Bun Bun Bakery

Posted on October 5, 2024 Posted in PicsTagged Australia, Delicious, Food, IRL, Melbourne, Sandwich, Springvale, Vietnam

The sandwiches are delicious, the fillings are generous (the pâté in the mixed ham was surprisingly tasty), and the spring rolls are ten for $5!! No wonder, there’s a crazy queue for such a simple báhn mì joint. If only they’re not all the way at the edge of the city.

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.

Cuban Sandwiches

This place was pretty good. The salty cured meats were balanced out by the pan cubano, sour pickles and the mac and cheese croquettes on the side. I’d share this with you, but unfortunately like that Israeli place, this place has also since closed down.

Pancakes!

When American breakfast foods are like dessert… you have them for dessert. Lots of different chains across Australia, but The Pancake Parlour is quite good.

Lamb Shanks @ Platform 270

Despite it being technically “Spring”, the lamb shanks and polenta goes very well with the winter weather that isn’t letting up. They’re right next to Flinders Street Station, hence the name.

Yes, it does have a pouch on its belly.

Tulips @ Tesselaar

A spring-exclusive. Come for the tulips, stay for Australia’s largest clog! They’re on until Mid-October.
