Korean Barbeque at 火爐 Hwaro, Melbourne
Sep 3rd
Monday 9 August 2010
I actually laughed at my own stupidity thinking back on how we actually find this place. Walking in the opposite direction as well as figuring out which road is which road here and there takes us more than 30 minutes of walk.
Good thing we finally found this very place that was recommended by a friend. It was our first night there in Melbourne and the first dinner we had was Korean food!
Entering the place with a low light setting where i could see that 100% of the people there were Asians(Most Koreans), a very friendly efficient staff ushered us to this very place next to this wall. The wall full of scribblings – Not something new though but i was happy reading some of the stuffs written then, some by fellow Malaysians! Lol.
As usual, there’ll be the side dishes (ban chan) served in Korean BBQ Restaurants which includes the must have Kim Chi!
(Bul-Go-Gi)Grilled Marinated Beef AUD $18.90 – 4/5
Marinated Beef Pork Ribs AUD $18.90 -4/5
Mushroom AUD $5.00 -4/5
The Pork Ribs were pretty good and the marinated beef was just awesome! Perhaps it’s the sauce that they used to marinate them, but one thing i’m sure that the meats in Melbourne taste better than the ones in Malaysia, especially the beefs!!
Of course, it all depends on how you barbeque them.
The girlfriend did barbeque some of the meat herself too, prolly better to do it yourself sometimes to get more satisfied at the end of the meal Lol.
We had a staff helping us from time to time and the meats served were just nice. <3
Oh and you noticed the mushrooms? Mushrooms are our favorites so well, we loved it!
Tofu Soup AUD 25.00 – 4/5
We both love this Tofu Soup very much. With mushrooms and lots of tofu with assorted vegetables along with some spices, this single dish had us extremely full at the end of our meals. The portion was quite big actually but we were satisfied!
Steam Rice AUD $2.00
At the end of the day, we had quite a good dining experience with great customer service provided by the staffs. The food was good and i actually like it more if compared to Daorae Korean BBQ in KL.
*Maybe i should frequent Daorae more to try out more of their available choices.
Of course, the person you’re eating with often plays quite an important role and that makes the first dinner in Melbourne memorable for me personally. =)
Would definitely go back there if i get the chance to go to Melbourne again!

Have a Great Weekend Peeps!
Aug 27th
Hey hey let me share an awesome site with you guys – paramkl.com.my
It is one website which reminds you why Malaysia is a wonderful country, a country which have a whole series of delicious food!
ParamKL is Your Pasar Ramadhan Assistant and you could hunt for good awesome food around your neighborhood throughout these few weeks before Hari Raya comes.
Nasi Kampung Ayam Berencah
Murtabak Daging
and these food above was my dinner a few hours earlier!! Yums!!! =D
*Dear if you are reading this don’t be angry yah, last weekend i’ve been eating porridge mahh… =X
So yea, do check out the site mentioned above yah =)
Anyways, this month is really not a good month. Yes i went travelling with the girlfriend early this month and well sad to say, that’s probably the only good thing that happen this whole month.
The other incidents were pretty much insignificant, stupid, idiotic or let me put it this way, i actually came to this point where i had deep thoughts – something that i rarely do already since ages ago. Thanks to all the shits that happen altogether; it was great having you visiting me again.
Well anyways, this specific weekend will be a long weekend for quite a lot of people i believe. 5 whole days to those who work in Selangor and took leave for next Monday that is.
Me? i already have my long weekend last week with 3 out of 4 days spent in the toilet for countless time.
Okay lah cut the crap…
Have a Great weekend yourself aite!!!
Cheers =)
ShareAwesome Vietnamese Beef Noodles at Mekong, Melbourne
Aug 22nd
Wednesday 11 August 2010
Our very 3rd day there in Melbourne that is. Waking up hunting for lunch under the drizzling rain on the streets of Melbourne. Mekong is one of the many food places recommended by a few friends when i was still planning on this trip.
The place was fully packed with mainly Asians and i could already smell the soup when we enter into Mekong. Only managed to find a place for ourselves beside the wall and ordered what we wanted.
Durian Smoothy – AUD $4.2
Rating – 3/5
Hot tea is available for free at every table and i really recommend you not to order any drinks and just go along with the tea if you’re on a tight budget. However if you want to order drinks, i’ve tried the Durian Smoothy and i think it’s nice. =D
Rice Paper Rolls (Chargrilled Chicken) 2pcs – AUD$4.5
Rating – 2.5/5
Don’t ask me why we ordered this but well i just think that it’s just so so only. With slices of chicken and lettuce with other ingredients, the sauce that goes along with it does not satisfy my stomach. Something is lacking i feel.
Broken Rice with Chargrilled Chicken – AUD $9
Rating – 3/5
This is what the girlfriend ordered and i tried thinking that it was just average. Nothing more i can say about it.
Beef and Beef Balls Noodles – $9.5
Rating 4.5/5
With a strong base of beef bone soup, this is one of the best food I’ve ate in Melbourne. Served with awesome juicy beef meats and beef balls, i couldn’t help but to finish it though the portion was relatively bigger than what i’ve expected! The soup was cooked pretty well and balanced where the meats are really tasty.
The chili there served little purpose though.
Anyways, in my opinion, if you were to visit Mekong in Melbourne, just order the Beef Noodles as i think that the other food available there are just average only, a few online searches would further justify why i said so.
I guess the famous personalities was there just because of that single dish only. Cheers!

Roti Goreng Al Barkath
Jul 28th
Normally when you go to mamak, what do you order? Maggi Goreng or Mee Goreng? Perhaps the Nasi Goreng Pattaya or Nasi Lemak Ayam? As for me only fancy Nasi Lemak that is.
Well if you live around Manjalara area, you’ll know the existence of this Restoran Al Barkath which actually brings quite a lot of people together everyday especially over the weekends despite the lousy and slightly expensive prices. The bonus point of the mamak place is the atmosphere.
Anyways, few weeks back, i had this very dish, ROTI GORENG!
Imagine the Roti Kosong, Roti Canai? Now substitute it with the Maggi in Maggi Goreng or the Mee in Mee Goreng and you’ll get Roti Goreng!
No kidding, vegetables and egg along with onions and etc, the usual ingredients used in Maggi Goreng or Mee Goreng.
The thing is it was actually DELICIOUS!
Was introduced to this very unique dish a few years ago at this same exact mamak but i couldn’t really find this same dish elsewhere or perhaps i didn’t try hard enough to find it.
Do go try it if you’re around Manjalara!! xD
SharePan Mee at Pokemon Noodles House 小精灵板面之家
Jun 2nd
This very place which served the standard choices of noodles including Yee Mee, Kueh Teow, Bee Hoon and etc is one of the rare place that will still have lots of people around in its premises after lunch hours eg: 3PM.
One of the main reason this place is kinda “Famous” is because of its Pan Mee. Self made pan mee with a soup base which consist a decent numbers of ingredients is what i love most about this place.
Those Pan Mee lovers out there would know how to differentiate the different types of Pan Mee be it hand made or factory made and this specific one is pretty good.
The crispy anchovies with a fair amount of meat, mushroom and veggies made this simple bowl of Pan Mee a tad bit more awesome.
Oh and if you fancy spicy stuff, the “green sambal” is a great addition to the Pan Mee as well.
Check it out aite!

Awesome Ikan Bakar at Jalan Bedara, Bukit Bintang
May 31st
It was a last minute random lunch date with Andrew. Yeh, the person who went MIA from time to time. I brought him to this place in KL which is pretty nearby to my office then. A place which Chris Tock introduced a few months back and i’ve only been here for like 2 times only. =D
From Raja Chulan to Bukit Bintang, the area i’m working at is actually quite a food haven for the working group i think, but due to my habit of not frequenting lunch where i rather stay in office, i guessed i’ve missed out quite a lot of good food in the area.
So as you can see in the picture above, this stall which is located just behind Istana Hotel at Jalan Bedara Bukit Bintang actually serves a variety of Malaysian food. but of course, my main intention to have lunch here is because of its Ikan Bakar.
Though not as famous as another nearby Ikan Bakar stall, the Ikan Bakar served here is awesome to me! Ikan Pari, Ikan Kembung, Ikan Keli are among the few Ikan Bakar you could choose from.
The thing special about the Ikan Bakar served here is the sauce/kuah they add on along on a separate plate with the fish. Have no idea do other stalls have a similar sauce as the one here but if you are around the area and you have no idea on what to have for lunch, you can try this stall out. =)
I can’t seem to find a stall name for this place so if anyone of you knows about it please do tell me!! About on the exact location, please refer to the red dot below LOL. Paiseh!
