Hey Jamie its called Rock Kung

RK is FARKEN GREAT!!

My favourite dish there is the Ginger Lobster with noodles

The duck is ok, but the pork is really nice (BBQ or Roast, they are both great)

In Vic Street my fav is Ha Long Bay and Pacific House. There is a good noodle soup place there too Thi Thi 2?..the one upstairs.

In chinatown you cant go past Ling Nam....although after the health inspection, its just not the same :-D

For duck. Old Kingdom in Collingwood reigns SUPREME!!!

For Thai my favourite used to be Kra Ra Ton in Russel st, but after it changed owners a year or so ago, it went down hill.

im sure i have more places, but just cant remember them :-D

Is this the place that brings out the same duck 3 or 4 times for different courses, ending in the skeletal system becoming a soup?

If so, a colleague said it was the best duck place in Melb. The chef is supposed to be hilarious too. Funny like good chefs in a Tepanyaki restaurant.

I didnt grow up in melbourne, but everywhere I've had peking duck (brisbane, sydney, adelaide) they always make 3 things with it. I was always told that duck is brought to life 3 times, or some such shit, and whenever peking duck was ordered they would ask what else you wanted it in, i.e you could get peking duck, the rest of the duck in fried rice, and then the bones in soup. But I cant find anywhere here that does it. When I ask they just look at me like I'm stupid, haha. I went to pacific house tonight and they didnt know what I was talking about (food was nice though). Has anyone who grew up here heard of this? Is there anywhere that does it?

i just saw the post about a place in collingwood, but I mean is it uncommon for places to serve it in this fashion?

Rock Kung would probably revive the duck 3 times, but only because they didn't kill it properly. But seriously, you can get bone soup there though, so they'll probably do the duck bone soup.

Thats the place, but the soup is first. Followed by the Peking Duck, then the Shredded Duck in Beanshoots (or noodles whatever you prefer)

It IS the best duck place in Melbourne, BUT you have to book in advance AND order the ducks(s) at least 24 hours in advance

oh...and never over order the duck......the dude gets angry. He is hilarious, but is very serious about his duck

Best soup there is the Crab Meat & Sweet Corn soup....followed closely by the Hot & Sour

man im making myself hungry

Yes, Old Kingdom WAS one of the best PEKING DUCK place in Melbourne. However, the original owner has sold his business. Haven't been there since. But you definitely need to order the duck in advance.

Noticed this Chinese restaurant last night in Heathmont and couldn't resist a photo op.

Qn is... Would you eat there??

LOL! SHATIN

I think they mean "Sha Tin". Its a suburb in Hong Kong on the KCR (Tram Lines) going towards the country sides.

They probley named the restaurant after it.

Yeah you can have a laugh at some of the Asian names cuz sometimes it just does not make the correct translations.

When you eat at a Chinese restaurant, trditionaly the whole duck is used for 3 main dishes.

1. The duck skin and a bit of meat wrapped with the small pieces of vegetables, spring onions and Hoi Sin sauce.

2. The duck meat with fried noodles.

3. The duck bones to make a duck soup.

As you know Peking or Beijing (Same name / meaning, different pronounciation) is a place in China, so the dish is named after the place, Beijing Roast Duck.

Cool!

I know a whole bunch of ppl that always go for lunch at Chilli Cafe on Russell St, but I'm not a fan of Thai so I'm always cranky pants when they go there :D Apparently it's quite cheap and really good though.

Japanese on the other hand.. sooo yummy.. but always starving again 3hrs later..

Favourite places are atami in preston, matsumoto on lygon, torimatsu on king st and uni sushi in university hill (bundoora).. oh and can't forget Koko at crown!! Though last time I went service was a bit crap..

Still can't find a great chinese place down here, that can compare to this great place in Sydney my family used to go to when I was growing up. Closest one so far is Peking Inn in Bundoora... but still not overly fussed with the quality of meat... it's always that thin, tough kinda chinese crap everywhere we go.

Lots of places say 'fillet steak' but it hardly ever is :D

Had lunch with Alex at a chinese place on Russell the other week.. lucky he was with us caus the waiters didn't speak much english lol. I guess you know it's good if chinese ppl mostly eat there..

while its not asian, check out Rich Maha in Burwood for some awesome Malaysian/Sri Lankan food. They do Mi Gorengs, Nasi Gorens, Kwae Teow and Teh Tarik.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
