On lygon you can really see Melbourne’s coffee culture coming to life.
My sisters and I went down to Lygon (also known as little Italy) for dinner at Ying Thai. I never noticed this but Lygon is canned packed with restaurants. It’s like this one road dedicated to food. On the way to Ying Thai, i felt like i was walking around Gadong’s Pasar malam and get this, instead of stalls streaming from one end to the other, u get countless numbers of restaurants and cafes. And instead of MIANG ABANGS you get waiters dressed in crisp black suites (whom i bet a really MAFIAS disguising as Waiters) standing outside trying to lure you to have a meal at their place;- (thick italian accent) “Ladies!! Pasta??? Gelato??” .
NO TENGKIOK!!!
Filled with sidewalk restaurants, you’re just simply spoilt for choice.

Anyway, I was at Ying Thai same tuesday last week, i thought it was good so this time, i took my sisters with me. The place was as usual, packed with people. Shasha told me to try the Thai Ice Tea – that is if they had any cause apparently “THAI ICED TEA” IS THE SHIT. fo shizzle ma nizzle. AND OMG . IT WAS REALLY GOOD LAH SHA. SO GOOD, that i just had to have two glasses of it. Its like iced teh tarek but slightly orang-ey in colour and it’s more fragrant than the usual teh tarek.. its not Thai Iced Tea by the way.. to them (thai waiters) its “Taaai , Aihhh (ice), Teeee” hahahahahahaha. Their english pronounciation can be very very bad i tell you. Lobster jadi “lofthter” lol.
Had the roasted duck SA-LAD , tom yum tee-food (seafood) , their version of sweet and sour fish and their Panang Chicken Red Curry… The Thai Iced Tea complimented the super duper hot hot blooody hot food nicely. SANDI nya urang.

The one with the PINK button like thingy on top is my Chai chocolate. huhuhuhu.
Went to get dessert after that. Stopped at koko-black to get my Chai Infused chocolates and truffles. Kel stopped to get Gelato and Molly went to this Nasi Lemak Place (the one with the ghetto aunty) for “TAPAU” ya ya believe it or not even after all that food we had she wasn’t even close to being FULL. Molly’s perut’s probably all the way up in Pluto..

Koko Black on Lygon Street.
Her friends have been raving about the nasi lemak place and suggested that she should try the Nasi Lemak Sea food. All this on one stretch of road. Its where Thailand ,Malaysia , China , Europe and parts of the middle east meets the rest of Italy. Belessimo!!
Anyway the AUNTY selling Nasi Lemak was rude. rude gila babi. Me and her almost got in to an argument about Halal chicken. Silly i know .. tapi kurang ajar bah. You know, i can understand how some people are just RUDE and not mean anything by it well same applies to this AuNty accept that she was just PUSHING IT.
Molly:- One Nasi Lemak Seafood please..
Nasi Lemak Aunty: Where you from ah???
Molly: Brunei.
Nasi Lemak Aunty: Oh so you can stand HOT lah?
Molly: chilli padi is it?
Nasi Lemak Aunty: yaaaa, cause our sambal is very hot you know!!!
Molly: Ya ya can can…..
Nasi Lemak Aunty:- Ok ah!! cause the mild one..NO KICK one..
Me: where you get your chilli padi here from?
Nasi Lemak Aunty: Got, very expensive..
eerr.. i probably had the words “i cant afford chilli padi here in Melbourne” written all over me.. in NEON LIGHTS.. sama ARROW.
Me: Is your meat halal?
Nasi Lemak Aunty:- nooo..but will soon lah.. i will buy soon but the prices will change a little bit..
Me: cheaper right?
Nasi Lemak Aunty: what got cheaper!?!?!?!? Got increase lah a little bit..
Me: what do u mean? halal meat here is cheap u know.. i buy every weekend 3 bucks u can get 5 kilos.
Nasi Lemak Aunty: WHERE GOT?
Me: Got!!
Nasi Lemak Aunty: Eh, GIRL. (see how she was pushing it)Ive been here long time oready where got meat that cheap.
Me: IVE BEEN HERE SIX YEARS. ITS ALWAYS BEEN CHEAP
Nasi Lemauk Aunty now known as GHETTO NASI LEMAK AUNTY:- NO laa!!
Me: yaaa got..its cheaper.
GHETTO NASI LEMAK AUNTY:- Eh GIRL, u tink i have time to go down sydney road check the prices
Me: ya ya whatever..ok ok. im waiting outside.
MACAM HELLO? WHATS YOUR PROBLEM DAWG!?!?!?!
Me and kel kudnt stand her and left Molly alone to wait for her stupid nasi lemak seafood. I have low levels of tolerance for people like her.
