*Australia’s Foodie Capital- Melbourne* were NOT❌❌ as *Renowned* as it was, anymore!! I just went to Melbourne Last Aug.，ever since 2011 @nd I can tell you this - their Food is getting more Expensive with Lesser Quantity!! Maybe due to population increases &High inflation but I went back to Many Restaurants that i used to-go, back in 2011 &many of their prices had Skyrocketed with *Mickey/ minnie mouse portions* ，plunged Down to smaller bit pieces till a $40-50 meal Can’t even get you a Full Belly!!
Ha! 2011... Man that was over a decade ago. Things have changed not just in Australia, but all over the world. Asian eateries are still the go to when you want value for money eats.
i, Know @@ryansofly That!! What i mean was many of the *Cafés* ., their food had gotten smaller portions with prices higher much more compared back then! Like Example), *Operator25* their Char siew egg_benedict, i remember was $15 with 2 egg benedict &muffins came with Bacons but now its $22 and its just 2-egg benedict &muffins. That's ALL. See the big differences? *The Hardware Société* , i remember ordered their Crab meat Charcoal_burger with egg benedict ,was $32 NOW, $45 and its just came a Charcoal hamburger with 2 eggs benedict! See the price differences with the ingredients provided& Let alone the portions!!
Love your video, I'm a Tassie and love visiting Melbourne. I was shocked to see you bought a takeaway coffee at the markets. I would never do that , so many good places to have a good coffee in Melbourne without the need of a takeaway cup.
Thanks for the food tips Ryan.. always enjoy your videos, wishing u and hubbie a very merry Christmas.. looking forward to your videos in 2024… safe travels
Great video Ryan . Melbourne is the food capital of Aussie , nothing comes close . I do love the Adelaide central Market though , it’s a fantastic place . The “ Bit too late “ waffle bought a chuckle , you could have been really naughty with that , but it is a family channel I guess . Enjoy Italy , I’ve been once , it’s fab.
Haha yes that waffle was good for a laugh. Adelaide does lack a little culinary variety compared to Melbourne, we are slightly traditional and tend not to stray too far from the tried and tested.
@@ryansofly. I was in that fine dining establishment, the Gawler Arms Hotel a few months ago and they.knew I was a interstate visitor when I ordered a Chicken Caesar salad . It came as a Chicken Schnitty on a bed of lettuce with croutons . Now that was class😀😀
My dear! I bet when you asked (if you asked) for pineapple on pizza in Rome, they didn’t even have it! Hahahaha! Love you! Finally subscribed and got on the internet wagon lol. Love it
I am an AUSSIE Tamil South Indian- melbourne victoria from 2007 to 2019.. Came as a student.. Federation University.. Got my citizenship on May 2013.. Melbourne best in ASIAN and Middle east food.. Indian food is really bad there... Love the ice cream and salads... Cheers from #pollachi #coimbatore #tamilnadu #southIndia
Yes, I'm on a hunt for authentic Thai in Melbourne. I just did Number12 several weeks ago. That's great as well. I have my eyes set on Nana Thai on my next trip to Melbourne.
Pik prik is pretty good too. There’s also a new Khao Soi place on Latrobe street. Thai food in melb cbd has really improved in the last couple of years. Though there’s still room for more. For authentic pizza in the cbd check out spqr or +39. In Carlton DOC is pretty good too.
Hahahahaha I actually studied in Melbourne! I'm an RMIT alumni. I've always loved Melbourne. Just that I began my migration journey in SA. And now I got married there.
Laksa in Australia is pretty dire, so I make do with what I can find. 449 Elizabeth St, Melbourne VIC 3000, you'll find Laksa House. They serve something called Malaysian Curry Laksa, which strangely isn't Malaysian... It isn't ANYTHING really. But it's the closest to the Laksa I know. Try that one. I kinda liked it.
@@ryansofly thanks honey. Does Melbourne have Thai town , just like the one they have in Sydney ?. She's got craving for laksa but strangely Thai also!!!
@@johnt6022 so far the 2 which I've tasted in this video offer the best Thai. KMG for chicken rice (not so much the tomyam), and Soi 38 for everything else.
That's how the western pallette likes Thai food. Then when they taste the ACTUAL authentic ones in Thailand, they yearn for the watered down sweet version. 🤣
@@JustIn-mu3nl yes, just like you when I find an authentic one I hang on to it with dear life. I haven't found one in Adelaide, which means I fly to Melbourne to eat.
Another great vlog Ryan and it was nice to see your husband and friend Karen. Melbourne is always good for food! One day you’ll have to check out the Sri Lankan places down there and Sydney- I’ve heard they’re not too bad and the only cities that have good SL food. Unfortunately we have none in Brisbane. We used to about 20 years ago but there’s been nothing since then. Your Italy blogs with your husband will be amazing I’m sure. 🙂
I'm yet to find Sri Lanka cuisine in Adelaide. There is a grocer which makes puttu string hoppers to order, that's about it. Yeah we fly out to Europe in 2 weeks. Malta, Gozzo, Rome, Venice, Zurich and London. Yippee!
@@ryansofly yippee indeed! One of the major issues with SL food run as a business, is a massive disconnect between the food side which is good, and the business accumen/ proper advertising of it. They’re great at food, but terrible at business and taking advice, then the whole venture goes kaput even despite the ones that were authentic and popular also inevitably failing even if Sri Lankans supported it. It’s such delicious and varied cuisine that it *should* by rights, be one of those cuisines that’s in most suburbs. Alas, it will never be. You’re another cocktail like me (SL/ German/ Dutch) with your Singapore/ Thai background. How long will you be away for? May send you a little gift from Brisvegas, although if you’re away in a fortnight it might be best to send it when I know you’re back from travels. 🙂

Omg that takeaway coffee isn't the norm. I'd usually prefer to people watch at the café. Hehe...
I love how excited you get about food!
Hahahaha yes, I literally live to eat! Absolutely love everything about food.

Ive lived in melbourne for 52 years. If melbourne is the food capital in australia god help us
It's all about perspective. If you live in Adelaide like I do, Melbourne is a God send.

Great video, Melbourne is one of favourite cities in general!

@@TheHobartAviationFan Melbourne's awesome... That's why I'm always there to eat. Don't think I can afford to live there though. 🤣
Thanks Ryan . I Visited Soi 38 a few weeks ago . Wonderful. Thai Food .A golden rule though .Get in early .It gets SO packed .
Oh yes! I always turn up at these places during non traditional meal times. As we left, the line was very long.
Neil Perry quanta’s lounge!!! Haaaaahahahaha LOVE IT
Don't get me started on his shitty Asian creations. All fake.
Very informative. Thank you.

I agree w your comments on the burned butter sauce
Indeed... That was just melted butter
Looks so delicious 😋
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Hey darls... ummm, New Kum Den...??? Very camp indeed.

@@antonc81 I'm definitely taking mental note. Cheers...
You need to try a mushroom pizza in Roma Ryan, so so good. I'm from Adelaide and living in Melbourne now - you and hubby should definitely move here.
Hahahahaha I actually studied in Melbourne! I'm an RMIT alumni. I've always loved Melbourne. Just that I began my migration journey in SA. And now I got married there.
One more think . "Jinda Thai " in North Richmond is worth trying too . A Thai friend recommended it and said it's one of the best !
I will definitely keep that in mind!
Another shout for jinda thai - so so so good!
New Kum Den 🤣🤣🤣 what a name!
I know right? When Karen and I first discovered that place in 2022, we could not stop laughing.
Tozzie (Thai Aussie) food in Australia makes me cry when I see broccoli in every dish!
Hahahahahahaha.... Yes, and zucchini! Like wtf.
@@ryansofly 55555555555+
And every restaurant says Authentic Thai Food, and has broccoli/zucchini in everything . And also serves Laksa
Ryan my darling. I'm in Melbourne right now. Can you recommend a really good place for Laksa ? Hope you're well girl!!!

@@ryansofly There's a couple of good Thai restaurants near me and they are pretty good, I couldn't eat Thai in Sydney.
@@JustIn-mu3nl yes, just like you when I find an authentic one I hang on to it with dear life. I haven't found one in Adelaide, which means I fly to Melbourne to eat.
@@ryansofly Advantage of having an Asian GF in the past lol, she new some good restaurants to go to.
Thanks for the replies mate, I'll give you a sub.
@@JustIn-mu3nl thanks for your support! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Next time you are at pizza pizza pizza, go to the freezer door and open it and walk through :)
Say whuuuut?! What behind that door? Omg this sounds like an episode of SAW.
A speakeasy! It’s a really nice cocktail bar and you can order pizza by the slice there too. It’s great!!
@@alaisdair no shit! Wow now THAT'S so cool! Thanks for this tip!
Wasn’t that Tim from ‘Gogglebox’? 👍😁
Sharp eyes, darling!
@@ryansofly Hehe! Thank you! 😁
thats what Spanian says. Im inclined to agree. Best and most diverse kebab selections. Ours in Sydney are dull or same ol same ol BORING.
Hahaha yes Melbourne remains tops for me.
