Great range of Asian snacks here - this taro sponge cake ($9.80) was very moist and the mochi was lovely and chewy but you can't really taste the taro.

Jokbal (braised pork hock) ($55) - aside from the usual lettuce and perilla leaves for wrapping, it also comes with a sweet/spicy (tastes like gochujang and sesame oil) salad of lettuce, green onions, onions and choy sum stems (?) - I think it's called geotjori, as well as a pile of plain white noodles. The pork hock is tender and gelatinous. Despite the brown colour, it's quite mild on soy/saltiness, so eat it with the saeujeot (salted shrimp sauce), ssamjang and geotjori.

All of their fried chicken ($35) is boneless, but it seems to be thigh meat so it's quite juicy with lots of dark meat. The soy garlic flavour is quite generic and on the sweet side, but tasty.

The beef bulgogi dolsot bibimbap ($22) - it has a good amount of toppings, although the rice is slightly wet and soggy.

Of the banchan, the sweet soy braised potatoes were my favourite - perfectly tender and flavourful. The kimchi was very raw and fresh and crunchy - I prefer it a bit more aged and tender.

Mediterranean deli/grocer with lots of dry/jarred goods as well as fresh baked sweets out the front, and a hot food bar inside.

Tried the takoh for $8.50 - it consists of coconut cream, gently sweetened sago with juicy young coconut bits and corn. Yum!

A lovely, cosy little Thai restaurant. It seems most of their business comes from takeaways, so the dine-in atmosphere is nice and quiet. Food and drink comes in generous portions - I particularly recommend the stir fried items - pad see ew (we added crispy pork belly) and Tom Yum fried rice were both full of wok hei and delicious. The beef massaman curry had generous hunks of slow-cooked beef. I probably wouldn't order the BBQ pork cheek again as it was quite tough and didn't taste like pork cheek, and the marinade was rather salty and it tasted stir-fried, not grilled/BBQ. I will say their food errs a little on the sweet side, however the portions are very generous and service is friendly and attentive. They gave us some chocolates at the end :)
