Hello from Frankston again. Yeb i been to Yarra River beside
Crown Casino to see the 'flaming dragons'. I will go to the casino
one weekend..heh.. Other places i have been to includes Carrums
Down Bingo.. Victoria Market..
Oh one question, how are the prices as compared between Victoria
Market on Sunday and Coles/Safeway. I see alot of people snapping
up vege at the last minute to get good bargains.
While in Melbourne Central, i saw a few Singaporean themed
restaurants but the price put me off. i am better off cooking my
own food! haha..
Victoria Market, and most of the other markets like the Prahran
Market, the South Yarra Market, the Richmond Market, etc are often
very much cheaper. 
That's where you can get apples for A$1.20 / kg
if they are in season, or cherries for $6.00 / kg and even a dozen
huge, plump blushing mangoes for $10 or less! Since you're
not driving yourself around, it'll be tough to lug all those fruits
and vegetables around on public transport so just stick to
whatever's most convenient for you! 
Should you have a craving for Mee Pok or Wanton Mee, you can
head down to Singapore Chom Chom along Bourke Street, near Target
Central. If you crave Hainanese Chicken Rice, or Laksa, head
over to Old Raffles Place on Johnson St in Collingwood. If
you crave chi char, Pacific House Restaurant just opened a branch
in a street right next to QV Central... hmm... Lonsdale?
Laksa Yong Tau Fu is available in the food
court in Crown Casino and is pretty tasty although the one at
Boxhill's Dai Pai Tong is still my favourite.
Don't forget to try the Lix Gelati at Melbourne Central!
Their smallest scoop is a three-scoop on a cup / cone and it costs
only A$4.50 or so. Buy one, then hop across the road to sit
outside the Melbourne Library to enjoy your ice-cream, and watch
the world go by. And no matter what you do, DO NOT feed the
seagulls, because they will then cling to you and harrass you no
end for more scraps!! 
Don't leave Melbourne without visiting one of the Vietnamese
restaurants to eat a steaming hot bowl of Pho! Also don't
leave without eating baked-on-the-spot pizza from one of them
hole-in-the-wall Greek / Italian joints, which usually turns out to
be way more delicious than Pizza Hut. And then, there's Souvlavki,
which you must try at least once. Not to mention the
Schnitzels, esp if you love cheese. There's a famous Korean
restaurant opposite Melbourne Central that sells really authentic
Korean food too, should you be feeling cold and want to tuck into a
bowl of hot Samgyetang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup).
And even at McD's, try the McFeast and find out why the beef
patties here taste so much better than back in SG. Even the
McChicken Deluxe tastes awesome!
