Hey People,

 

We do from time to time have tried some budget meals/food and have enjoyed immensely.

I wanted to know what you're experiences have been.

 

Please do not state any of the major food chains as we all know you like a good macca's burger!

I'am keen to know about those secret and some not so secret hangouts that you visit every so often for a good bite

 

I will start with mine, A Mixed Grill from From Footscray Kebab, well its $20.00 but feeds two and does very well!

I have been to "Lentil As Anything" quite a few times and I would thoroughly recommend it. It is a vegetarian place and the one I go to is based at the Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne. You only pay what you think the meal is worth and it is strictly an honour system so you just put the money in a collection box on the way out. A novel idea admittedly but I have always enjoyed the meals there even though I am not a vegetarian. I normally put 10 to 15 bucks in the box.

They also operate in St Kilda and Footscray (also in Melbourne)

I thought I'd tried most joints on Botany Road.

Luke Nguyen's Fat Noodle at the Treasury Casino, Brisbane. Everything on the menu is under $20 and great quality.

I made a prawn laksa the other night.

Four big bowls for around 15 bucks!

Wagyu beef slider at The Black Toro in Glen Waverley. $7.00 for one....

 

 

if you can stop at one!

Hmm, any in the west, looking to try you're hide-outs this weekend.

Right down towards the end/start of Botany Rd, go under Southern Cross drive, past the IGA on the right and it's on the left 100M after that. (next to a Thai restaurant). Get take-away as their service/plates are pretty ordinary and keep on driving down Botany Rd, then hang a right at the Subway and go to to the Sir Joseph Banks Park and sit there on the picnic tables and eat it. Magic.

 

Capanno's is a good Italian Restaurant near IGA also. Really friendly people in there and great food.

Actually.............this is a great joint!

Great cakes! (try the Concord)

The best Laksa that I have tasted in Oz comes from the Dickson Asian Noodle House in Canberra. Absolutely, positively the best!

Our local pie shop at Clempton Park makes the best Vanilla Slices and Sausage Rolls I've ever had.

Mr Burger. They've got a permanent shop on Chapel St and various food vans that get about. $10 basic or veggie burger ($11 for their bacon burger)
