Is Steer Dining Room worth the hype?🥩

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 
📍Ground/15 Claremont St, South Yarra VIC 3141

If you’re looking for a premium steakhouse experience in Melbourne, Steer Dining Room is one to keep in mind📌
We tried two different Wagyu steaks, along with a couple of entrees, sides and desserts.

【🐟 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐨 ($𝟑𝟖)】 
🌟Fresh and delicate kingfish with persimmon, grapefruit and a green chilli dressing. The citrusy flavours added a nice freshness to start the meal.

【🥩 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐞 ($𝟑𝟖)】 
🌟Australian Full Blood Wagyu with black truffle, oyster emulsion, black garlic and saltbush. Mixed tableside, which made it a fun little dinner-time performance.

【🥩 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐑𝐢𝐛 𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝟗+ ($𝟑𝟑𝟓)】 
🌟700g of rich, buttery Wagyu with an incredibly tender texture. The kind of steak that almost melts in your mouth.

【🥩 𝐃𝐫𝐲-𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝟗+ ($𝟐𝟖𝟎)】 
🌟Sher Full Blood Ballan VIC, dry-aged for 45 days. More developed and layered in flavour, with subtle earthy and mushroom-like notes. A completely different steak experience.

【🍟 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 ($𝟏𝟔)】 
🌟Super crispy and well seasoned, and a great side to have with the steak.

For dessert, we tried the Dark Chocolate Crémeux, Pumpkin Cheesecake Brûlée Tart and Hojicha Cake. All were a nice way to finish, but the Pumpkin Cheesecake Brûlée Tart was our favourite, especially for its creamy texture✨

The service was attentive and welcoming, and we loved that the team took the time to explain the steak origins and differences. They also offer birthday celebrations with a candle, birthday song, and a personalised plate🎶🎂

The whole experience is definitely on the pricier side, but if you’re a steak lover or planning for a special occasion, Steer Dining Room would be your go-to option🥩✨

Save this for your next steak night in Melbourne🇦🇺

【🧋 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗧𝗲𝗮 (𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱) ($𝟲.𝟱)】

【🥗 𝗟𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱】
🌟 We got lucky visiting on their Grand Opening Day and were treated to a free lobster salad!
🌟 It was fresh and creamy, and tasted exactly like the ones you’d find in a classic HK Cha Chaan Teng – such a nostalgic treat!

The ambience of this newly opened Hong Kong cafe was cosy and comfortable. We liked the painting of Victoria Harbour on the wall, which made us feel like home

All the food here didn’t just taste good; it looked amazing, too! 

We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! If you’re a fan of HK Cantonese cuisine, this spot should definitely be on your to-go list!

🎉Check out this 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 chicken paitan ramen store in Melbourne CBD!✨🍜

𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗶 𝗡𝗼 𝗞𝗲𝗶𝗷𝗶
📍25 Market Lane, Melbourne CBD

Tori no Keiji is an award-winning ramen store from Osaka🇯🇵, specialising in authentic chicken ramen with 100% Halal-friendly chicken broth😆

【🍜𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘆𝘂 ($𝟭𝟵.𝟴𝟬)】
🌟The tori paitan broth was rich, creamy and silky-smooth, with a deep chicken flavour🐔 
🌟It had that comforting taste that reminded us of ramen in Japan, and we could happily finish the whole bowl of soup🌸⛩️

【🍜𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝗼 ($𝟮𝟰)】
🌟If you love truffle, this one is worth checking out. White truffle oil and black truffle give the creamy chicken broth a rich, aromatic umami flavour without taking away from the chicken base🍄‍🟫✨

【🍵𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗮 ($𝟮𝟯)】
🌟Our first time trying matcha ramen! The broth had a subtle earthy bitterness and lingering matcha aroma, with a lighter savoury profile compared with the other two bowls🫶🏻

Across all three bowls, we really enjoyed the chicken paitan broth and the slow-cooked chicken chashu, which was tender and succulent🔥
The locally crafted noodles were another highlight🥢They had a firm, chewy texture with a satisfying bite, while still holding onto the creamy broth really well🍜

【🥟𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬 / 𝟰 𝗽𝗰𝘀)】
🌟Crispy and juicy with a slightly thicker skin, almost like Japanese-style potstickers. A nice side to have alongside the ramen👍

【🍗𝗞𝗲𝗶𝗷𝗶’𝘀 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬)】
🌟Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Simple, satisfying and easy to pair with the ramen!

【🍵𝗞𝘆𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲 ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬)】
【🍹𝗬𝘂𝘇𝘂 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 (𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰) ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬)】

If you’re looking for a creamy chicken ramen that’s a little different from the usual pork-based bowls, check out the Tori no Keiji‼️🍜

🇯🇵A creative Japanese-inspired 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 spot🍣🍳

𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲
 📍33 Ambrose Ave, Cheltenham VIC 3192

If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual brunch, Sana Coffee has an interesting Japanese-inspired menu with plenty of creative combinations⛩️💡

【🦆𝗗𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶 ($𝟯𝟮)】
🌟This was our favourite of the day! It was a September special, featuring seared duck breast, duck tare, pickled ginger, salmon trout caviar and cured egg yolk🐟
🌟The duck was tender and nicely seared, but what really stood out to us was the duck tare. It was savoury and full of flavour, and honestly made us want more rice just to soak up the sauce😋

【🌮𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗶 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗼𝘀 ($𝟮𝟲)】
🌟The tempura nori shells were super crispy, paired with fresh salmon sashimi, pickled & fried shallots, chilli mayo, guacamole and fish caviar🍤
🌟We especially liked this combination as it had plenty of texture and flavour in every bite🔥

【🍳𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁】
🌟We were a little surprised to see an ajitama egg instead of the usual poached egg on a Benedict, but it actually worked really well with the tuna poke and the other Japanese-inspired flavours🤤 The combination felt fresh and refreshing, making it a nice option to start the morning!✨

【🍋𝗟𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 & 𝗬𝘂𝘇𝘂 𝗖𝗿𝗲̀𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝘂̂𝗹𝗲́𝗲 ($𝟭𝟮)】
🌟A beautiful weekend dessert with a creamy texture and a lovely citrusy flavour. We liked that it wasn’t overly sweet, especially with the seasonal berries☁️

【🍵𝗛𝗼𝗷𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮 𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂】
🌟This had a noticeably strong coffee flavour. We personally found the coffee came through much more than the hojicha, so the hojicha flavour was quite subtle☕

【🍵𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗮 ($𝟭𝟬.𝟱𝟬)】
【☕𝗛𝗼𝗷𝗶-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗢𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 ($𝟭𝟬.𝟱𝟬)】

If you’re around Melbourne’s south-east and looking for a brunch with something different, this one is worth adding to your list. Save this for your next brunch in Cheltenham!📌

Looking for a 𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 that’s a little different from the usual?🍜

𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱
📍322 Smith St, Collingwood

Snow Monkey Ramen has opened a new branch in Collingwood for those who are looking to try something beyond the usual ramen flavours🌈We tried two ramen dishes, and both had a pretty unique twist on the traditional ramen style😆

【🦞𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 (M) $39.80】
🌟This was our favourite of the night. The French-inspired lobster bisque broth was bold, creamy and full of flavour, topped with grilled Western Australian lobster, house-made tomato pesto and mozzarella🧀
🌟The lobster itself was nicely firm and succulent, and we really enjoyed how the French-style bisque worked with the Japanese ramen🦞It’s probably not your everyday bowl of ramen, so we’d recommend this one if you want to try something a little different😉

【🍖𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝗯 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 $38.80】
🌟The slow-cooked short rib was the highlight for us here. The piece was really generous in size and so tender that it practically fell off the bone🦴‼️
🌟The shoyu broth was much lighter and not too salty, which worked nicely with the richer short rib. If you’re more of a beef person, this would be a good one to try🔥

【🥟𝗚𝘆𝗼𝘇𝗮 $12.50】
 A classic side to have with your ramen.

【🍢𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝗧𝗼𝗳𝘂 $9.80】
 A light option to share alongside the richer dishes.

【🍗𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝘀𝘂 $13.50】
🌟Our favourite side! Super crispy on the outside, and we really liked the sauce drizzled over the top🤤

The Collingwood location is also really convenient, just around a 5-minute walk from the Route 86 tram stop on Smith St🚃
Overall, if you’re bored of the usual tonkotsu or shoyu ramen and want to try something more creative, Snow Monkey Ramen Collingwood is a fun one to keep in mind🍜🦞

Finding a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 in the cold weather⁉️🐔🍲

The 𝗤𝗤 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘁 (aka 𝗤𝗤雞煲) in Glen Waverley is the perfect spot for a warm dinner in this Melbourne weather🍃✨ Enjoy the chicken pot first, then turn the remaining broth into hotpot for a two-in-one meal!🍲

𝗤𝗤 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗻
📍Shop 006/235 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley VIC 3150

【🐔𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘁 ($𝟰𝟱)】 
🌟We went for the bone-in chicken, which was still tender and juicy.
🌟The chicken had a subtle wok-hei aroma, with a savoury, slightly sweet and mildly spicy flavour🔥
🌟The seasoning was just right for us, so it was easy to keep going back for another piece😋

Once we were almost done with the chicken, we asked the staff to add the broth and turned it into hotpot🥘

【🍲𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗱-𝗼𝗻𝘀】
• Mixed Ball Platter $14
• Frozen Tofu $6
• Veg & Mushroom Platter $14
• Sliced Beef $9
• Potato Noodles $5
🌟The frozen tofu soaked up all that broth really well, and sliced beef is definitely one of those hotpot add-ons we always like to have🥢
🌟You can also head to the self-serve sauce station and mix your own dipping sauce to go with everything.

【🥖𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘂 ($𝟲)】 
🌟We got this as a little snack on the side, and it actually made a pretty nice ending to the meal😆
🌟Crispy on the outside without feeling too greasy, and even better dipped in condensed milk🥫

Overall, chicken pot + hotpot in one meal makes this a fun option when you’re dining with a bigger group, especially on a cold day🐔🍲You can start with the rich chicken pot, then slowly add your favourite hotpot ingredients and keep the meal going!

【🍚𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝟮 ($𝟭𝟵.𝟱𝟬)】
🌟We chose BBQ Char Siu Pork + Braised Pork to go with the chicken rice.
🌟The chicken rice had a nice savoury flavour, with a sweet and savoury sauce on top🍗 
🌟It was slightly on the saltier side for us, but adding some chilli helped balance the flavours🌶️
🌟You can also add chilli and chicken soup on the side for free, which was a nice little extra with the rice🍲

【🍗𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝘀𝗮 ($𝟭𝟲.𝟵𝟬)】
🌟One of their newer additions, with a classic laksa flavour where you can taste the coconut milk😆
🌟The chicken was tender and the broth was hearty, making this a comforting option for a quick lunch✨

【🍜𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗺𝗶 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝟮】
🌟We went with their traditional noodles, which are made in-house, paired with Grilled Chicken + Soy Chicken Mushroom🍄‍🟫
🌟The noodles were chewy with just the right thickness, and they picked up the sweet and savoury sauce really nicely🥢The chicken was also tender!🔥

【🧋𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗧𝗲𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 ($𝟱)】
【🍋𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗮 ($𝟰.𝟱)】
🌟Both drinks were on the sweeter side, but the sweetness paired quite well with the savoury and chilli flavours from the food👍
