Dim Sum @ Victoria Park

As mentioned in the previous post, Victoria Park has many Asian restaurants dotted along the busy Albany Highway due to its proximity to both Perth city center and Curtin University. And it offers an alternative place for people craving for Dim Sum without having to caught up in traffic jam and struggling to find a parking spot in the overcrowded Northbridge or Chinatown.

You can have equally delicious Dim Sum in Emma's Seafood & Dim Sum Restaurant at Victoria Park. The ambiance of the restaurant’s interior is a fusion of East meets West. This place is popular for their lunch or dinner dim sum. As with all other Dim Sum restaurants, waitresses will push their carts around and you just pick whichever dishes that look appealing to you. 

Among the delicious Dim Sum includes: scallop dumpling, egg tart, bbq pork buns, rice flour rolls and deep fried squid tentacles.

Address: 886, Albany Highway, Victoria Park, WA, 6100, Australia.

Roast Pork Rice @ Victoria Park

Victoria Park is indeed a wonderful place for food with its proximity to Perth city center and yet without the traffic chaos of the CBD. Another major plus point is that parking here are all free! There are plenty of car parks along the street or the nearby huge open car park of Coles shopping center.

Many Asian students live in this area due to its close distance to Curtin University. As a result, Asian restaurants mushrooming along the vibrant Albany Highway to cater to this demand. One of them is the Good One BBQ. Its specialties are Chinese BBQ Hong Kong style.

You can't dine at a Chinese BBQ restaurant without ordering the roast/BBQ meat as it's their specialty after all. The roast pork hanging in the window was particularly enticing to look at and that’s exactly what I ordered. It is a typical Chinese BBQ restaurant where you can listen with drooling anticipation as the chef chopped the meat for your order with a bone-crunching cleaver striking the meat on a thick wooden chopping block. The roast pork is crisp crackling on top followed by a band of soft melting fat, with the thickest layer being salty, meaty and juicy pork. 

My short and brief recommendation is that their Roast Pork Rice is a must try. With only A$10 per plate, it is more than enough for one person. The best time to try this dish is during lunch time when the roast pork are still fresh right from their kitchen behind.
