Planning a trip to Australia? Check out the tasty goodness at these restaurants:

Crown Bakery

215 Swanston Street, Melbourne

Must have: Toasted scrambled egg and bacon sandwich with salt and pepper, on whole meal bread — it’s a weighty sandwich that will leave you stuffed til mid afternoon and darned tasty too.

Also try: their cream puffs — heavy cream to puff ratio

Thresherman’s Bakehouse

221 Faraday Street, Melbourne

The must have: chocolate mud cake

Camy Shanghai Dumpling & Noodle Restaurant

23 Tattersalls Lane, Melbourne (a restaurant that is literally down a dark alley in the middle of Chinatown)

Must have: dumplings with their house-made dippings sauces, as I recall there was a cherry-soy sauce that was mightly taste.

Be prepared: the joints smells like boiled dumplings all the time

The Raw Prawn Cafe

103 Esplanade, Cairns

The must have: “A hop, skip, hump, and a jump” entree featuring crocodile, emu, camel, and kangaroo steak. (Note: ‘roo steak is tastiest hot, so don’t eat that steak last.”
