Lunch catch up

Where: Chatterbox, Melbourne
When: Lunch - September 22
Occasion: Birthday Lunch
Wine: None
Website: N.A

It's nice to return to an old favourite and to find the flavours, prices and hard of hearing lady at the cash register are still the same. At a former employer I was making weekly trips to Chatterbox and sampled a good portion of the menu. I even delved into the baine marie a few times for the 'specials'. I never trust a baine marie without visible steam, so it's nice to see a few whisp rising from between the cracks. As i hadn't been in a while i simply couldn't go past one of my favourite dishes, my yard stick Malaysian dish Ipoh Hor Fun. I wasn't disappointed. A delicious mix of noodles, meats and veg was put in front of me. I had to capitulate and grasp a spoon because chop sticks weren't getting enough of flavours into my mouth. My colleague, wary of the baine marie also opted for noodles, char kway teow. I hear that they too were delicious. I'd also strongly recommend the curry and roti special, the roti is fantastic but add a serve of rice for a dollar to make it a filling meal.

  1. i never trust baine marie full stop. but you are a right, a steamless baine marie is particularly untrustworthy.

  2. I think you'll find that your colleague had the Singapore Noodles (distinctly thin noodles). Char Kway Teow comprises a broad egg noodle. Both are delicious.

    Cheers,

    Colleague
