In search of eateries

[MelonBar]

As titled I am looking for places I can go at uni (somewhere in the union house) or a nearby place preferably <10 mins away by foot or tram. I'm not fussy but I am on a budget and bigger portions = bigger smiles

I am taking advantage of bhakti yoga curries but sadly they only run once a week.

Cheers

Was that you standing in the fetching costume, holding a sign and waving to passersby today?

Haha it could have been me... We alternate, so every day that you see that costume is probably a different person.

Correct, it is now 7 days per week. And yeah, I'm a delivery driver, but you will see me instore sometimes, and you will also see me waving a sign around Swanston Street / Grattan Street at other times

not nearly as cheap but the $8 bento boxes or $7 donburis from Egg Sake Bistro are really really filling, they might deter you from buying more food later on if you can't be bothered going down to Domino's every day?

i only hear good things about that place but i still haven't been there. sadly they don't do dinner but i will mos def check it out. i need to stop subsisting on coffee

Egg bistro, that baguette place next to boost (5.50 for a good portion), Tuesday BBQ at North Court.  If you want to venture a bit further away, Cafe Royale on Royal Parade (it can get pretty busy at lunchtime though but the people are really nice and usually give you some free chips if you get a burger )

Susshhhhiii at egg sake bistro and at a very decent price!

I am very grateful on a daily basis to live on the same planet as Egg Sake Bistro.

7/11 coffees are surprisingly very good, or at least the equivalent of all the coffee on campus I've tried (which is a lot). $1 for a regular and $2 for large. It took in excess of a year to finally buy one, as automatic coffee machines usually scald the milk, and I'm also pretentious. But 7/11 coffees taste the same as any cap or latte you'd receive at Union House, and you'd save a ridiculous amount of money. It's also faster than a barista (although most coffee makers on campus are not baristas).

Admittedly I'm always too lazy to take the 1 minute walk to the 7/11 adjacent to the Sidney Myer Asia Centre.

^agreed, 7/11 coffees are too good. Puc u romano's! Theres also $3 cups now

What's up with your signature? I thought you transferred to BCom here?

Nah, the offer got withdrawn. I talked about it in this thread:

That noodle joint next to bubble cup (near foodworks) is hands down the best on campus

Really?! :O

How much is a typical dish? And are the servings generous or are they tiny?

I normally get the Nasi Goreng or the Singapore noodles, which are 7.50 and 8 bucks respectively. They're more than enough for lunch! At the busiest point of the day the wait times can be a bit of a problem, but they do cook everything fresh in front of you whilst you wait.
