The Possum Shed ★★★★★ $$$

Possum Shed B.L.T @ $16.90 AUD

On your way to National Park, Possum Shed is a place you must visit. They not only serve great coffee but their food are remarkably delicious. A hidden gem with remarkable atmosphere and excellent food.

Sichuan House ★★ $$$

Spicy Cumin pork Ribs @ $21.80 AUD

This restaurant is within one of the alleys in China Town. The walkway is a little dodgy but many still come here for some Szechuan food. This place used to be my favourite place whenever I am looking for cheap and tasty Szechuan food. It was previously leased by Dainty Sichuan. However, Sichuan House has taken over and I'm here to find out whether its as good as the old one.

Carmelo's Wood Fired Pizza and Restaurant ★★★ $$$

Florentine Pizza @ $15.50 AUD (Large)

It is no big secret that Wood-fired pizzas are always better than pizzas cooked in conventional oven. This is due to the fact that wood-fired oven provides an environment where good pizza is made. In search for the best wood-fired pizza in Melbourne, we came to know of this restaurant and decided to give it a try.

Spice 9 Girl (辣九妹) ★★ $$$

Poached Fish served with Pickled Vegetable Soup @ $24.80 AUD

Spice 9 Girl is a newly opened Chinese restaurant in Carlton which is just opposite Lincoln Square. Serving Szechuan Cuisine at cheap prices and also big portions.

Bone & Pot (有骨气) Steamboat Restaurant @ SS2 ★★★★ $$$

Signature Pork Bone Broth @ RM 15

You can never miss Bone & Pot whenever you pass by Kelana Jaya Station as it has a huge and brightly lighted sign board. The restaurant's Chinese name is rather catchy as it means "person with high integrity" which also represents their Special Pork Bone Broth (for less confusion, one of the Chinese characters has the word bone, hence comes the bone broth). Bone & Pot serves quality food so you will expect to see a lot of homemade dishes rather than ordinary seafood and frozen meats which is quite common in other steamboat restaurants.

The Ming Room (城酒家) @ BSC ★★★ $$$

Chicken with Mango Cubes Pie @ RM 6

Ming Room is one of those Chinese restaurant offering fine dining experience at reasonable prices. It has been around for quite some time and is well known in BSC. They offer not only traditional Dim Sum but Dim Sum with a modern touch to it.

My Elephant @ Section 17 ★★★★ $$$

Plah Nung Manow @ RM 45

Malaysia has numerous Thai restaurants and My Elephant is definitely one of the good ones. It is getting popular in Petaling Jaya as they have a 2nd branch which is located just at Hartamas. However, looking for this place was rather difficult, especially at night as we were surprised to find it just below the flats of Happy Mansion. There can be doubts for first timers as the surroundings are rather dodgy but the silly thing is that good food in Malaysia are normally in dodgy areas.

Vintry ★★★★ $$$

Caramelised Roast Pork @ RM 18

 Vintry has always been my favourite place when its comes to delicious meaty savoury food. Offering fusion foods which not only satisfy local taste buds but also something out of the ordinary. With Pork as the main ingredient for most of their dishes. It's a place you shouldn't miss out.

Ciao Italia ★★★★ $$$

Veronese Pizza @ $25.50 AUD

Ciao Italia was opened since 1999 and started off as a Take Away restaurant. Due to its huge success since the opening day, the owner decided to do dine-in and now they are capable of holding up to 90 people. Highly recommended by my friend as he was raving about how good their pasta was.

Corica Pastries ★★★★ $$$

Whenever you are at Perth or visiting Perth, you must never miss out this spot. Corica is popular not only for their pastries but their famous Apple Strudel. A MUST MUST try whenever you are there.

Healthy Buddha Bar ★★★ $$$

Moroccan Spiced Lamb @ $19.50 AUD

After a hectic climb at Gloucester Tree, we stopped by here for lunch to charge ourselves up. Healthy Buddha Bar not only serves healthy food but delicious food as well.

Cafe Mazz ★ $$$

Chicken Breast with Dianne Sauce @ $22 AUD (Large)

We arrived at Pemberton at night. As there were not many restaurants around and the supermarket was closed,  we had dinner here which was also where we were staying for the night.

Settlers Tavern ★★ $$$

Tav Burger @ $11 AUD

On our next pit stop at Margaret River, we came upon this place as it was highly recommended by our landlady. Could tell that this place is an absolute favourite among the locals as the place is crowded for the whole night.

Goose Cafe Restaurant ★★★ $$$

Field Mushrooms, Poached Eggs, Spinach, Roma Tomato, Rocket Pesto & Balsamic Reduction @ $21.50 AUD

Before we headed on to Busselton Jetty. We had breakfast at Goose Cafe which is located near the jetty. The restaurant is spacious and the view is spectacular.

John Street Cafe ★★★★ $$$

The Lot @ $20 AUD

A place you shouldn't miss out when you are in Perth. John Street Cafe is located near Cottesloe Beach and they offer great breakfast. Highly recommended by my friend.

Hawker's Cuisine ★★★ $$$

Marmite Chicken @ $16 AUD

Finally, we landed safely at Perth. After four hours of flight all of us were starving so we had Malaysian food for supper. Hawker's Cuisine is popular among the locals and was highly recommended by my friend.

Kimchi Hut ★★ $$$

Octopus Ball (Takoyaki) @ $6.5 AUD

At the end of our trip, my friends and I decided to drive to Glen Waverly to try out something new. We stopped at Kimchi Hut as our first choice was closed for winter. There are not many Korean restaurants in Glen Waverly, Kimchi Hut is one of the popular ones here.

Kitchen Workshop ★★ $$$$

Stir Fried Vegetables with Chicken

 Crown was offering a special price for their buffet restaurants. Wouldn't miss out for such an opportunity so I went with a group of friends to try it out.

Emporio Della Pasta ★★ $$$

Crayfish with Garlic Butter Sauce @ $22.90 AUD

Crown was promoting their seafood offers so I came along with my friends to try it out. Always loved Lobsters and Crayfish are pretty similar to it. The offer was available in a few chosen restaurants and we decided on this restaurant as the outlook looks promising. 

Mamasita ★★★ $$$

de Cangrejo[Back] @ $15 AUD & de Carnitas[Front]  @ $14 AUD

Recently, Mamasita has been the talk of the town. Never tasted good Mexican food before, so would really like to try it out. The place was hard to spot but what made it easy was the queue outside. As they don't allow phone call reservations, I had to queue up to make reservation. Looking at the queue it brought up my expectation and I was hoping the 30 minutes wait was worth it.
