Pho Hien

What would you think when Vietnamese foods appear on your minds? For me I'll thinks it's dirty , lot's of people, and etc. But recently, I've been to a Vietnamese restaurant that don't have those what I mentioned awhile ago. I'm so surprised that this restaurant that located at Sunshine, VIC is very clean and good service compared to other at Richmond and Footscray.

This "Suet Feh Lai" or as known as Iced coffee is the so call a "must" order when you are at no matter which Vietnamese restaurant. My parents especially my dad will be the 1st person to order this. Don't really know why actually.

Paper prawn roll is also one of the Viet entrée dishes other than spring roll. They filled with vegetables and roll with prawns.


Today I'm going to introduce rice dishes but not noodles that selling at this small shop. This Roast chicken with tomato rice and lemon grass pork chop I found that it's slightly different from others where the skin of the roast chicken is very very crispy and it's a perfect match when you have it with the tomato rice . **Thumbs up** , my favourite.

The pork chop rice comes with the broken rice and something that hardly you can find at other shops which is the one with sin and orange layers colours on it. It's basically something like steam pork and they cute it into a cube size.

Not that bad, but I don't really like that.

Pho hien is located at those shops lot after you turn left at the traffic lights opposite gold leaf Chinese restaurant.

Hope you guys like it !!!

Pie Face

Hi everyone, it's foodiesnplaces here again to update the blog and 1st of all Happy New Year 2010.

In this year foodies and places will still continue you guys out there to search for nice foods around Melbourne and in 2 more weeks time will be starting to post nice foods up around Malaysia.

Stay tuned for all of this.

Recently, I have tried the pie face that newly opened at Swanston street Melbourne CBD. I actually don't really like to eat pie because I found that not much choices for me to choose as I'm not having beef. This pie face is founded in year 2003 at Sydney and the franchised it to Melbourne now. When you passing the shop before eating it, you can actually start to smell the nice smell of the pie skin that freshly bake everyday. The softness of the pie skin makes me to eat it continuously few days for my lunch.




The mini pie.


The normal size pie comes with few choice of beef, lamb, chicken and vegetarian for your choice.


The sweet pie.


When 1st my mum bought coffee from the pie face, I found that the name of their coffee is kinda funny where something like open my eyes and kick my arse with the face sticker on the cup as well. What a creative way.

Pie lovers or people who don't really like pies, foodiesnplaces is now telling you guys that Pie face is seriously taste good. Feel free to try it and Melburnians, this pie face shop is only located at Swanston street opposite Mc Donald.
