the first pic), verdict was it was mid, so not good but not bad.


Beef brisket, tender and tasty and not dried out lime my last visit.


Dan Dan noodles, tasty but a little too much oil used.


KFC very tasty, probably my fav savoury dish on this visit


Pavlova, my current favorite iteration with mango

This dish will stir a bit of pronunciation lesson with waiting staff. In December, the blonde waitress corrected me when I ordered Ocean Trout Tartare (ta-tar) and repeated Ocean Trout Tartare (as we call the savoury mayonnaise) to me. I gave her an aghast look but kept quiet. Last week the little Muslim waitress just smiled. However when I ordered it again after the brisket (left the half that was just a slab of fat, nature of the cut), the smile left her face. I fear she thought I was being greedy. She was right of course, delectable dishes brings out the mostly subdued gluttony in me.
