Text of the page (random words):
ny incarnations in the twenty odd years that i have been an irregular patron in the eighties it was a trendy yuppie pub popular with the marketing crowd then it became a party pub eventually a retro party pub playing music from the yuppie era when eighties parties came into vogue and then for a time a serious wine pub for the last few years it has been a gourmet traveller and good food guide vaunted greek restaurant and bar surviving two different ownerships and then port melbourne changed the restaurant got increasingly quiet and even enticements to the greek community such as live basouki music failed to draw them in a nearby greek restaurant that had also once drawn big crowds at a sister venue in swan street richmond also felt the pinch and moved their focus to a generic european offering serving cheese degustations breakfast coffees and a deli selling pre made take home meals the elderly greek community began to die out and their children took advantage of sky rocketing property prices to sell the down at the heel port melbourne family homes that had nurtured them since geting off the boat at station pier i suppose many built mc mansions in oakleigh and with the move the local demand for greek food was ably sated by old man stavros plate smashing institution in albert park the rose was regularly empty and eventually sold the owners moved to south melbourne to sell pizzas the first i heard of the new regime at the venue came in the form of a flyer from rose bar pizza also touting gourmet pizza albeit with a cleanskin bottle shop not another pizza venue i said to mr sticky we already have eleven pizza joints within walking distance of home how will they survive but we were sufficiently enticed to try it being at the end of our street and because i wanted try italian sausage pizza with caramelised onions roast pumpkin gorgonzola rocket pine nut pizza along with prawn chilli saganaki lemon rocket pizza we did not regret it essentially the menu here is the same as banff s because the former chef is now at the port melbourne venue since her departure i ve noticed that the food in st kilda is less reliable and so our moving our group s lunch to port melbourne was a sound one as one of my locals their offer of a selection of 10 excellent gourmet pizzas at 5 50 for lunch monday to friday and on monday tuesday nights is hard to go past and i love that this is further proof that you can get gourmet grub that beats maccas for value at rose bar pizza as it is now known the pizzas are midsized and thin based with a generous serve of quality toppings there s no bulk bags of commercially grated cheese or ham of dubious origins here each pizza is flavoursome with the right amount of crunch and chewiness i can also recommend their salads the potato saganaki and rosemary pizza chorizo artichokes cherry tomato and olive pizza moroccan lamb with mint yoghurt and za atar pizza and the velvety macaroni cheese which arrives in a miniature paella pan as a chick i never seem to be able to finish the pizza on my own so although tempted i have yet to try the chocolate cherry ice cream pizza or the apple crumble custard version given that they have happy hour from 3 6pm every day i may just have to slide down there for afternoon tea like banff they also serve the delicious frothies made by bearings brewery in geelong at 2 50 a pot so today at lunch the boys enjoyed a meal for 10 50 including a couple of beers a couple of them tried the tasting tray at the bar to sample which cleanskin they fancied quaffing and a good time was had by all in this large modern yet comfortable room with it s long marble topped communal space and walls festooned with art and customised pizza boxes decorated by regulars time slipped away quickly in such convivial surrounds i left clutching a box of my leftover pizza and a takeaway so that my beloved did not miss out as i walked home to work again overlooking my garden i counted my

on the first day of the first moon of the lunar calendar the corresponding date in the solar calendar varies from as early as january 21st to as late as february 19th chinese new year traditionally signifies turning over a new leaf to celebrate getting through the past year to then put the past behind you as look optimistically into the future socially it is a time for family reunions and for visiting friends and relatives this holiday more than any other chinese holiday stresses the importance of family ties the chinese new year s eve dinner gathering is the most important family occasion of the year in the days to come the new year is ushered in with a succession of family feasts and the gathering of friends i am the first to admit that the hong kong chinese side of my family is eccentric lunar new year is our big annual celebration which usually nullifies christmas and birthdays but this year it passed as more of a whimper we did not hook up with my parents until the fifth day of the year of the rat as they were busy with friends and dad decided when we did celebrate we d be eating malaysian food here goes nothing i thought but i was wrong my parents are mad keen tai chi enthusiasts and dad is rapidly becoming a born again buddhist go figure after many years of practice my grandfather had reached such a high level of tai chi expertise that he could apparently bring on a self induced coma when he was unwell in order to recover i suspect my father is aiming to tread the same path and is seeking buddhist enlightenment so he has immersed himself in the culture with a group of like minded retirees enter into the picture a buddhist who according to his friends is quite enlightened and who magnificently toppled a battle with cancer this man also happens to be a gifted baba malay chinese chef hailing from kuala lumpur his name is bill and he met my parents at their tai chi group so last night mr stickyfingers and i beat a path to the unknown reaches of heidelberg heights getting a little lost enroute to bill s unpretentious little venue had we not stopped at the traffic lights outside we would have missed the place entirely as it happened i noticed another malaysian restaurant next door that had a roller door firmly shut over the facade and instantly presumed the owners must have gone back to the old country for a holiday and then my eyes moved across to jade kingdom bingo we were greeted by my parents inside with cries of kung hei fat choy and were introduced to bill the owner and occasional chef of jade kingdom resplendent in a blue batik shirt he was fit and tanned this is not the first of his ventures my parents recall that they were also regulars at his place in springvale road glen waverley years before they met him in a sea of wood grain veneer melamine and vinyl a chinese dragon puppet sat decorously in a corner gaudy modern chinese paper decorations were festively suspended from the ceiling at our table my folks were snacking on achar spicy pickled vegetables and candied walnuts it was a good start both dishes had the required amount of crunch next came yu sang also known in mandarin as yee sheng the name is a homonym for the chinese words for good luck and it is a sweet sour raw fish salad made up of many elements including daikon shredded raw yam died to be colourful carrot pickled ginger and shallot coriander sesame crispy flat noodles pomelo peanuts and sashimi grade salmon i think this one also featured jellyfish if you want to make it yourself here s a recipe now the popularity of this dish hails from its presentation as lucky raw fish salad in 1963 in a restaurant in singapore it is said to have principally originated in guangzhou southern china aka the rice bowl of china where raw fish salads were regularly made with fresh water fish such as carp although the fashion for the serving of the dish quickly migrated to malaysia as a feature of new years celebrations it never made it to hong kong where the locals considered that the waters were not clean enough to risk eating raw carp it is the tradition that the elements that make up the dish be piled up at the table with certain sayings pronounced at each stage then all at the table must dip in with their chopsticks to toss it together it is said to be throwing luck up into the air which is considered good fortune it s a bit of contemporary hocus pocus but there is obviously comfort in certain rituals i just couldn t wait to dive in and eat it the flavours and textures of this dish present as a mouthful of fine citrus sweet and tangy string with the soft sliver of salmon wrapping itself around the palate while nuts and noodle chips provide crunch it s very satisfying especially with the slight heat you get from the sticky pickled ginger and shallots the next jaw dropping dish was a fu pei goon fu pei is a sheet of tofu which is skimmed off the top of a vat of beancurd and left to dry goon means roll as in spring roll chun goon the fu pei had been wrapped around fish paste and seaweed and carrot then deep fried sliced on the diagonal it was served with more pickles and a sweet dipping sauce the comfort factor was provided by a huge mound of sambal balanchan kangkung kang kung is the water convulvulous plant with long leaves and a hollow stem in this dish it is tossed at high heat in a blend of garlic dried fermented shrimp paste and chilli it is said that a good malaysian restaurant can be judged by the quality of their balanchan this was certainly a ripper for me the dish of the night was the nonya fish on the plate all i could see was lettuce decorative spring onion shreds and coriander supporting a yellow sauce flecked with red chilli and then i noticed a fin a succulent whole fish was buried in this thick rich tamarind based sauce made fiery with the chilli the nose dripping factor was high as we broke into a sweat and chugged down mouthful after mouthful of this slippery sour hot concoction as i nursed a bulging stomach more tai chi friends arrived and lurid pink coconut and lychee jellies were served dad was spoilt however with a single serve of cold sweet snow ear fungus soup with lotus seeds i slurped the cool jelly happily and wondered whether i would ever eat again after feeling so magnificently full jade kingdom 233 waiora road heidelberg heights victoria ph 03

which has been passed on for generations the rice is made fresh everyday to ensue the perfect taste just for you menu coco rice melbourne at first glance after reading the above i thought wtf but as i sat with my lunch in front of me at coco rice i realised the joys of the internet and the ability it has to provide instant translations services which i believe is how the above piece of advertising copy had come about had it been written by a copywriter under my supervision i would probably have sent them to work in despatch and provided some part time literacy training until such a time as they had mastered the local patois i had happened upon coco rice at lunchtime enroute to my favourite melbourne cbd precinct emanating from flinders lane into manchester lane degraves street and centre place in this buzzing hub i once had an office where journal canteen now is and some very dear friends live next door in bible house this intersection of laneways has been cultivating some very talented individuals and their businesses over the last ten years it is a mecca for the non franchised anti establishment kind of commercial enterprise in these lanes are tiny little businesses like a pocket full of scuffed brightly coloured old miniature toys they sit cheek by jowl nestled in impossible spaces making use of the lanes and discarded furniture for seating the miniscule eateries hug shops full of eclectic and eccentric attire arty acquisitions not to mention a frumpy shop stuffed to the gills with everything you could ever need for baking on the walls of one lane is spectacular stencil art and grafitti in another pocket is a regularly changing exhibition of backlit works of art this is my world this is how i refresh my mind in town this is where barry humphreys launched his retrospective exhibition with a fleet of dame edna look alikes waving gladioli this slice of melbourne s underbelly is what characterises my hometown for me it is what sets our city apart from other state capitals it reflects a strong force in the community who have the wherewithal to optimistically make something from nothing and to make it in a creative and quirky way that stimulates the passing trade however if there wasn t a slice of melbourne society with an artistic bent who seek to rail against the beigeness of keeping up with the jones in the antisocial and sprawling mc mansion suburbia it would never have survived to now be enjoyed by tourists whether foreign domestic or local this is also what once drew me to acland street st kilda as a teenager sadly the personality that comes with this kind of enterprise has now been driven out by cashed up franchised businesses the spirit of that precinct has been cannibalised by the kind of shops that service the masses businesses that have deluded themselves that the cachet of the area will rub off on them on moving in heaven forbid that this should ever happen to my downtown paradise but back on the subject of food this area is like striking a vein of gold in an old mine melbourne has great fine dining casual dining and even grazing venues but here you will find the quick and the cheap eats in abundance there is great coffee pastry snacks and breakfast to be had and there is the quick lunch coco rice is set up for the quick meal in a small narrow space in manchester lane it is one of the new shops in a spot
