With the venue and service being unchanged for decades, the daily freshly baked Italian delights paired with fine Italian coffee is what makes this place so great. Nay. An institution.

The Domestic Traveller Tours – Day 1
When my fellow foodie and good friend from Tasmania, Louis, decides to come down and do a food tour of Melbourne – I was charged with showing off the best and most mouth watering foods on offer.
Here’s that massive list!
To be fair, after writing this post, I had to go through and break them up into individual days. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have given the tour the justice it deserved. And without further ado..

Melbourne: Kedai Satay
First of all, I’ve never really tried Indonesian and my foray in to it by a good friend of mine (hat tip BT) was more than I could ever hope for.
Location: 186 King street, Melbourne 3000.
You know what I have to just cut to the chase. The food was served so fast that I thought that the quality was going to be compromised. But no. This was by far the most delicious meal that I had. The grilled beef ribs with steam rice, sambal and salad was so so so SO delicious. Even now, I can taste the food coating in the back of my throat and the smells are making me drool.
Nothing can prepare you for it. Seriously.
I thought I would not be full, but by the end of it, I was filled to hilt. And the price? $12.
Do yourself a favour, just go there and you won’t be disappointed.
I’m so excited that I have to give this place a resounding 5/5.
And it’s a one man kitchen. The efficiency of a well run operation just swelled my heart with pride. A few places, across multiple industries could learn a thing or two from this restaurant.
