If you're looking from a change up from the regular brunch options, head to Kin. Kin serves up…read moreAsian fusion brunch. They have congee and they put onsen eggs in everything! The congee was interesting, but at $15 a bowl of boiled white rice, compared to less than $5 a bowl at every other Chinese restaurant, it's a bit steep. Tasted and looked good though. The onsen eggs on toast and salmon was okay, but tasted a bit too ordinary. I saw both the ex Masterchef contestants hard at work. I liked seeing that they were personally behind the food and care about delivering quality food to customers. Too often these days, a celebrity chef will leave the restaurant to run itself.

Well Kin is a bit like that but also in every way the opposite. Kin serves Asian-style cafe food, spanning Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Malaysian cuisines with some Australian cafe style food to boot. And somehow...it works! The salmon is out of this world - super tender but with a lovely charred surface. My money's on sous vide then blow torched. The accompanying spinach is a curious ball of umami and the onsen eggs have me leave poached eggs behind in the dust. The pho is incredibly rich yet delicate and the black sesame shake is grey like concrete, just the way black sesame anything should be. Despite not being a follower of My Kitchen Rules, I somehow still know of Shanelle and Uel. It's a delight to see them hard at work in the kitchen when we visit and even more so when we see them truly embodying their name, bantering with their staff and checking in to make sure they've eaten. It is clear that the food here is made with love. Kin, try as you may to keep me away with your terrible parking, puns and queues, but I will be back for the rest of the menu!

It's always full but not quite to the point where you have to wait. Always busy to the point where the servers feel obliged to hurriedly chuck the food on your table on their way to another, but also with a smile. Hahh. Sensitive souls need not be offended, they mean no harm. You'd be immune to this if you've been to deliciously rude Asian places anyway... ;) The food itself is delicious, hearty and good value. I strongly recommend the rice with 'assorted meats and seafood' - looks like leftover slop from yesterday but it's one of the most comforting foods you'll put in your mouth. The fried bean curd is crispy skin tofu with the topping specified on the menu. Light and crispy exterior contrasts the soft tofu insides. Yum! The szechuan chicken is flavoursome but lacks the spice one expects from szechuan foods! Most likely fixed with some chilli oil though. All in all, the variety and flavour of the dishes secured this place as my go-to for Chinese in Eastwood.

The place has really nice wood inspired decor, which makes the restaurant look new and clean. We ordered the spicy seafood tofu soup ($13), ox tendon soup ($13) and kimchi with pork belly soup ($13). Most Korean restaurants serve side dishes and they had 10 different side dishes! Awesome! The kimchi is very traditional, they added little shrimp to the spicy rub for that distant taste. The kimchi was a bit young (hasn't been marinated in the mix long enough for a strong flavour) but was edible. The soups were quite nice. They were rich in flavour and had plenty of seafood and tofu (though there wasn't a lot of pork belly). But are they the best I've ever had? Mmm maybe not. Still, it was good. The table next to ours had ordered the Ming bean pancake and it looked amazing - so I would try that one next time. The thing that gives this place an extra star was their service - nice and friendly!
