i love it when u can hear in the way somebody with food in his hand talks. u can tell the difference between a dry mouth and a salivating at the food one. love it !
Such a great food city. I still remember the Greek food we had at a restaurant in Melbourne's (rather large, I think) Greek community. Yum. I love pandan and I love pear, so you would have both had to give me a bite of those beautiful pastries. Thanks for the tour. 🙌😘
Thanks for watching Michael! You’re correct there is a large Greek community there. Heaps of neat places because of that. We didn’t cover any in this series though. Isn’t pandan awesome. So damn tasty! Loved filming this one 🤤 Cheers, Thomas
Thanks so much mate! It’s so great to be back travelling again- I felt so alive 😍 Looking forward to having another wee plate chaser on the team very soon! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Nancy, thanks so much for watching! So pleased our videos have some new spots for you to try- you’re so lucky working in the city and having so much great food around you! Cheers, Sheena
Yum! Everything looked great, but the Char Koay Teow got my saliva glands squirting. Few things in life are better than a good plate of noodles. Melbourne looks like a lovely, clean city. I'm happy you got to visit your old stomping grounds, and show us around.
Few things in life are better than a good plate of noodles…. What very true words! These ones were epic. Such a bang of flavour. Melbourne is a very special city. It was a joy to be back. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😊😃
I really like your videos. Your recent video about places to dine in Melbourne came up as recommended...and I am stoked it did! I subscribed right away and already have a few new places to try. After WFH for almost three years, I am back in the City a few days a week and keen to try some of your recommendations. Thanks!
Thanks so much! We were absolutely thrilled to see the city buzzing. What a place and what amazing food it has! We were so glad to be back and getting to eat there. We loved our time living in Melbourne and can’t wait to return again. Enjoy being back in the city and the amazing food it has to offer. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas
Hi guys! Oh wow I have to visit Agatha patisserie to try the pandan custard tart for sure 😍I love pastries they’re my weakness. Love that your showing our beautiful city 🥰 thank you
Those tarts are so yum! You’d love them. Try them out when you get a chance and let us know what you think. Loved filming in Melbourne. Thanks very much for watching. Cheers, Thomas
So it's 4am and I'm sitting here teleworking minding my own and having my coffee and begin watching you two. Then bam...Sheena bites into that pandan pastry...and I hear that crunch like you are sitting beside me. I had to get up and make, unfortunately, a bagel 🥯 😒 because it was all I had on hand! ( You are killing me over here!!!!) AND then you slap me with a cheeseburger with fries....guess what I'm having for lunch!❤ Big hugs 🫂 over here while I'm salivating.
Haha this is a great comment! We love a good bagel. So yum! I really enjoyed that crunch also while I was editing this one. Such a great sound. I’ve also made myself hungry for burgers. Thinking we might have to have one for dinner here 😂😆 Enjoy your lunch and thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas
dont be shy to go check out the outer burbs...springvale, box hill, glen waverley, clayton, dandenong, footscray, oakleigh. from a kiwi now in Melbourne's 🤙🏽
Hi mate! We totally need to get back to film another series which stretches further than the cbd and inner suburbs. We love eating in Footscray and Box Hill especially. Thanks for watching this one and hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for watching Steven! It was great returning to our old home and eating up a storm. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the videos - perfect timing - went to Lulu's and Soi 38 this week on the back of your recommendations! Both were very good, even if Soi 38 were sneakily adding weekend surcharge on Monday 🤣
😆😝 So happy you enjoyed both mate! They’re both such great options in the CBD. Thanks for watching and hope you like the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Awesome Michael. Enjoy every second. Isn’t it a cool place. Eat some yum food for us! Thanks very much for watching and enjoy the rest of your visit. Cheers, Thomas

Go to Parkmore in Melbourne and there is a dumpling shop inside the mall. Forgot the name though but it is the only dumpling shop inside that mall, and it's awesome!!!

I have a challenge for you, can you find the best WAT TAN HOR (Chow hor Fun) in Melbourne CBD I will be visiting Melbourne during the Australian Open and I have only 3 days to find the best one
Haha we’d love to do that for ya. We’re not there any more though so we might need you to pop a few grand in our PayPal so we can afford the trip back to food hunt for ya 😂 Enjoy your trip. Melbourne is awesome during to open. Used to love going when we lived there. Cheers, Thomas
Thanks so much for the recommendation Barbara! We can’t wait to return to film another series which stretches further outside of the cbd. We ran out of time on this trip! Hope you enjoy this series. Cheers, Sheena
You are looking so nice so beautiful that looks delicious great fantastic video keep up good work thanks for shared stay always connected dear friend. God bless you 🌹🌹🌹🌷🍒🍇❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hi Trang, thanks for watching! It’s called Butchers Diner. Every video on the channel has all the details of the restaurants we visit in the TH-cam description in case our audience wants to visit themselves 😍 what an epic city to retire to! Cheers, Sheena
I was a lawyer and Thomas was a buyer for an organic supermarket 😄 It was an awesome few years- we love Melbourne so much. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
As a retired Food Writer who has lived in Melbourne for the last 20 years I think I have earned the right to make the following comment respectfully. I think that Melbourne has to be careful of not just resting on its Parmas by catering almost exclusively to the 20/30 something still (relatively) fit and healthy population. Australia will within the next couple of decades be in the grip of a pandemic which will dwarf Covid - diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease and heart disease. All driven by the preponderance of sugar and high carb cuisines and the huge prevalence of processed and take away food. Surely there should be room in Melbourne's diverse culinary market for more and better plant based, organic and low carb eateries. After all Melbourne is only potentially a highly liveable city if you can manage to stay ALIVE!
Having been lucky enough to spend some of my earlier life in France, Agatha Patisserie - the best French patisserie in Melbourne (allegedly) is still only as good as any average Patisserie in any provincial town in France.
Hi Daniel, thanks for watching! Yea inflation has hit hard many places and people have to make a living somehow. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
i love it when u can hear in the way somebody with food in his hand talks. u can tell the difference between a dry mouth and a salivating at the food one. love it !

Having been lucky enough to spend some of my earlier life in France, Agatha Patisserie - the best French patisserie in Melbourne (allegedly) is still only as good as any average Patisserie in any provincial town in France.
Handy for when you can’t travel to France easily though! 😄
Don't piss the singaporeans off cos that's not "their" version of CKT :D :D :D :D
Such strong rivalry when it comes to food between those two nations 😆 thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Please help me 🙏 🙏🙏
Thanks for watching.
I'm sorry but all those prices are straight rip-offs. Just goes to show how bad inflation in Australia is, that food costs so damn much now.
Hi Daniel, thanks for watching! Yea inflation has hit hard many places and people have to make a living somehow. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
You can do way better than that.
Thanks for watching. We’d love to know more info rather than a throw away comment. Let us and other viewers know where you like to eat. Cheers, Thomas
Team Melbourne
Woo hoo! It’s such an epic city! Thanks so much for watching- hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
