    In Australia, we're very proud of our fresh seafood and local beef/lamb/kangaroo 👍
    Notice to tourists though, Australian spice heat levels are much higher than American levels!
    Because of our wonderful Asian Australian population we've got used to Asian spices 😁
    Authentic Asian flavours, Australian quality ingredients 👍

    Being Melbournian, I can confirm our actual "chinatown" is only one street, but basically the entire CBD is full of decent chinese restaurants. Quite a few of the places shown in Mike's video are not actually in chinatown proper, but around the CBD.
    Post edit: CBD herein is Central Business District, not cannabidiol 🤣

    The land was gifted to the people of Melbourne by Queen Victoria, hence the name. The fish market is one of the largest retail fish markets anywhere, the the zinc panelled deli area was built in the 1920's and is registered with our National Trust. The market is a living treasure for all of us.

    The fish he ate was called a Murray Codd, it’s a borderline endangered species here due to the introduction of the European Carp, so not a lot of places sell it and most of us Aussies will catch and release it, although they are well known for being amazingly beautiful to eat, and the Chocolate powder on his icecream is called Milo, is a chocolatey, Malty course powder that you can mix with milk and make a milkshake, make a hot Chocolate, it’s a Aussie favourite icecream topping, not exactly gourmet, but it’s Australian Nostalgia at at its finest and made me smile.
