    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před 3 lety

      Hahha it's easy to just eat in one bite because of the size and you can be bothered to tear the skin apart. Just need to be careful when it's hot! :D

    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před 3 lety

      Haha yeah vegetarian charsu is perfect for non-meat eater.
      The real charsu would be always better for meat eater like us haha.

    @PeterandYen Před 3 lety

    The China town in Melbourne looks great 👍 if we're there we'll definitely be hitting up that yum char spot. The custard tart y'all got looks pretty tasty too 😋 but yo the pineapple 🍍 bun is the star! Mmmmmm cheese foam is the greatest hahaha looks so good.

    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před 3 lety

      Chinatown in Melbourne is very iconic. I would say one of the best looking ones in Australia (only have been to few ones in other states though). The CNY decor makes it even prettier this year.
      Hahaha bubble tea with cheese foam is the best! 😍

  • @PuriandSue
    @PuriandSue Před 3 lety +1

    Sichuan house dishes look amazing. Fish flavoured eggplant sounds really interesting, always a fan of eggplants. AWwwwh Golden sand prawns!! Anything that says "Golden", can't say no to salted egg yolk! Probably Ony's spicy tolerance got better, need more spice for her next time :P

    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před 3 lety

      Hahah that's right, can't say no to salted egg yolk.
      Lol maybe I have better tolerance or their chilies were not just spicy enough this time haha.

  • @TravelInteresante
    @TravelInteresante Před 3 lety +1

    Lol damn the fish in the hot oil was screaming hot right off our screen, sad it wasn't quite as spicy though... Those prawns though... That would be our jam.

    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před 3 lety

      That's what we thought too when they served it in front of us, until they took out most of the dried chilies and we tried it and found it's not that spicy. I think they should keep the chilies in the bowl haha.
      Yup the sand prawns are really nice, good for non-spicy lovers 👍

  • @KimchiAndBeansVideos
    @KimchiAndBeansVideos Před 3 lety +1

    Those Shanghai noodles are right down our alley. Great spread with the dumplings. And that bakery looks dangerous. We've been looking for that pineapple bun here in Chicago. No luck yet.

I don't think I have ever tried chicken feet before. You guys ate a good variety. You guys hit so many places. The Stam Xao Long Bao are my favorite. Never had the prawn. You guys are really introducing me to different things on this episode.

    • @TwoHungryDiners
      @TwoHungryDiners  Před rokem

      Lol not including Westlake doesn’t mean we didn’t do research. Our research and experience eating yum cha in Melbourne didn’t give Westlake as top place for yum cha. There are better ones obviously in Melbourne in our opinion.
      We understand different people have different opinion and prefered places. This video simply to give our viewers our version of recommendations. Oh also we’ve lived in Melbourne for more than 15 years 🙃
