Van was fabulous! So passionate about oysters and her enthusiasm was infectious. It was such a great experience. Thanks for watching Lisa. Cheers, Sheena
@ChasingaPlate oh I thought I heard she was Ben didn't wanna be disrespectful hahahaaaa prolly why I called her grandna🤷♀️🤣 but her comment about how many kids and grandbabies because of oysters was hilarious
@@ChasingaPlate I've just discovered after decades of having a mobile phone and good maps, that you can save and pins stuff to google maps. Pinning this Oyster Bar.
😍😍😍 that’s so awesome to hear Sav- really want to keep it casual and fun so that’s brilliant feedback. You would have loved yum cha at this spot! Thanks for watching guys xxx
😂😂😂 I’m really out of practice! But thank you! Zadie is quite into yum cha which is awesome 🤩 thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Welcome back, we tried Yulongfu the other week, and were really quite impressed. Everything was good. I've also been seeing Muli Express across socials lately, so surely one to try. :)
Awesome to hear that you had a great meal at Yulongfu 😍 Would love to try more of their menu! Muli Express was a lot of fun and those oysters were top notch- I loved the experience. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
I haven’t been to the city for so long, a lot of new restaurants there. I should make an effort to go one weekend. Thank you for sharing and as always your video is in high quality and very pleasant to watch ❤
Thanks so much for the kind words! There are so many fabulous new restaurants that have popped up since our last visit- it’s exciting! Hope you can get in soon for a bit of an eating jaunt! Thanks for watching 💜 Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys loving this series and its only 90 mins from where I live. I haven't been in Melbourne dining for over 36 years when I went to university , I had better get out more , cheers Alister in Ballarat .
Hi Alister! So glad you’re enjoying the series mate. You definitely have to get to Melbourne for a bit of eating. We hear Ballarat has a great food scene- would love to get there one day soon! Thanks for watching this one. Cheers, Sheena
i .. i can't with this video... i just ... i can imagine the texture of that aubergine at the first restaurant. i bet it melted in the mouth and the meat had so much flavour ... my mind was ruuuunnniing !!! i just can't
Thanks so much Michael! The oyster bar was the highlight of our day of filming- Van’s enthusiasm was infectious. It was a really memorable eating experience. So happy you’re enjoying this series so far yay! Cheers, Sheena 😘😘😘
It’s been around for so long, they must be doing something right aye. It’s always a firm favourite. Don’t mind Gold Leaf either! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
@@DMSProduktions for some reason I had it in my head that Gold Leaf was somewhere else but of course it’s in Springvale 🤦🏻♀️ Yes! Wandered past the one in Preston the other day and wondered if it’s good too. Do you know?
@@ChasingaPlate NEVER tried it! Not GAME to with their prices! I still go to the little Viet places that charge reasonable prices, on my limited income/budget. But I know people that do go there, so I'd say it's pretty good, esp with those $1K banquets! LOL!
Oh my goodness guys! Everything looked so amazing! Is Thomas not a fan of oysters or did you just choose to focus on Sheena there? I hadn't realized Melbourne was the part of Australia you two had lived in the past... any chance we'll get to see your old haunts? Wasn't one of you a lawyer there? Also any chance you'd visit Perth? That's the corner of Australia I plan to visit and I'd love to know what you'd recommend...
For a minute I thought you'd said, "I didn't realise Melbourne was part of Australia"...... 🤣 After covid..... Australians wished they weren't part of Australia either. (Sorry Sheena.)
He loves them Jaci, but the place was so small that it was just easier for me to stay on camera 😄 we filmed some of our fave old haunts in the short series we did here a couple of years ago but it would be fun to do it again one day soon! And yes, I practised law here. Never been to Perth! Hope you enjoy this series Jaci 💜 Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😆😆😆 thank you for sharing that memory Arnold! SFI is such an institution- it’s always a fun experience I find. Thanks for watching this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
Wow, I honestly did not know that there are such fantastic places in my backyard, I used to work in the CBD and did not know this 😡😡. The best one that takes my heart is, your little daughter, she is so Beautiful, mine has grown up 😭😭😭. May God Bless you all. Thank you. Gary.
Thanks so much Gary! So glad you are enjoying our Melbourne series. We are so happy to be back and with the little one in tow. Hope you like what we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Good stuff. Must have taken some willpower to walk past Shanghai Street! Are you doing the 'burbs in Melbourne? Some amazing Vietnamese in Springvale and Doncaster is a great place for Malaysian food
😂😂😂 it did. But we went there for lunch today to satisfy the cravings 🤣 We filmed a couple of videos out in Footscray and got out to Box Hill. Would have LOVED to hit up Springvale and Doncaster but didn’t get a chance. Next time for sure! Thanks for watching Phil. Cheers, Sheena
Hey, Hoping you are still in Melbourne. I assume you've probably got restaurants planned. However if you don't, I would really encourage you to hunt out a restaurant called The Waiters Restaurant. It's been there for decades. I'm pretty fussy with food and it was hands down one of the best value meals I've had in a while. I honestly couldn't fault it. If you do lunch aim for a 1pm sitting when you book. If you do a 12pm sitting you'll be rushed out in an hour. It really is some of the best Italian food I've had in decades.
Hi Lizzy! Thanks for watching and for the recommendation. We’re leaving tomorrow 😝 I had forgotten about The Waiters Restaurant- it was one we always meant to visit but we never made it. Next time for sure! Great that you had an awesome experience there 💜 Cheers, Sheena
I’m originally from Wellington NZ,miss yum cha so much! Been living in Newy NSW Oz for over 20 years and Yum cha here is a joke……this is killing me watching you guys eat🥹😫
😝😝😝 I totally understand your yum cha cravings, I get them all the time- we live in the Far North and every time we’re in Auckland I make a beeline! You’ll have to get to Melbourne for a fix! Thanks for watching 💜 Cheers, Sheena
Two fingers tapping the table to say thankyou for the tea. Seriously elegant! But why no 'plate of guts' on the menu? A personal choice or a what works on UA-cam decision?
Thanks for watching Mark! Don’t mind a bit of offal- honestly don’t remember any coming around that morning, perhaps we missed it. We needed more people at the table so we could have ordered more! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I'm a regular! Do most of my grocery shopping there, as I live in Dandenong, and it is cheaper for me still to drive there, than to shop IN Dandenong!
Would have loved to have included Ling Nan but it’s a bit difficult to do night time dining at the moment with the baby 🤓 Def in the future! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
I wish I was more knowledgeable Cindy but I don’t have much experience unfortunately. My grandma used to cook loads of different tonics and health foods but unfortunately she has passed. Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
The only issue with Melbourne China Town restaurants that unless your Asian or white or with someone Asian they’ll play you off like they don’t have any space for you in there restaurant. They’ll tell you that you need to book in advance other than the fact that the person at the door are trying to attract customers walking on the road. Looking for any people of who have the same experience?
That baby is the BEST EVER!!! She was so mannerable and just chillin'!
🥰 she is a pretty chilled out character. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena

😍😍😍 that’s so awesome to hear Sav- really want to keep it casual and fun so that’s brilliant feedback. You would have loved yum cha at this spot! Thanks for watching guys xxx
That Yum Cha restaurant was the one my family went to when I was a child a very long ago. I do not remember how it taste seems like I need to return.
Sheena it's so lovely to hear you speak Chinese and to see your lovely / hungry daughter haha
😂😂😂 I’m really out of practice! But thank you! Zadie is quite into yum cha which is awesome 🤩 thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena

They were a great way to finish up. We haven't tried it no. Sounds great on a hot day! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas

The ol' SFI, was always a good 1.
Went few times to the SFI in Keysborough. Was always good!
