    Glen Waverley (sea urchin) is an Asian food heaven! The buffet is a 10 minute drive away. When you come to Melbourne, a souvlaki is what many have after a big night out. That example is what most look like. I am a lamb souvlaki all day. Great food in every suburb of Melbourne.

    At 17:55, he didn't describe the flavor. "Melts in your mouth pure flavor." What kind of flavor? Spicy, salty, sour or what? What makes it more convincing is how he says it with a flair for the dramatic which still really doesn't help.

      well i had a look at their menu and they charge $20 AUD for a "kids mac n cheese" the portion of course is kids size and looks like half (if even that) a box of kraft mac n cheese from Woolworths wich is worth $3.50 AUD so basically:
      $1.75 worth of mac n cheese
      a thumb size fried rice wrapped in a tiny sheet of seaweed
      1 strawberry, 4 grapes, and a single thin slice of an orange
      ...all for $20.
