the monkey puzzle: friendly northern neighbours

friendly northern neighbours

So, where do you take an out-of-town friend who's visiting for a few days and wants to eat some nice food ? Here's what I did :

Zukini - nice atmosphere, excellent food (of the "fusion" variety, I guess you'd call it).
KimChi Grandma, all the way out in Carnegie (though I notice there's one in Box Hill, now) - our best Korean food - I notice the menu changed and expanded since last time I went (was it that long?).
Camy Shanghai Noodle and Dumpling House - one of the many "the decor's so old because the food's so good" places in town but, like, this one does dumplings. I've been going here for at least 8 years and I can't see a single thing that's changed.
The Tandoor, Chapel St (opposite the Jam Factory) - my friend had never(!) tried Indian food before, so this seemed like a good place to come to - I hadn't been here in a while, but it's still good, solid food with enough attention to detail to raise it above the average Indian restaurant.

I love Kim Chi. Best I've found is at Kim Chi Lunchbox, on Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.
