#Overseas travel #Melbourne #Melbourne travel #Melbourne restaurants 🇦🇺 Preston, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia 🧡 Tua Thong Thai Restaurant During my trip to Melbourne, Australia, I stayed in a place called Preston, which is a little bit away from the city. So I explored a good restaurant in the Preston area. It was a Thai restaurant called Tua Thong Thai Restaurant, which my Thai friend recommended. I ordered seafood fried rice, grilled pork neck, fried noodles, and two bottles of Thai beer, and paid $84. It wasn't cheap, but it was delicious. I had a bite of grilled pork with a cold beer as an appetizer, and it felt like the fatigue of the day was gone. The fried rice was also full of seafood. Also, the fried noodles were salty and delicious. Everyone from the chef to the server was Thai, so I felt like I was visiting Thailand. There are a lot of Asian restaurants in Preston, near Melbourne, Australia, but if you want Thai food, visit Tua Thong Thai Restaurant 🧡

It’s quite chilly at Preston today, went to woolworths with my summer outfit and I definitely can’t stay longer outside as the wind blow cold wind. This woolworth has mostly every basic that I need and it’s around 15minutes walk from the place that I stay. If you are in Preston next time, do check this Woolworths preston South store, their option were big and the service from staff was as per standard. Also, there are some other store like Asian’s restaurant nearby that you might interested to visit that have option like dumpling. A pharmacy nearby are available too.

#Overseas travel #Australia #Australian travel #Melbourne 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia 🍲 Phuong Nam I am currently traveling in Melbourne, Australia. I booked a place to stay in Preston, Melbourne, and I would like to introduce Phuong Nam, a famous restaurant in Preston, Melbourne, Australia, which I visited for dinner on the first day of my trip to Melbourne. Phuong Nam is a Vietnamese restaurant that sells a variety of menus, including Vietnamese rice noodles and Vietnamese rice dishes. I wanted to eat Vietnamese pork, so I ordered the Pork Chop Combination. It comes with chewy rice, pork ribs, and various side dishes, and it costs 16 Australian dollars, which is good value for money. The sweetly seasoned pork was soft and went very well with the rice. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. If you are looking for a delicious Vietnamese restaurant during your trip to Melbourne, I highly recommend Phuong Nam!

#0yentravelautumn During my stay in Melbourne, I stayed at Together Co-Living for a week. It was a comfortable place with the casual atmosphere of a dormitory, but well-equipped and comfortable. In particular, it was convenient to be able to use the gym and kitchen in the building freely, so I was able to enjoy cooking and refresh myself. The restaurant on the first floor was also delicious, making it perfect for a quick meal or coffee. The location is about a 10-minute walk from the station, and it is easy to access the surrounding area. It is a little far from the city center, but it is a quiet and calm environment, and the accommodation is clean. The room was new and very clean, so I was able to relax. I recommend this place to stay for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax in a comfortable space.

#October Good Places 2024 Publique Bakery Melbourne City Center Food Reviews Publicque Bakery in Melbourne city center can be regarded as a hidden gem. Recently we went to try their products. First tried their croissant, which was generally normal, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but nothing special, however it also met the expectations for a delicious croissant. Instead, the long-awaited signature custard danish donut collection was a bit disappointing. This series of desserts is overly greasy, especially the heavier oiliness, which is a bit burdensome after eating. The palate, while still fluffy, lacks the expected balance of refreshing and rich cream. Basically eat the finished hands are oil! Overall, Publique Bakery still has its uniqueness as a niche bakery, but if you come for the custard danish donuts, it may not fully meet your expectations.

I visited Preston Market in Victoria, Australia! Since it's a bit away from the city center, it has a homely atmosphere with many locals. The market is filled with fresh ingredients and delicious food, making it perfect for a food walk. There are a variety of shops, including organic stores and handmade soap shops, which were enjoyable to browse. Weekend events are often held, bringing together local artists and food trucks, creating a lively atmosphere. I had a fulfilling day enjoying the vibrant market atmosphere and delicious food. It's a place I want to visit again!

🔸️ Melbourne, Australia 'Publique Bakery' 📍 18 Blender La, Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia ✔️ Bakery cafe near Victoria Market (The store is inside so it's hard to see, but if you go near it, This is where people are lining up 😯) ✔️ It's famous for its pastry, but surprisingly? It was a great iced latte restaurantㅎㅎ (The best iced latte I've had in Australia🫶) ✔️ Sweet and crunchy raspberry Danish too 👍 #August travel support event #Australia travel #Melbourne cafe

#hotelreview #awesomepic #vianasjourney This hotel is slightly away from busy and big road. So no need to worry that much about traffic noises from your room. But despite being slightly away from city central, it’s still convenient to travel to the city as the bell station is about 7 minutes away. Woolworth is also nearby, about 10-15 minutes walk and Preston Market is around 1km from the hotel. It is an enjoyable stay, I appreciate that it’s away from the crowd and noises.

#Ho-kangs #Australia #Melbourne 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia 🚩Novotel Melbourne Preston I visited Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This time, I stayed at Novotel Melbourne Preston. Preston is not in the city area, but you can get to the city in 30 minutes by train or bus, and it is close to the airport, so it is a good place to stay on the first or last day of your trip to Melbourne. Novotel is a global chain, so it was clean and comfortable. There was a swimming pool in the building next to Novotel Preston, so you could use it if you bought drinks or food. There was a smart TV in the room, so you could connect your phone to it and watch a movie while enjoying your vacation, and there were various seats in the lobby, so it was good to read a book or use your laptop. I highly recommend Novotel Melbourne Preston, a quiet and secluded Melbourne vacation hotelㅎㅎ
