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

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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
