Thanh Nga Nine Vietnamese Restaurant
Open 7 Days
10am to 10pm
160 Victoria Street Richmond VIC 3121
Tel: 9427 7068
Dropped by Richmond for some good Vietnamese food and saw this restaurant packed full of people so we decided to try it out.
I tried Rice + Combination dish (included pork chop - love my pork chops) and Karen tried her usually Vermicelli + Spring rolls combo.
First thing I noticed was the dishes were very colourful, lots of veges, Vietnamese restaurants are usually supply minimal veges so that was great. Both dishes also tasted great, everything was very fresh and flavours were just right (not too strong or too light). Looking forward to going back and trying out the Pho.

Hwaro Korean BBQ
Shop 1/ 562 Little Bourke St,
Melbourne 3000
Tel: 03 9642 5696
Went here from Jenny, Ozona, Nader and Karen the other day. Gotta love the charcoal cooked Korean BBQ with the massive suction kits (sounds like a car part) to suck in all the smoke. As we had one more person coming than expected, we had to get a table with a suction kit that wasn't sucking 100%. Oh well, it sort of did its job in the end. We selected a mixture of marinated and non marinated meats to share between the 5 of us.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, my charcoal cooking talent wasn't. Luckily, the waitresses were very keen to show off their cooking skills and always jumped in to help. The food was delicious, making use of my new ranking system. I would rate it as follows, wonder if this rating system is copyright protected...

Chilli Padi
This restaurant is basically an asian food joint with Thai, Malaysian, Japanese and other food similar to my dad's restaurant. Went here with the ECC folks before some bowling action at Kingpin and tried the Malaysian platter which consisted of (copy and paste) "satay chicken,rendang curry chic, samball eggs achat and coconut rice".
It turned out to be a huge dish, probably double of everyone elses on the table. However, it didn't really taste that great. Wasn't missing the bite of the spices I expected from a Malaysian cuisine. The dish was also $26, wouldn't pay for this dish ever again.
Chilli Express
Great selection of foods for lunch all around $8. Wasn't express to me, line was long and Green Curry + Rice + sald took a few minutes to come out. Had my first bite only to find an icy chicken that was not heated up properly. Good old last night cooked, quick microwave restaurant methodology. When it was heated up, it was not bad, not truly authentic green curry like Karen and I made in Thailand but good value for money.
Chilli Malam
Haven't been but saw the advertisement. Great for late night hunger.
Open
Wed 10:30PM to 3AM
Thurs - Fri 10:30PM to 5AM.
Might check it out if I get hungry at now, but I don't really expect anything great from my experiences so far.
