Big Chicken Plate @ Huya Chaoji

The menu said the green pepper plate was slightly spicy. I forgot it was “Asian” spicy – they really loaded up with the Sichuan peppercorns. It’s not SUPER hot, but it paralyzed my lips for the next 90 minutes.

The attached head slightly detracted from the dining experience.

The great spice bag place also features a changing weekend special, and this one is something I wish they’d have throughout the week.

Butter Chicken @ HR Cafe & Bar

This place caught my attention when an Instagram reel tagged this as “the best butter chicken in Melbourne”. Between the curry that isn’t overpoweringly sweet and the very generous serving of chicken, I was not disappointed. Their mac and cheese croquettes weren’t bad either.

Not quite cheesy, not quite cream sauce. Surprisingly good though. The place also serves the other korean viral classics like budae jjigae.

Thai Chicken Rice @ Khao Man Gai

Tastes a lot like Hainanese Chicken Rice. Still really good regardless. You can find them right where other good (albeit touristy) restaurants are.

I Queued For 2 Hours to Eat African Chicken

Lunch Spread
Mediterranean Salad and Mushroom Soup
African Chicken with Caramelized Bananas and Special Sauce, served with Garlic Bread
Baked Tilapia with Roasted Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes and Green Beans
I was in the area when the Gabon restaurant opened just last week, so I decided to have lunch here. Their virality may have worked a little too well, as I faced a 2-hour queue to get in, with no reservations available to get around. The buy-one-get-one-free opening special turned out to be a a buy-one-get-half free (as you get an extra quarter chicken for buying a half chicken), and they seem to have tripped the circuit breaker multiple times, which plunged the restaurant into darkness for a few minutes.

The food is definitely tasty, but I do find myself wanting more in terms of portions, particularly for the mushroom soup and quarter chicken. Might consider visiting again once the hype dies down, but in the meantime, I’ve had similarly good African grill without the hassle of waiting an eternity, or the (in my opinion) mismatched French bistro aesthetic.

Sure to leave a group of hungry friends satisfied. They have spots everywhere, including in Australia.

Chicken Nanban @ Bijin Nabe

Because it’s Indonesia, there’s a properly spicy variant (orange) of the tartar sauce. Taken at Bijin Nabe.

Perfect pre-theater fare, particularly before watching Moulin Rouge.
