Kum Den Chinese Restaurant

1. This was the first restaurant we went to in Melbourne, we chanced upon it while looking for a place that wasn’t too packed but wasn’t too empty. It seems chinese restaurants are the same Australia wide, the prerequisite father/mother figure manning the door asking how many to seat, the terrible out-of-date decor that is such a jumble it’s essentially timeless, and the masses of young underlings taking orders, serving food and clearing tables. The food is much the same as well, I mean that in a good way, like a group of jazz musicians playing the standards. I had to try the Salt and Pepper Squid (sweeter than what I’ve had in Sydney, and is more chilli than pepper), and we had a few other dishes I can’t recall, but the food was excellent and the service prompt. We had a bit of difficulty attracting the waiter for our bill, it was almost as if they didn’t want us to pay. Despite that, it was a great place for a cheap dinner.
