Great Eastern Hakka Restaurant

We came to this restaurant based on the name the Great Eastern Hakka Restaurant and the fact that…read moreit had one good review. Don't trust the one review! lol Anyway it is Mother's Day tomorrow and being Saturday as well most of the other Chinese restaurants were fully booked. We were surprised when we arrived to find no Chinese patrons and pizza on the menu and expected the worst. Why bother giving it a purely Chinese name if you serve pizzas and curry as well? Well the chefs are Chinese and that is something. Anyway the food isn't too bad as Chinese food in an Australian restaurant go. They were edible and the servings were generous. We didn't try any of the other types of food (Swedish pizza for example). The waitresses were courteous.

Sometimes you need to undertand the background of the owners and chefs before you open your mouth…read more Great Eastern Hakka is one of those places...where food has evolved with the owners. Ok let me explain...there is more to it than meets the eye. Great Eastern Hakka is run by an ethnic Chinese couple who hail from India! Chinese from India...yes yes! and they speak both Hindi and Chinese languages (don't believe me...go try it!). Anyway the owners moved from India and lived in Sweden for a while and now Melbourne is blessed.....so what's my point? Great Eastern Hakka is Chinese Indian food - its neither Chinese nor Indian....its something else!!! I am a great fan - love this place. And, they brought along Swedish Pizza with them that they serve at their restaurant. I love Swedish pizzas - yummmmm! I guarantee you will enjoy and have a great time. It's a little gem quietly tucked away.

The Craziness of this little restaurant can be seen from afar. After finding parking in the busy…read morePinewood shopping plaza, the Proud Peacock often has people waiting outside for a bite of fresh and authentic food. The restaurant isn't fancy looking, with signs hand written on all sizes of paper, a/c unit above the front entrance and picnic plastic tables on the inside. People don't seem to care. This place used to be located in Glen Waverley but after hearing a horror story I never went. The move seems to have revitalized the quality and flavour. They do lunch specials and last time I went I was surprised to find a lamington, small tart and blood oranges in my take away bag. I went again yesterday and the place was packed, we decided to sit outside in the cold and wait for a spot. Since it was so busy, we were forgotten outside so I had to go in and order, but honestly I don't expect 5 star service on a busy saturday lunch hour from 2 serving staff. We ordered: combination pad thai, combination spring rolls (half prawn, half pork), double pork chop with rice and my all time favourite salt and pepper tofu! For a huge meal with a box of leftovers, we spent $42 which we thought was very reasonable, the only thing I would change about this place would be for consistent service and better table placement. By the way, you can call up first to order which seems to be the trick as there are very limited spots to sit.

My first visit to Light Years was for breakfast; a delicious and unforgettable meal it was…read more The location was off the beaten path, it took me about 15-20 minutes walk from the nearest metro. I was wondering why such a popular spot would be so isolated? But all is well worth the effort to get here. The venue is brimming with natural lighting, classic charm and warmth. For my breakfast, I ordered the Pixelated avocado (on a sourdough toast) because it just looked so darn intriguing. I didn't expect anything else to be honest, and turned out this was GOOD!! Every single element in this dish has complex flavors that compliments each other. The chili dried air kale, diced pixelated avocado and the soft shell crab was especially stunning. The dish certainly performs to its Instagram ability. For my drink, I ordered their matcha latte; it was strong tasting yet smooth. I could drink this all day! The Light Years is certainly not disappointing in any way, from the beautiful venue to the outstanding food, supported with service and ambiance for days. Easily, my favorite brunch spot in town at the moment and much to recommend you :).

Went to Light Years for Sunday brunch and was relieved to find that, although very busy, the wait…read moretime was only a few minutes. Recently opened at the bottom of a new apartment block just along from the Camberwell tram depot, it should not be confused with Lights in the Attic cafe which is a bit further down Camberwell Road. The fit out is the now common scandi/minimalist affair with a smattering of potted greenery. Coffee is from Dukes, but the star of the show here is the food. All the dishes I saw coming out looked great and were good sized portions. I had the bircher and it was a generous serve, looked pretty and tasted even better. Overall a good value and tasty option for brunch/lunch in the leafy inner east.

Imperial Kingdom is a Classical Chinese Restaurant. So if the service is going to be negative, I…read moreexpect at least some good. The food here is quite solid but needs more flavour and expertise. Quite a loud, noisy ambiance and not the most best place in my book.

Imperial Kingdom is on the corner of Waverley Rd and Blackburn Rd, This building is an eyesore, old…read moreand worn out with faded letters and broken lights- at least it's easy to find. I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover. I come here pretty often for Yum Cha and I usually enjoy my time here. They offer majority of your traditional dim sums and carts frequently pass by (this can depend on where you're sitting though). This place offers relatively good food, it's nothing extraordinary that you would remember- but its definitely enjoyable and satisfactory. I've been here for dinner too, but I find their Yum Cha to be better. It's not that their dinner is bad, it's just that it quite standard and average. In a suburb where one can find ample Chinese restaurants, average sometimes just isn't good enough. That said, if you have a large group- then this place could easily accommodate you. It has a large dining area with big round dining tables at the back. Overall I would suggest Imperial Kingdom only if it is local to you, I wouldn't go out of way to eat here- but if I'm in the area, I'm more than happy to.
