Been MIA again because all 3 of us are busy with work. (yes, MM is employed again...at least until next week, after which 1.5months of holidays/travelling follows...can't wait!) Well, not deviating from our previous theme...I chose to share with you today - Auction Rooms, a popular brunch spot in North Melbourne. I've been there a few times myself...probably a couple of times for brunch, and

Greetings, y'all! Yes, we are back on the blogging block, and I certainly hope we are here to stay for a while longer. Lots has been happening since we last updated, but as MM had said, we never stopped eating (obviously) and am still always on the lookout for good food! Brunchy times has become sort of a staple for girly get-togethers and catch-ups for us (as we have graduated from student

Was sorting through old photos and found more pictures from my very visit to MART 130. The post is just to share the drool-worthy photos. It appears my friends and I had variations of the 4 types of 'mart eggs'. Perhaps for completion's sake, I should have included the mushroom & chives eggs (which already appeared in the previous post). I'm hungry!! -MM-

Brunching is one of our favourite things to do (so expect to see a few posts about brunch spots)...and MART130 is personally one of MY favourite spots. I've heard/read a lot about MART 130 previously...how it's a play on the word 'tram' spelled backwards, and how it's located at stop 130. It always sounded really interesting but it wasn't until my first visit (late last year) that I fell in love

Previous attempts to dine at Cutler & Co. were foiled by too huge a party (the restaurant requires a party of 8 people and more to go for the degustation menu and with various dietary requirements, we were not keen to do so). This time round, with a smaller party, we finally managed to reserve a table for four on thursday night (after forgoing friday night as it was fully booked). The occasion -

Hi all! It has been a long long while... We have been busy with studying and now work...but myself - MM, is currently on sabbatical and do have a little bit of free time on my hands. I decided to start talking about my favourite past-time (one of them, the other being shopping), i.e. eating again. I changed the look of IronEaters a little, armed with very limited know-how...and am keen to keep

I think this is the first post of something home-made :) It all began during the brief 2-week holidays...there was a potluck for a friend's going away party, and I decided to bake a cheesecake (because that was the only thing I ever baked)...thought that would help to de-stress post-exams! Following that, I baked a couple more cheesecakes (with San on one occasion) and couldn't stop looking at

Mouse is back on da blog (block)! Thanks to my MM sister for up-keeping the blog for the past week while I regain my interest and love for blogging all things food! ^^ I certainly hope I am back to stay for a while - have been taking photos of food for the past few days! Hohoho. Tonight's post features Ma Brown, a Chinese-Malaysian restaurant tucked away at Balwyn. It's a restaurant that you

Street Food Frankly I didn't have enough street food (so many more I would have loved to try...but I wasn't feeling very well for that whole month there...plus, too much to eat, too little time) but here

Most of us would have heard of Nobu. It is a chain of restaurants started in the US, a collaboration between Robert De Niro and Nobu Matsuhisa, a chef known for his fusion cuisine - traditional Japanese dishes with a twist, incorporating South American (Peruvian and Argentinian) ingredients. Nobu's flagship Manhattan restaurant is apparently a renowned hang-out for A-list stars...a place for

Decided to write about something more recent. Too many places we've been to (but to be honest, haven't been as deligently taking photos as before) and happened to click on the Manchester Lane folder first, so this shall be it! Named after the lane it is situated on, this bar-restaurant is known for its live music. Different bands play all the time (check their website for details) so check

I am sure any one who has been to HK would know Hui Lau Shan (from now on known as HLS)...and if you love mangoes, it will be your favourite place :) I went almost every day! For me, the combination of mango and coconut is simply ingenious!! And speaking of, there is such a combination at Boost juice (tropical storm?) but nothing beats HLS!

Just before I retire for the night, I'll quickly share a few more photos...from a Japanese restaurant in Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣). I must say that it has been a long long time since then and I do not remember where this place was (i.e. name of restaurant/address) :( The place was pretty, the food was pretty (especially the ones on display) and hence I like! The taste...I would say average but they did

This is MM guest blogging :) The owners of this blog have been really busy and do feel bad for neglecting their ironeaters...so seeing it is now officially school holidays, I said that I would put up some new posts...mainly pictures of food...coz that's what I like...haha...

Anyway, here's the promised 2nd Sibu restaurant post, and I'm almost done with Sibu food posts. I'll be posting some of CC's mum's yummy home cooking and that'll be about it. Next up with be a

Okay, I know I said the next post would be another one on CC's family restaurant, but seeing how I posted about Sibu hawker food here, I thought I'll just quickly write this on Penang hawker food, because I had some yesterday and there isn't a lot of pictures. :) Liang and I went to a hawker centre in Lorong Swatow, near New World Park in Penang yesterday. Because I am lame, I forgot the name of

Erm, I don't really know the exact location where we had these, but they are considered pretty common in Sibu. We actually didn't have a lot of hawker food because, y'know, CC's parents are like awesome chefs. But of course we have to try the most famous Foochow food in Sibu. For those who don't

I really want to keep updating this!) and to start things off, the next few posts will be specials on food in Sibu, Sarawak!

With San working and Mouse way beyond stressed with uni, IronEaters has unfortunately been neglected for a few months. We sincerely apologise for that and rest assure that we are working to get IronEaters back on track. Therefore IronEaters is now on a short hiatus until we scrap it back into shape. Sorry and I hope that you guys will come back after our official re-opening. :)Meanwhile take

Hopefully I'll be liberated by the end of the week - have a couple of food posts I want to get up. Rose Garden BBQ Shop - one of my favourite Chinese places, period.

Despite being Malaysian born and bred, I never have a very high tolerance for spicy-ness. No doubt that I do like certain spicy foods (i.e. tom yum and curries), but certainly not majority and I cannot take food that are extremely spicy. So I don't know what possessed me to want to try Dainty Sichuan (probably tummyrumbles' reviews) and amazingly enough, I went on my own free will, there was no

One of my frens loves to eat the burgers at Grill'd and upon his recommendation, 4 of us (me, MM, Mouse & JK) drove down to St. Kilda to have the burgers for dinner. Grill'd is a burger bar claiming to offer a healthier version of burgers ~ 100% chicken breast, beef, lamb n veggie pattie (preservative free). So far, it has 4 stores in Melbourne but none is situated in the CBD area. The nearest

The reason we chose this restaurant is simple, we just flipped thru Mouse's Entertainment Book with seafood and somewhere near in mind, and hence Fish it is =) Fish was situated at the end of the Docklands' restaurants area (regardless of the "Docklands Drive" address, it is actually situated at the end

I actually didn't have as many posts as I thought. Because a lot of places were our favourites and repeats, therefore I didn't take photos to blog. Oh well, there's still a few fair posts to go. :D Dad was in the mood for Italian one night, so we scanned through the Entertainment Book for a nice and near and recommended Italian restaurant.

Just because there are a couple of food posts piling up and I really want to get things up and running before we get backlogged. :( Anyway!

Last Friday, Mouse brought me to this place that she had been raving about ~ issus Cafe Bar ~ to try the brekky, especially their French toast. So, here we go around 11am to have our brunch. yup, its one of the restaurants at this lane Melbourne is fairly famous for its hidden, cozy cafes which are mostly in little lanes and I personally rather enjoy having meals/coffees at those hidden places

Oriental Spoon is one of our favourite places so yes, we do like the food, mostly. :) A bit pricey for dinner though - lunch was more value for money. First off, the obligatory appetizer picture!

So, whats the deal? When u r at HJ, just say that u want a " 2-4-1 XXX burger" and you will have the 2nd burger for free. How good is that ? =D The story is that HJ ran a promotion

We found the place with the recommendation of Sis's friends, and trooped down there last Friday for coffee and cakes when Sis had craving. Sis is having cravings like every second of every minute

Durian + Mango, $4.00 Went to Freddo last weekend, around 5pm, when it had just reopened after closing for a period of time. We all have been missing it, esp MM and JK who have been talking and talking about going to Freddo! Thus here we are =D Altho we were all still quite full due to a late lunch at Nasi Lemak House, obviousy we not gonna let that stop us! lol. Freddo has been very popular

Here's the promised post on a better laksa - in our opinion anyway. Headed over to Nasi Lemak House on Sunday after a meeting, I forgot who had a craving but someone did anyway. Nasi Lemak House is not one of my favourite places if only I couldn't really stand the service there, especially the attitude of the Mrs.Boss. But undeniable though, the food there IS kinda good. Small and hidden but

This time for lunch, we don't have any particular place that we wanted to go and hence after having a "brainstorming" among the 3 of us, Laksa me it is since it is situated near from where we stay and MM has never been there. Me and Mouse have tried the food there once, (HERE is the first review) and I was pretty disappointed with the main attraction there ~ laksa (but entree & desserts were good

We stumbled upon St.Kilda for lunch yesterday, after an initial plan in Elsternwick fell through (and completely! Why is that place not opened on Saturdays, WHY and no one told me that?!) - so Sis took a detour and we ended up in St.Kilda. Sooo many cafes at the Esplanade. We were by the so hungry we could eat a cow (230PM) so when Alf suggested a place he had been to before - fringe - there were

I don't often have classes that start at 1PM, so when given the chance, I decided to make use of my looong morning and have a nice breakfast. In which I hadn't really done since coming back to Melbourne. My breakfasts mostly consisted of, if I'm early, cereal while preparing to go to uni or, if I'm late, stuffing bread/banana/whatever food into my mouth as I run after the tram (story of my life,

Greedy people will always be greedy. Even after a huge dimsum lunch (post coming up after this, hell lot of pictures to edit), we can STILL eat. Anyway, after dimsum and a lot of walking around on Sunday, me, Sis, San, CC and JK decided to have more food. We decided on snacks because it would be less filling (let our minds play tricks on us ok...we're perfectly happy to let it) and popped by a

Last Saturday, we had a impromptu after-dinner walk at Lygon street (we had dinner at home btw) coz its Saturday and we've been staying at home for the whole day. Besides, when ones speaks of Lygon street, places like Koko Black, Brunetti or Freddo's just popping into ur head, wittingly or unwittingly! This happens esp after u just had dinner and what more you can want, after dinner, at least

After dinner at M.O.O. Restaurant (scroll down for our review or click here), since it was still early(around 9pm), we decided to go to Koko Black at Lygon street. Too bad there wasn't any parking space near it and also Koko Black was practically packed with people inside. So, we head over to Brunetti instead to try our luck. Of course we managed to get a space to park the car after turning here

I celebrated my mum's birthday at M.O.O. (Money Order Office) this year and really enjoyed myself, and I've always been looking for a chance to go back with foodie greedy San and my sister. This morning we decided on a whim to go for dinner tonight, and hence we did just that. All hidden and cool like an exclusive club. AND when we reached there, I found out that I forgot to charge my camera

JWOW Wine Bar is located at QV, a basement location next to Strike Bowling Bar. Its quite a hidden place as initially I've walked passed it many times and yet did not notice its existence. The decorum of the bar is influenced by the Asian culture, noted seen in the furniture where it was of the traditional Chinese-styled tables and chairs with silk cushions. Jwow's lightings are low and in

Kimurakan is one of my favourite lunching places for Japanese food - their lunch menu is quite extensive and the food is rather good - good value for money and good by itself! We popped in for lunch a couple of days ago - and all, ALL THREE of us, feeling rather unadventurous and greedy - ordered the Kimurakan Bento ($12.50). Ooooooo. OOOOOOO FOOOOOOD. Heck lot of stuff in the bento. There

Mostly picture less words post! Went to Gin Khao Thai Food (was reviewed once here) again for pad thai last week as Sis and San had enormous cravings for their pad thai. I was more than happy to go since I just got back to Melbourne but those two crazies had apparently had it two days ago or something. Oh well, if they want to. Sis and San both had the Seafood and Chicken Pad Thai respectively.

MM has been mentioning this restaurant a few times and strongly recommends (she herself has been there several times!) us there as she REALLY like the ambience of it.

Tomodachi means friends in Japanese. It is situated at the busy Melbourne Central, near Hoyts cinema. Tomo served modern Japanese cuisine where its food has Western and Chinese influences. They have the famous shushi train where the sushi chef will make the shushi on the spot and if you like something besides shushi, there is a la carte menu. Still remember I used to go to Tomo quite often when

Not only the food is good and cheap, also you can expect polite service at this restaurant, where the staff always have a smile on their faces.

Me and Mum went to Manila Place for lunch today, a cafe-style restaurant situated in Gurney Plaza. It serves both local Malaysian-style cuisine and Western cuisine, so there's a little something for everyone. ^.^ We both had the set lunch, which came with an ice-lemon tea,

In the next three weeks, there will be a special section to IronEaters: Penang food!! Yes, yours truly is back in the Paradise of Food (which is also where she comes from) for three weeks and plans to gorge on all the yummies of her hometown. :D Except (I will be kicked severely for this) I am not much of a hawker food person and because of health reasons, I am trying to cut down on hawker food.

There is a charming little cafe called Garage near to the (new) law school of the Univerity of Melbourne, in which I think not many people know about it. I first learnt of the place back in 2005 when a few of my law-friends brought me there, and it certainly is one of my favourite places to eat when I am in the area. Garage Cafe is stationed in where the name suggests: a garage. It's a pretty

A really back-dated post but bear with me here. Have been procrastinating on blogging! Stonegrill was one of those fancy-pants restaurants that we always wanted to try and always went like "go now, go later, go whenever" and never really got around to it until this year. I've heard a lot of good things about that place - particularly the bit where you cook your own meat to perfection on a hot

Satay bun ($1.90) & Spicy beef ($1.80) These are my brunch from Breadtop, QV + the egg tart from Maxim yesterday =D quite full as they were all dough-y based. This is my 1st time having the satay bun as the pyramid shape & the word "satay" caught my eyes. The top part of the bun tasted like pastry typed of texture while the bottom is just like normal bread. I like the bun's texture as it

We had Thai food again today for lunch. When Turtle suggested Thai food, I initially wanted something else, but decided what the heck. I don't know about San and my sis, but for me I just want like GOOD Thai Basil Chicken. The five of us (plus Sis' visiting best friend HW) went to a Thai restaurant on Swanston St., a relatively new place called Gin Khao Thai Food. Not the first time we've been

Laksa Me (Malaysian-fusion restaurant) has been catching San's eye as of late, with glowing reviews in Tummy Rumbles, A Few Of My Favourite Things and etc company, including the Age. We trooped down there to try it two weeks ago (and I am blogging it now because? I am sick. Sick, mind you. Not lazy. :D) for a lunch, when I needed a break from staring at my books.

Friday nights are always horrible to find a place for dinner when you don't have a booking. Fortunately, trusty Chinatown always has something for us, even when it's not our first choice restaurant. :D On the recommendation of my sister's course mate, we tried a Thai restaurant on Little Bourke Street yesterday - Lemon Bistro. Presenting...the MENU! We ordered three dishes to share, with rice

On the past Monday, I went to Holmes to meet my fren, JW. Initially, we thought of going to Nyonya Hut for lunch as JW told me that she feels the char kuey teow there is the best she has had so far, plus i also have heard about it serving good Malaysia food there...Hence, I must go. Haha. However, just before we going to meet, JW found out that Nyonya Hut is not opened on Monday! *sob* Therefore,

Yong taufu is v popular in Malaysia and Singapore. Loosely speaking, it is " stuffed tofu". "Yong" is like a way of cooking, not too sure what is the word in English. If anyone knows, pls shout out. Anyway, not only tofu, you can have stuffed chillies, lady fingers, beans, mushrooms, eggplants and practically anything that u like. I personally love the chillies'! *Sigh, miss my mum's yong taufu*

You know how you never really check out little alley-way restaurants because you don't venture into little alleyways? Okay, maybe you do, but I don't, and I never really dined at those little alleyway Chinatown places despite being here for the 6th year counting. Yes, I am unadventurous and I suck. Anyway, my sister's friend recommended this rather hidden place called 蓝天 Blue Sky a while back,

SOS is a Vege-Aquatic (I don't really know what that means, but I'm guessing along the lines of "hip", "cool" and "exotic") restaurant located on Melbourne Central, one of the hottest and most prominent spots, in fact. It looks really impressive from the outside; secret sliding door and the works. It's also under the same management as Taxi (one of my favourite restaurants that I WILL review
