Gonna get all dem buns!

Hello guys! And once again I am back for another South Melbourne Market review but this time we are going Chinese. These buns are from Bambu and I went for the outside stall, which is for take outs while its eating there area is opposite from this stall, and both of them have quite a long line so you got to go there when the opportunity arrives. I had the pork bun for $5.50 and the custard buns which comes in 2, for $6.00 and they were different from the usual. What’s different about the pork bun is that they pour what I think is sweet soy sauce in the middle of the bun, which has a hole so it is mixed with the tender pork meat. And for the custard buns, they pour a lot of kaya sauce all over the buns so prepare some wet tissues before you eat this because it is going to get messy! But keep in mind that the custard inside the bun is not the gooey, spills out like fondue type but the chewy type. These are perfect for when you want a quick bite because there are different types of buns you can choose from 😋

That is all for this review! Thanks for reading, I would definitely love to hear your recommendation for any places with tasty buns or dim sums!

Macaroons!

As promised before, this post is going to be on desserts in South Melbourne Market! Obviously, it’s a given that the dessert I am going to talk about is macaroons😝. After stuffing our faces with oysters, we decided to walk around the market. I found a little deli called Emerald and they had all kind of desserts, brownies, lemon slices, macaroons, rocky road and more! I decided to get a couple of macaroons to go. The macaroons were hugeeee and the picture honestly doesn’t do justice as to how big they were. They cost $3 each which is quite cheap considering the size. As for the taste, the milo one honestly tasted nothing like milo and I did not enjoy it at all, however, the Belgian Chocolate was to die for!😍 It wasn’t too sweet, it was perfect. I would definitely get more when I go back. Let me know down in the comment if there’s any other desserts I should try out! Till next time, foodies!

South Melbourne Market!

Hi everyone! Over the weekend, a group of friends and I went over to South Melbourne Market to try out some oysters and sea urchin. It was my first time there and I was shocked by the crowd! There was people queuing up in almost every single food stall. We decided to have some hot food before having oysters so I decided to try out a chicken burrito. The burrito was really good but quite messy to eat, I ended up getting it all over me😫. It cost $12 dollars and you can choose between chicken and pork.

After the burrito, we went over to the oyster bar! The oysters and sea urchin looked so fresh!😍 The store served their oysters in trays but you can also get them in singles if you’re not sharing. The oysters cost $1.67 each and I definitely think it was worth the price. I could only eat 3 as I was so full from the burrito. The stall also provided lemon slices, soy sauce and other kind of sauces at their tables for patrons that plan on eating their oysters there! I also tried a little bit of sea urchin for the first time which I quite liked but I am not sure if I love it. The texture was different but it worked with the soy sauce. One of my friend did not like it though so I am guessing it is one of those things where you either hate it or love it?😂 The sea urchin cost $8 each. I would suggest trying it out if you have not already.

Let me know if you guys have tried the oysters and sea urchins before and if you haven’t, would you? The next post is going to be on desserts that you can find at South Melbourne Market! So if you’ve got a sweet tooth like me, stay tuned!😚
