THAI @ YING THAI 2

many Thai recommended this place to me, they claimed that it is the BEST thai restaurant in melbourne
it is located at lygoon street
i always wanted to try but lazy
so happened today got the feeling of eating it, so here i come, together with my awesome best friend, LIHUI!
anyway, it is just a small shop!
the decoration is super colourful!
to be frank, it don't look posh and you literally won't notice this shop when you pass by

we went there at 5.30pm (i know it is early but we are hungry after whole day of class!)
however, can you believe the place is packed already?

anyway, according to the reviews from urbanspoon, it is like super spicy!
I DON"T THINK SO! maybe because we only ordered pad that and tom yam soup.
it is not that spicy after all

Tom Yam Soup in Hot Pot with Chicken

the serving is huge (everything in Australia is in big portion)

not spicy nor sour!!

This is around $15

their famous PAD THAI!

the so called MUST TRY food if you come here!

it is sweet and spicy to me!

i choose pad thai with pork since we have chicken in the tom yam soup!

it is a great experience to have thai food!

to a student, it might be quite expensive but the portion is big

we cannot finish it and i even take away the leftover pad thai as lunch tomorrow!

Bagel! Sesame!! Cheese!!!

First bagel in melbourne! 

Toasted sesame bagel! With cream cheese

I m at Vincent the dog!
Near lygon street.  Actual address : 348 Drummond
Why am I here? Having lunch with my project mate!
All boys and I m the one girl!

Engineering don't have many girls

Some group don't even have a girl
They are all Australia and I m the only Asian

Feel any different?  Not really
I think I can be considered as a melbourian already!

Should I leave this lovely place?
Confusing. ...
If I decided to leave, I will definitely miss my friends! :-D

GOD what you mean?

God are you kidding me?
you send me all the way to melbourne and now what you mean?
going back to square one?
i just randomly choose one and i get it!
and it is among the hot course
i have prayed for direction for a long time, is this your plan for me?

i am really confused!
last sunday, pastor talk about break through
he mentioned that break through belongs to those who don't have a choice
i am really motivated by the talk
plus i really want to experience break through and grow more!
now, you are giving me another choice!
is that a break through for me?

did you notice the date?
it is on my birthday!!
does that means anything? or just so happened?
one of my birthday wishes is to now what i really want.

last friday, during UL, we talked about dreams
i wrote in the "dream card" that i want to experience God and grow more
is this the plan for me?

in melbourne, i really feel that i grow a lot, especially spiritually
i got to know you more!
comparing me back in Malaysia, i m now completely a different person!
i notice my changes because of you
now, are you telling me to go back?
can i know you more even if i go back?
is coming melbourne for a short period is your plan for me?
does NUS really suit me?
is chemical engineering really the best for me?

i know you know me more than myself and you already have plans for me, but please tell me!!

this is what Issac like the most!

it is cheesy and wrap with ebiko(fish eggs)!

to be it is a Japanese food!

quite special!

Sean highly recommened this!

KIMCHI PANCAKE!

the portion is very big

you can be super full after eating this!

Steam Pork!

Lihui's favourite!

yet, to me, so-so! maybe because i don't really like to eat pork belly!

it taste more like chinese food

I am not sure of the price of it!

but the total bill is around $80

i guess mainly because of the rice wine (rice wine is $$$)

just in case you cannot find the restaurant : 407/409 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Tarng AGAIN!!

so, why i come here again since i said the food is not really nice?
because today is Issac's birthday! (happy 20th birthday issac!)
and Sean wanted to go for korean food after his first visit to PlanetShaker
Rebbecca is the one who suggested this place and she claimed it is nice!
Then, I am here!

i realised that the menu is different from last time, maybe because i come at lunch hour?
i don't really know
anyway, Rebbecca knows what to order!

KIMCHI!

sorry to say, but theirs dont taste nice at all!

do you watch "my love from the star"?

this is the SPICY FRIED CHICKEN!

it is nice!

but i think Oriental Spoon is better! =P

Soy Bean Soup!

not spicy because Issac cannot take spicy food!

but, i really like to drink korean soup!

this one i don't know what it is called~

it is a bit like CJ lunch's Cheesy Bulgogi!
