Momofuku did not invent bao! It actually comes from China and it has been selling in Melbourne's Chinatown since probably its inception.

Oh my! You are quite amazing for sharing this! And we really couldn't agree more. This place is amazing and I'd be back again and again. I don't think I've met any traveler to Melbourne that doesn't know or LOVE this place. They deserve all the love and tears you shed! Happy to stand close by with tissues/serviettes in hand in support.

Thanks so much! We are glad you enjoy our posts =).

You definitely make a good point about the strong pork flavour. I've noticed this with most meats in Australia, especially when I have your beef here. I guess it's a preference based on what you're use to =).

Thanks again for visiting! We've got plenty more to post about! So much good food in Sydney!!

I am afraid that as a Sydney resident when I visit Melbourne I pick my days according to when the market is open and my hotel according to proximity to this damned stand. Last time I went I swore i was not going to allow to happen to me what happens every time. I bought my bratwurst and walked with it into the next aisle where there are cheese and bread and deli stands - OK so far. Then I took a bite into the bratwurst. Within seconds the tears of joy were in my eyes yet again. The food cheese bread vegetables fish meat in Melbourne is fabulous, quite overwhelmingly so. But the bratwurst stand is the only place that for me gets nine points out of five. It is way way off the scale, like visiting Holy Ground. Charter a plane and bring your family friends and even people you don't like. This from a man who lived in Berlin and Cologne. And then there is the coffee not far away, Tasmanian malt whisky, Victorian beer on tap and a superb Rembrandt at the art gallery the other end of the city.

This is an awesome blog :)

I agree with your comment on Din Tai Fung being overrated in Sydney, but I do really love their branches in Asia. What you noticed with the strong pork flavour I think is inherent to Australian pork. I've found that pork in Asia does not have that strong taste which I don't really like!
Keep the posts coming. The photos are wonderful!!

Unfortunately we're not in the area, so I can't confirm this. Though I did hear rumours that the original owners have only moved a few shops down the road.

It was very nice! That along with the grilled corn. Everything else was quite average.

Heard nothing but good stuff about Revel. We talked about it on our podcast recently: http://mysterymeet.org/find-di.... I'd love to go check it out!

Winnie! I love that you took pictures of all the different selection of donuts! Makes me feel as though I was there =)

Very true! That being said, in Australia, dining out is quite pricey. An average bowl of pho is about $10, whereas in Canada you can find Pho for around $6 a bowl. It's quite a price shock when visiting Australia for us Canadians. If you read one of our previous entries on sushi in Sydney... it almost hurts!

So at $6 for a highly talked about and famed bratwurst joint, that was reasonable.

Thanks for commenting! And welcome to our blog.

Interesting! I wonder how the taste would compare. I mean, it's not like the bratwurst is sourced from the same place...

Re: Bratwurst Shop & Co [Melbourne, Australia]

yyzmel — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:10:25 -0000

By Canadian standards, this is expensive. The identical bratwurst or a spicy Italian sausage from a Toronto sausage street cart would be $4.50 at most, with almost any condiment you want available via self-service.

This one was particularly good. They ARE known by many as the best pho in Melbourne. I haven't had "the best pho in Vancouver" so I'm not too sure. But I have to say their noodles are way better than anything I've had back home. I do have a biased towards our Canadian beef back home though! So it's a tough one!

How does it compare to Pho in Vancouver?

I spent four years in Misawa, Japan when I was in the Air Force. I'm now back in the States and pregnant and finding myself craving a three cheese beef bowl triple spicy from Sukiya! I need to find a good recipe, I don't see a trip to Japan in my near future :(

Hi John, Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience! The day before they had called us to remind us of the reservation. We felt the service wasn't absolutely stellar, after all, I gave a rating 2/5.
