It is without a doubt that Red House Asian Kitchen's various menu offers a delicate, authentic and…read morestunning experience. I have been going to Red House for 7 years and it has by far submitted it's place as my favourite restaurant. Red House has very attentive service which will always come to your needs; completing any task. Even though they may not 100% always come first time. It just shows that they are always busy. Furthermore, Red House has extremely delicious food. My favourites include: secret combination fried rice, stir fry noodle (炒面), crispy roast pork, roast duck and barbecue pork. I also enjoy their tofu with mixed vegetables. Their lunch deals such as minced beef with rice and egg yolk is a classic favourite. Another lunch one is fish with corn and rice. Other great meals are king prawn with egg, various mud crabs they offer. Lastly even thought Red House has changed ownership it still stands as my favourite restaurant to eat with family and friends or when I am simply hungry: I can always look forward to a delicious meal at Red House.

Disclaimer: I can count on one hand the number of times I've had Malaysian/Singaporean food. With…read morethat said, I did try a couple of places while on vacation with my husband and we both liked Killiney Kopitiam better than some of the other places we tried. They are located in Little Italy if you don't want Italian food, and they offer good lunch sets. We got nasi lemak with beef rendang and fried chicken + a drink for $16 AUD. The rice here is so fragrant and delicious! The fried chicken was solid, but I'm not a huge fried chicken person. The beef rendang was tender and the milk tea was strong. Service was fast and efficient, so no complaints there. You'll get in and out pretty fast during lunch. They have a pretty big menu at reasonable prices, so give this a try if you're in the area!

So when a planned visit to Mamak in the city ended up being a rerouted trip to Killiney Kopitiam on…read moreLygon Street, I was a little disappointed. Killiney is another non-Italian option on the Italian dominated Lygon Street. They also have great hawker food options at competitive prices, and our whole table decided to try a range of the menu but let's get to the real news: The Nasi Lemak options! I was almost in Nasi Lemak heaven..... --------------------- Nasi Lemak with Egg and Ikan Bilis Nasi Lemak with Fried Tofu (Vegetarian) Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken Nasi Lemak with Fried Fish Nasi Lemak with Rendang Beef Nasi Lemak Complete A (Fish & Curry Chicken) Coconut Rice served with egg, deep fried fish, curry chicken, sambal chilli, fried anchovies, peanut and sliced cucumber. Nasi Lemak Complete B (Fried Chicken & Beef Rendang) Coconut rice served with egg, fried chicken and beef rendang, sambal chilli, fried anchovies, peanut and sliced cucumber. ------------------- We went for the Nasi Lemak Complete B, which was definitely a great option considering it had two protein options. I would love to come back and try the fried fish and curry chicken. Coconut rice was pretty good, not overpowered but with a nice hint of coconut. The egg was a nice hard boiled egg, split in to two which is how you will see Nasi Lemak served in many places. The Fried Chicken had a very nice flavour and was super crispy on the outside. The beef rendang unfortunately was not that great and the beef was very tough! The anchovies, sambal and other condiments were spot on! The speciality which is the Kaya Toast was definitely a surprise to me, my in laws assure me that is authentic to how Singapore serves it. With big chunks of butter in the middle! The butter for me was overkill but the Kaya was brilliant. Look forward to coming back and trying something else.

Staff was friendly , the place looks luxurious. Anyway, would come back whenever I want yumcha. We had 3 people and the bill was 120. I tried again another day for dinner, everything was so tasty: pickle fish soup, salted egg prawn, peking duck

4.2. Very impressive. Not perfect but very very good…read more The most important thing. The food here is superb. Probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. We had a party of 9 and had a range of dishes. Every single dish was excellent. In order they were sweet and sour pork ribs, kong pao chicken, kong pao prawns, ma po tofu with beef mince, dry stir fried beans, fish flavoured eggplant and sweet and sour cabbage. Every single dish was fantastic. I loved them all and so did the whole table. If I had to pick a favourite it'd be a curious one. The cabbage was utterly magnificent. Cooked and flavoured so perfectly it was ridiculous. Service was up and down on the night. It was not good at the start. No one attending to us. Single dishes then delivered with significant intervals. No rice either. It made for a chequered and slightly awkward start. It was rectified in time but it shouldn't have happened at a restaurant of this quality. On the upside again, the cost of the meal was very modest at $33 a head. Exceptional value actually. We brought two of our own wines which helped the bottom line. What a great thing to be allowed to do. Overall I loved the place and would return in a heartbeat.

I work in the area and stumbled upon this place on its opening night last year…read more From the get go, this place is bustling with the locals coming both fit a find in experience and take away. To me it's the best dumpling place in the area with a reasonable selection of dumplings, meat and vegetarian options, this place has something for everyone. Favourites include the shao long Bao, and the fried eggplant pie with pork filling. It's something a bit different but worth a try. If you're a local looking for good inexpensive dinner or you are after a quick bite after shopping at the factory outlets, this is the place to go for a good feed at a very reasonable price.

Delightful dumplings! I always go to Shanghai Street…read moreDumplings when I visit Melbourne. The dumplings and noodles are delicious, tasty and very reasonably priced.

Fancy some pepper hallucinations? Enter Dainty Sichuan…read more This joint, unlike the other two - only serves hotpot. You get your own little pot to cooke whatever you want. There are various options for your stock base, you even get to have half and half. So if you are daring, try the spicy soup. There's an extra spicy soup... but I don't even want to know what that tastes like. If you want to enjoy your dinner however, I just go for the mushroom soup base or seafood base and then add chilli to it as I desire. There have a 'sauce' station with about 20 different types of chilli from just the standard Sichuan Chilli to Beef Chilli? They've got garnishes such as coriander, spring onions etc etc... They even have MSG?! It's not the cheapest, but dishes do come out quite well presented and are quite large. I normally get a couple of beed dishes, some veggies (Pak Choy/Chinese CabbageOther greens that have Choy in the name) and mushrooms. Also, try the potato noodles. It doesn't have much of a taste on its own, but cook it in the soup and it's yum... They have an order sheet where you tick what you'd like. Don't worry - they also have a menu with picture explaining everything. Very helpful. Especially since NO ONE really speaks english. Be prepared to leave extrememly full and with a burnt tongue.

My wife loves this place and it is definitely a hit when it is so cold outside. My favourite is definitely mixing the sauces and using that to flavour the hotpot soup or provide some amazing taste to your rice. Try the beef sauce with coriander and peanuts yum!
