Hey Jamie its called Rock Kung

RK is FARKEN GREAT!!

My favourite dish there is the Ginger Lobster with noodles

The duck is ok, but the pork is really nice (BBQ or Roast, they are both great)

In Vic Street my fav is Ha Long Bay and Pacific House. There is a good noodle soup place there too Thi Thi 2?..the one upstairs.

In chinatown you cant go past Ling Nam....although after the health inspection, its just not the same :-D

For duck. Old Kingdom in Collingwood reigns SUPREME!!!

For Thai my favourite used to be Kra Ra Ton in Russel st, but after it changed owners a year or so ago, it went down hill.

im sure i have more places, but just cant remember them :-D

Is this the place that brings out the same duck 3 or 4 times for different courses, ending in the skeletal system becoming a soup?

If so, a colleague said it was the best duck place in Melb. The chef is supposed to be hilarious too. Funny like good chefs in a Tepanyaki restaurant.

I didnt grow up in melbourne, but everywhere I've had peking duck (brisbane, sydney, adelaide) they always make 3 things with it. I was always told that duck is brought to life 3 times, or some such shit, and whenever peking duck was ordered they would ask what else you wanted it in, i.e you could get peking duck, the rest of the duck in fried rice, and then the bones in soup. But I cant find anywhere here that does it. When I ask they just look at me like I'm stupid, haha. I went to pacific house tonight and they didnt know what I was talking about (food was nice though). Has anyone who grew up here heard of this? Is there anywhere that does it?

i just saw the post about a place in collingwood, but I mean is it uncommon for places to serve it in this fashion?

Rock Kung would probably revive the duck 3 times, but only because they didn't kill it properly. But seriously, you can get bone soup there though, so they'll probably do the duck bone soup.

Thats the place, but the soup is first. Followed by the Peking Duck, then the Shredded Duck in Beanshoots (or noodles whatever you prefer)

It IS the best duck place in Melbourne, BUT you have to book in advance AND order the ducks(s) at least 24 hours in advance

oh...and never over order the duck......the dude gets angry. He is hilarious, but is very serious about his duck

Best soup there is the Crab Meat & Sweet Corn soup....followed closely by the Hot & Sour

man im making myself hungry

Yes, Old Kingdom WAS one of the best PEKING DUCK place in Melbourne. However, the original owner has sold his business. Haven't been there since. But you definitely need to order the duck in advance.

Noticed this Chinese restaurant last night in Heathmont and couldn't resist a photo op.

Qn is... Would you eat there??

LOL! SHATIN

I think they mean "Sha Tin". Its a suburb in Hong Kong on the KCR (Tram Lines) going towards the country sides.

They probley named the restaurant after it.

Yeah you can have a laugh at some of the Asian names cuz sometimes it just does not make the correct translations.

When you eat at a Chinese restaurant, trditionaly the whole duck is used for 3 main dishes.

1. The duck skin and a bit of meat wrapped with the small pieces of vegetables, spring onions and Hoi Sin sauce.

2. The duck meat with fried noodles.

3. The duck bones to make a duck soup.

As you know Peking or Beijing (Same name / meaning, different pronounciation) is a place in China, so the dish is named after the place, Beijing Roast Duck.

Cool!

I know a whole bunch of ppl that always go for lunch at Chilli Cafe on Russell St, but I'm not a fan of Thai so I'm always cranky pants when they go there :D Apparently it's quite cheap and really good though.

Japanese on the other hand.. sooo yummy.. but always starving again 3hrs later..

Favourite places are atami in preston, matsumoto on lygon, torimatsu on king st and uni sushi in university hill (bundoora).. oh and can't forget Koko at crown!! Though last time I went service was a bit crap..

Still can't find a great chinese place down here, that can compare to this great place in Sydney my family used to go to when I was growing up. Closest one so far is Peking Inn in Bundoora... but still not overly fussed with the quality of meat... it's always that thin, tough kinda chinese crap everywhere we go.

Lots of places say 'fillet steak' but it hardly ever is :D

Had lunch with Alex at a chinese place on Russell the other week.. lucky he was with us caus the waiters didn't speak much english lol. I guess you know it's good if chinese ppl mostly eat there..

while its not asian, check out Rich Maha in Burwood for some awesome Malaysian/Sri Lankan food. They do Mi Gorengs, Nasi Gorens, Kwae Teow and Teh Tarik.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
