Thai Capella Doncaster
Their green curry is one of the most delicious things I’ve tasted before. It’s got a very nice kick and a great depth of flavour to it, especially with the slow cooked beef which melts right inside of your mouth. 10/10 would recommend, lovely food
Shark Fin Inn
Went there last Sunday, can confirm it is the best yumcha in Melbourne, or even the entire Australia. Went there 10 minutes before opening and there was already a long line.
The porridge is cooked very nicely, with the crisps on top adding an extra layer of texture; The meat and the egg doesn’t taste rancid at all. Super hearty and enjoyable.
The dumplings (prawn and crab) are also great. Love the lotus crunch inside of it, truly remarkable.
The Chinese broccoli - Don’t know how it was cooked, but this place managed to even cook the hard stem as crispy and crunchy. The leaf almost tastes sweet, with all the natural flavour packed. Remarkable
Lastly is the dessert. The osmanthus jelly cake would be better if it had a coconut milk base rather than a red bean one (way too overpowering imo), but still very nice and would recommend, looks pretty as displayed
Very busy place so expect minimal service, but for a restaurant the most important thing is the food, and they do their food GREAT.

Star Turn
If I could give this place a 10 stars out of 10 stars I would. Five stars is not enough to describe this restaurant, not only is the food top tier, portion great, awesome service that makes you feel at home, the price is also extremely fair
Now to describe the dish in details:
1) Matcha Latte
This restaurant definitely uses REAL matcha. Not some fake pre made matcha powder, this place uses matcha that tastes authentic and can make sugar level according to your personal preferences. No sugar tastes great but would recommend 1/2 sugar
2) Kimchi Fried Rice
This dish is so interesting. As shown on the photo, this dish is PACKED. Not like your typical kimchi fried rice, this has DEPTHS OF FLAVOUR and a variety of textures. The lotus chips are great, the fried cauliflower and broccoli tastes *CHEFS KISS*, there’s also sliced ham / peas / edamame mixed with the rice. The rice wasn’t greasy at all and could be really enjoyed
3) Tamagoyaki
Crazy presentation, tasted like nothing I’ve had before and I cannot really describe it. The wood ears under the egg seems to be cooked with gravy with has a drastic contrast when you eat it, it’s kind of crunchy and complements the soft egg nicely. Taste it for yourself
4) Toasties
Unlike other Toasties that I have eaten at other places, this thing does NOT fall apart when I eat it so I can really enjoy it. It’s not too greasy, but definitely very filling. The sauce is great, kinda like tomato with something I cannot really tell, but I really really enjoyed it and it was only 12 dollars!!!!
