🇦🇺 Melbourne Preston Restaurant Tua Thong — traveler post in Preston

🇦🇺 Melbourne Preston Restaurant Tua Thong

#Overseas travel #Melbourne #Melbourne travel #Melbourne restaurants 🇦🇺 Preston, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia 🧡 Tua Thong Thai Restaurant During my trip to Melbourne, Australia, I stayed in a place called Preston, which is a little bit away from the city. So I explored a good restaurant in the Preston area. It was a Thai restaurant called Tua Thong Thai Restaurant, which my Thai friend recommended. I ordered seafood fried rice, grilled pork neck, fried noodles, and two bottles of Thai beer, and paid $84. It wasn't cheap, but it was delicious. I had a bite of grilled pork with a cold beer as an appetizer, and it felt like the fatigue of the day was gone. The fried rice was also full of seafood. Also, the fried noodles were salty and delicious. Everyone from the chef to the server was Thai, so I felt like I was visiting Thailand. There are a lot of Asian restaurants in Preston, near Melbourne, Australia, but if you want Thai food, visit Tua Thong Thai Restaurant 🧡

#Overseas travel #Australia #Australian travel #Melbourne 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia 🍲 Phuong Nam I am currently traveling in Melbourne, Australia. I booked a place to stay in Preston, Melbourne, and I would like to introduce Phuong Nam, a famous restaurant in Preston, Melbourne, Australia, which I visited for dinner on the first day of my trip to Melbourne. Phuong Nam is a Vietnamese restaurant that sells a variety of menus, including Vietnamese rice noodles and Vietnamese rice dishes. I wanted to eat Vietnamese pork, so I ordered the Pork Chop Combination. It comes with chewy rice, pork ribs, and various side dishes, and it costs 16 Australian dollars, which is good value for money. The sweetly seasoned pork was soft and went very well with the rice. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. If you are looking for a delicious Vietnamese restaurant during your trip to Melbourne, I highly recommend Phuong Nam!

Calm and Comfy at Novotel Preston

#hotelreview #awesomepic #vianasjourney This hotel is slightly away from busy and big road. So no need to worry that much about traffic noises from your room. But despite being slightly away from city central, it’s still convenient to travel to the city as the bell station is about 7 minutes away. Woolworth is also nearby, about 10-15 minutes walk and Preston Market is around 1km from the hotel. It is an enjoyable stay, I appreciate that it’s away from the crowd and noises.

🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia vacation at Novotel 💙

#Ho-kangs #Australia #Melbourne 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia 🚩Novotel Melbourne Preston I visited Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This time, I stayed at Novotel Melbourne Preston. Preston is not in the city area, but you can get to the city in 30 minutes by train or bus, and it is close to the airport, so it is a good place to stay on the first or last day of your trip to Melbourne. Novotel is a global chain, so it was clean and comfortable. There was a swimming pool in the building next to Novotel Preston, so you could use it if you bought drinks or food. There was a smart TV in the room, so you could connect your phone to it and watch a movie while enjoying your vacation, and there were various seats in the lobby, so it was good to read a book or use your laptop. I highly recommend Novotel Melbourne Preston, a quiet and secluded Melbourne vacation hotelㅎㅎ

Melbourne Museum

A fantastic museum experience! The entire exhibition hall was beautifully designed, offering an immersive and interactive experience suitable for people of all ages. It allowed for close-up observation of dinosaur fossils and showcased different periods of Australian culture. I recommend allocating 4 to 5 hours for a visit.

Carlton Gardens

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.

Melbourne Skydeck

I have completed summit of various tallest buildings and observatory decks. However Eureka Towers lacks the punch or experience and assuming that I was never designed from a commercial aspects. However being jn CBD, it does offer some spectacular views and photographic opportunities. But challenge always remains that Wearher should support u. The GenZ experiences like EDGE and VR are there but can be much better. Felt they are not value for money.

Melbourne Zoo

Can see all the native animals at one place. No need to travel to Western Australia to see Quokkas.

SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

It was such a nice experience to visit the aquarium in Mel! Our girl definitely had lots of fun locating all the residents and stamping them in our booklet. It is quite a big space to see various kinds of fish and sea life.

National Gallery of Victoria

The National Gallery of Victoria is an absolute must-visit when in Melbourne! As Australia’s oldest and most visited art museum, NGV effortlessly blends history, culture, and creativity under one magnificent roof. From classical masterpieces to bold contemporary installations, every exhibit is thoughtfully curated to spark curiosity and inspiration. One of the highlights was the stunning Great Hall with its dazzling stained-glass ceiling—lying beneath.
