The ramen joint that never fails to deliver. 🍜 @hakatagensuke let's you choose your toppings, the hardness of your noodles and a variety of sides to match. 🙌 We recommend: 🥟 Gyoza: the perfect starter to the meal 🍗 Golden brown fried chicken if you're feeling a bit naughty (pieces are large so make sure you're hungry!) 🍜 Black tori ramen - a creamy chicken broth with fried garlic and black sesame paste 🔥 God fire ramen if you're into your spice. The OG Chicken broth with a secret blend of 'spicy fire' - you can alter the spicy-ness to your liking #eatxwander

✳️ DARI Korean Cafe ✳️ Had so much fun visiting @darikoreancafe which specialises in Korean Fusion food & beverage. Everything we tried was new to us and it was so fun trying new flavours! Our favourite? The beef bulgogi burger! Delicious and juicy traditional Korean beef on a soft milk bun and doesn't leave you feeling heavy at the end of the meal 🤤 The Su Jung Gwa Spritz was also a lovely light fizzy drink - similar to a ginger beer and grew on us! 🥃 #eatxwander

☁️ A sweet tooth's dream ☁️ We were invited by @qvmelbourne as a part of their #qvtaste campaign and got match with @aquas_au & were so excited as we had never tried their signature sea salt soft serve! 🎥🎟️ We picked the "Take Me To The Movies" which has your choice of soft serve - we picked sea salt and red velvet (SO YUM) topped with caramel popcorn, toasted marshmallows and surrounded by a cloud of raspberry fairy floss. 💕 So good! This is definitely one to share with friends! The soft serve is so smooth and creamy we'll definitely be coming back for more 🤤😍 #eatxwander

Aren't these iced chocolates & iced mochas mouthwatering? 🤤🤤 - We headed into the fairly new @laurentbakery in Kew and boy it was such a gorgeous space! - We had a lovely lunch of chicken avocado mayo focaccias and a roast veggie tart with an amazing melt in your mouth pastry. - How can we go to Lauren and not have any dessert!

Transported back to Japan thanks to @qvmelbourne 🤤🥰 We absolutely love Japan, it's culture and food! And we're so excited when QV asked us to to join their #QVtaste #partner campaign and hand picked for us to visit @ippudo.au in Artemis lane. We love ramen and have it super frequently but loved how Ippudo had so many other smaller dishes that was perfect for sharing! - What we had: 🥩 Wagyu tataki - 🍠 Japanese yam fries - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside a great switch up to your regular fries with a side of mayo dipping sauce - 🍣 Seared salmon sushi roll - creamy soft & so delicious! - 🥟 Pan fried pork gyoza (dumplings) a great staple - 🍆 Nasu dengaku - fried eggplant with dengaku sauce - SO saucy and tasty - 🍜 Spicy Tonkotsu Karaka Special - Ippudo's original Tonkotsu broth with special spicy ground pork miso and we got ALL the extras: seaweed, egg, bamboo 🤤

It's 🍕 PIZZA 🍕 time! We recently checked out @piccolino3068 ! A local pizza and gnocchi bar in Fitzroy North serving SUPER authentic dishes with really good quality ingredients. You'll hear them shouting orders in Italian to each other, the vibe is family friendly and fun ☀️🙌 What we loved ❤️: Antipasti: - Warmed marinated olives - Torta al testo with prosciutto and mozzarella - Suppli (Italian rice ball) with bolognese served w a side of garlic aioli - Mains: 🍕 The pizza obviously! Our favorite is the capriccosa with amazing fresh basil & mozzarella - 🍝 House made ricotta gnocchi w sautéed truffle mushroom. The gnocchi was SO soft and pillowy 😍 and who can resist truffle anything?!? - 🍝 The Tagliatelle with fresh salmon, a touch of cream & chopped parsley was also very delicious 👌👌 Can't wait to come back to try more of their pizzas 😍😍

🇲🇾 Passage through Malaysia 🇲🇾 It's a Malaysian feast! 🥳 . @passage_thru_malaysia have just released their NEW MENU 😋 This Malaysian owned restaurant has all the Malaysian classics: chicken curry, nasi lemak, beef rendang (absolutely delicious), laksa and so much more! If you're feeling adventurous try out their popular tapas like the roti chicken roll. 😍 We also loved the ManTao buns - crispy and golden on the outside, fluffy inside and slightly sweet, makes it a perfect pairing with any curry. 🍸🍹They also have a great list of mocktails, cocktails (we love the lychee based ones) and traditional drinks like teh tarik (Malaysian milk tea), something to suit anyone and any occasion. The restaurant is decked out in cute Malaysian decor to give it an awesome vibe and they have a function room that can hold a private birthday or celebration too. . As a fellow Malaysian I can safely say that their menu is legit and will definitely be coming back 😻 #passagethrumalaysia #eatxwander

Victoria St is the home to some of Melbourne's most authentic Vietnamese food, so it's a fitting place for @minhminhsaigonsoul Featuring a fusion of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, we found something for everyone. What we had: 🐔 Sweet & aromatic fried chicken 🍃 Street food style betel leaf wrapped beef 🥩 However, the standout was a sizzling beef dish, aptly named 'The Sexy Chef'. Plated up in a literal bowl of flames, this was a undeniably modern twist on a traditional dish. Definitely recommend for a family friendly feed if you're in Richmond/Abbotsford 👍

DON'T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS, HUN We popped by @obun_melbourne to try out their selection of baos and damn they did not disappoint! What we had: 🦀 Soft shell crab bao 🥩 Pork belly bao 🍗 Fried chicken bao 🥩 BBQ pork bao 🍴 Tofu bao 🧀 Loaded bao with cheese sauce and bacon 🥛 Fried dessert bao with condensed milk and ice cream 😍 Our favorites were the crab, pork and chicken buns. Loved the fluffy buns, generous meat and delicious accompanying sauces. Surprisingly filling and perfect for lunch!
