ATAR Notes Food Locator 2000

Magnum store in Brunei. Went there the last day of my overseas holiday at the start of the year, and was quite legitimately, an amazing experience.

Imagine this: getting to choose your flavour of magnum icecream, the type of chocolate it gets dipped in, the type of chocolate drizzle, and the toppings to go with it (anything from sea salt to marshmallows, from crushed potato chips to crushed oreo, so many choices).
All that, for about 5 Brunei dollars (about 4.50 AUD - about the price of a normal Magnum from a servo here).

Oh yeah, I'll just pop in to fucking Brunei after school Monday, sounds great!

(actually sounds rad)

Flight only takes about 7 hours, off you pop

For Bubbletea:

1. Coco (haven't seen one anywhere else but box hill but this bubble tea shop/company started in China so it's obvs good. Their shops in China make it better though).
2. Easyway

Rest probably aren't worth considering (especially chatime, that shit is scust).

Woah woah woah. Chatime's milk tea isn't worth it, but their fruity teas are probably the nicest.

Coco does a mean pearl milk tea though, can't go past it. Brown sugar milk tea at bubblecup is a bit cheap and nasty, but also good. Mate from Taiwan (where bubbletea is from) reckons they're all shit but gong cha is probably the best. Not sure I'm convinced.*

There's a coco on Swanston st btw

China Bar is actually good if you're a tight arse and like duck (only like 12 bucks for duck and rice).


If you're Geelong folk, Bistrot Plume in Belmont is hands down the most underrated restaurant around. A bit exxy, but their food is the best I've had down here.

Bistrot Plume is the bomb diggityyyy

I actually love Chatime's fruit teas-I'm making my way through them all at the moment and haven't found one that I don't like yet.

So consensus is that next AN meet up is at Bistrot Plume then 😂

Lychee is a good start if you're looking for one not to like :p




Another Geelong place: Casse-Croûte. It's just near market square and does a killer waffle/sandwich. They're also the single nicest people. I told them I was learning French (years ago) and they just gave me a shit load of French magazines.

if anyone's ever coming to Canberra

Mikebabz food truck at ANU Popup Village - I've had their HSPs 3 times already and they are pretty good! A small one is $10 but it's actually quite filling! They also come with cheese on theirs (some places I've been to don't), and the workers are super nice too! You can also choose between beef, chicken or mixed for the meat

Patissez - they have one in Canberra/near city and one in the south somewhere. They're known for their freakshakes:

but other than that they also are a nice cafe and stuff. A bit expensive, but their freakshakes are so good + quite a few diff flavours (I got a chocolate cookie flavour one last time iirc, which is 2nd of the right)! They also don't look that big when you buy it but it's actually so filling! It's $13.90 for the normal size I believe.
If you just go for a freakshake that's already enough

also, OP, would it be possible to update your main post with all the replies here, please?

I tried to go to Patissez when I was in Canberra but they were shut devo now


Akiba in Canberra is really nice. Surprisingly good food! Global Café and Bar is also surprisingly good and cheap.

Lychee is a good start if you're looking for one not to like :p

Ok I have to disagree, lychee green tea is definitely the best fruity tea from chatime

For anyone in the area- Monash Parkville has FREE waffles until 2!

Not bias (maybe cos I work there) but Boss Burger does an absolute smasher of a burg, even if you want something small or ridiculously huge. They've got 3 shops in Geelong now and would defs recommend if you're down in Gtown
