After leaving New Zealand four days ago we arrived in Melbourne early evening on Friday the 16th, the following is one of our food restaurant experiences.
On our flight we were chatting to a local Melbournian who suggested a couple of great places to eat so we decided to try Chin Chin, Asian inspired restaurant. On finding out where it was located we left our beautiful hotel the Langham, situated on the Southbank, and walked for a good half hour...arriving at the restaurant only to be told that "sorry we are full and have 95 waiting to come in"... Now that is a business to own!!! We went back on Sunday night and lucky enough we were able to get a table...now I know why this place is so popular...delicious Thai inspired food, amazing service and the ambiance incredible so if you are going to Melbourne go to Chinn Chinn, 125 Flinders Lane! You won't be disappointed!
As we were not able to get into Chinn Chinn on Friday night we decided to go to a Chinese Restaurant that we had previously been to, our memory of this restaurant was good! First impression didn't feel right however proceeded because of what we remembered... lesson learnt trust your intuition irrespective, our meal was not very enjoyable...won't be going against our feelings from now on!!!
