Eating Out: Old Town Cafe [273 Swanston Street Melbourne, 3000]

Quick dinner with friends. Never would have thought of coming here, friends chose it. I like Old Town Kopitiam better, however these two places are completely different, they specialise in different cuisines. Took me a good 5-10 mins to decide on what I wanted since I couldn't see anything they specialised in.

Roast Duck Noodle Soup $8.90

Likes: Decent sized duck pieces

Lots of noodles

They give you a dish for bones

MSG Soup

Dislikes: Not a lot of duck

Duck kind of drowned in my soup, rather have it on the side.

Iced Soya Milk with Grass Jelly $2

Only $2 if you order a main meal, otherwise it's $3 something.

Likes: The combination

Dislikes: Crappy soya milk

Hard to eat grass jelly

Had to resort to putting my ice cubes into my soup just so I could get to the jelly

Coconut House's Soya Milk is much much better, freshly made is always better.

Black Bean Beef Rice $8.90

Seafood Noodle Soup $9.90

Fish Ball Noodle Soup $8.90

Vegetable Tom Yum Noodle Soup $8.90

Smelt delicious.

Sizzling Seafood Combination $11.50

Food: 7/10 Based on what I had. Not a great roast duck or drink.
Service/Environment: 8/10 We got squished into the corner although the place wasn't even remotely full. Waitresses were keen. My noodles come out pretty slow considering there were no other orders at the time...waitresses kept asking the kitchen where the noodles were.
Value: 7.5/10 Food is of average value considering quality and quantity. Drinks are cheap, however quality may be compromised.
Accessibility: In the heart of the city. Right next to Swanston/Lonsdale St Maccas.
