Rockpool&#39;s Asian restaurant Spice Temple, I visited it once when it just opened a few years ago, and I feel that it is not as good as before. Absolutely dark cuisine, the lobster is tasteless, and the wagyu onions are so salty that I doubt my life. The best dish should be the spinach salad in Figure 2⃣️ [sad]. ​

Rockpool旗下的亚洲餐厅Spice Temple，几年前刚开业来过一次，感觉现在大不如前。绝对的黑暗料理，龙虾做得无滋无味，和牛洋葱咸到让我怀疑人生，最好吃的菜应该就是图2⃣️凉拌菠菜[允悲]。 ​

在品尝了许多新鲜美味的午餐菜单之后，我们不得不在此点了宫保虾。 我一开始对盘子里的辣椒的数量是感到十分恐慌的，但是食物的外表可能是会欺骗了你的，这道菜的辣味是并没有把我辣倒的，我是觉得吃了过后是相当酷且愉快的。 这是一道必尝的美味菜肴。

After tasting many of the fresh and delicious lunch menu items, we had to order the Kung Pao Shrimp. I was initially intimidated by the amount of chili peppers on the plate, but the appearance of the food can be deceiving, the spiciness of this dish did not overwhelm me, I found it quite cool and pleasant after eating it. This is a delicious dish that must be tried.

位于Melbourne位置，有一家还算不错的中餐厅，是叫做Spice Temple，这家店主打的是本帮菜，竟然还有我最爱吃的松鼠桂鱼。

There is a pretty good Chinese restaurant in Melbourne called Spice Temple. This restaurant specializes in local cuisine and even has my favorite squirrel fish.

做的四川菜，超级的辣哦，里面的那个麻辣鱼辣到冒烟，不过那个酸辣粉丝我觉得不错，酸酸辣辣的，又下饭又好吃，牛肉做的太麻了一点。

The Sichuan cuisine is super spicy. The spicy fish is so spicy that it smokes. But I think the spicy and sour vermicelli is good. It tastes sour and spicy, and goes well with rice. The beef is a little too spicy.

环境非常的棒，消费价格当然也不便宜，料理做的很地道，味道很不错，四川辣椒辣劲十足，菜单上最辣的菜均用红色标识出来。算是墨尔本市最&ldquo;刺激&rdquo;的中餐馆。

The environment is very good, and the price is certainly not cheap. The food is very authentic and tastes very good. The Sichuan pepper is very spicy, and the spiciest dishes on the menu are marked in red. It is considered the most &quot;exciting&quot; Chinese restaurant in Melbourne.

Spice Temple Melbourne

This internet-famous coffee shop only accepts reservations. When I passed by, it seemed to be full at any time. If you didn&#39;t make a reservation in advance, you would not be allowed in.

After checking in, I don&#39;t quite understand why it is so popular. 🍃Environment: The industrial style environment of the old power station is transformed. There are actually many similar styles in Melbourne; 🍭Taste: It is not particularly better than other well-known coffee shops. The ricotta hotcake is beautiful and has its own characteristics. The Benedict eggs and avocado toast are just good.

💁&zwj;♂️Service: Although it is full, the waiter&#39;s care is still acceptable. The serving speed is not fast, but everything comes up as soon as it is served. It happens to be sitting next to the open kitchen, and I don&#39;t feel the smoky smell mentioned by netizens.

Just experience it.

The staff were really lovely, polite, attentive and friendly, and explained the dishes in detail and attentively without being intrusive. The dishes were all delicious, the portions were just right and the flavors were great. I would have liked the cheese to come out before the desserts, rather than when I wanted them. But since the ice cream came first, I had to eat the desserts first, but I just picked and ate some. Of course this is just an inevitable personal opinion. Such a wonderful experience has made me overlook this. 😍👌💖 In no particular order (after all, the desserts are all beautiful😏): 1. Rum sponge cake (pineapple, coconut, lime) 2. Cheese (chef&#39;s selection) 3. Cape beef (radish, charred leek, bone marrow) 4. Quail meat (mushrooms, black garlic, pickled fennel) 5. Scallops (grilled nori, dashi butter, peas) 6. Potatoes (goat cheese, smoked carrots, neem seeds) 7. Pickled cobia (spiced tomatoes, horseradish, XO sauce) 8. Bread and chips 9. Pineapple cocktail

The burger sandwich at the entrance is a specialty! It feels like one person can&#39;t finish it! This time I tried the Porridge that I have always been unsure of. Although I stepped on the cinnamon flavor, it was still good overall! The Sweet Corn Fritter ordered by my friend was also good~ ​

A century-old restaurant in Melbourne on the Yarra River, the history of the restaurant can be traced back to 1902, when the Zampelis family from Greece came to Melbourne and founded this seafood restaurant. But it doesn&#39;t look like an old restaurant, a typical Australian restaurant with a bit of style. The interior is elegant and the outdoor is lazy.

💁&zwj;♂️Service: It was sunny in the summer evening, so we chose the outdoor. It is said that the restaurant should be reserved, but we came very early and there was almost no one, so we could choose a non-reserved seat. However, the waitress took us directly to the wall seat, ignoring our desire to face the river. Fortunately, I asked a young man again, and he confirmed that there was a view seat, so he immediately arranged a riverside seat. Later, he introduced himself as Peter and served our table all the time.

🍽️Taste: The menu for three people is &quot;Mussels&quot;, &quot;Seafood Rice&quot;, &quot;Vegetable Salad&quot;, &quot;Steak&quot; (two portions are enough), with additional appetizer bread. The quality is beyond words, the beer is cool, the breeze is not dry, and it is a satisfying meal.

💰Value for money: Three people spent $345, equivalent to about RMB 1,500.

After looking around, this is probably one of the better steak houses in Madison. We made reservations in advance, but it&rsquo;s not really necessary.
The appetizer half dozen oysters were very fresh 🦪 and delicious! The beef tartare was average, the meat was a bit dry, I didn&rsquo;t feel it was up to standard, I didn&rsquo;t like it
The A5 wagyu was pretty good, but 100 for 2oz is really not cheap!
The lobster was just average, it was overcooked and not very tender, it was just average, the lobster tail was burnt, what can I say, the lobster at this price is pretty bad, I also ordered the wet aged steak, it was well prepared, but maybe because I had already eaten wagyu, I thought it was just average
The creme br&ucirc;l&eacute;e was just average
The wine list was good, the service was OK, the environment was OK

Grill steak seafood, right in the city center, in a crowded alley, the scallops are very good after being grilled, and everyone says kangaroo meat is weird [picking nose], with a glass of red wine, watching the Australian Open live, a leisurely night [snickering] ​
