Water Flame, Melbourne, Australia

I walk along Little Lonsdale Street several times a week and have walked past Water Flame atleast a hundred times and never went in. That changed today.

Water Flame, Melbourne, Australia

Water Flame is your pretty standard chinese restaurant, not cheap but also not overpriced.

While we decided what mains to order I asked the waitress for some starters – prawn dumplings, pork and prawn shumai, and BBQ pork buns.

By the time the dumplings had arrived we’d decided on pork ribs with peking sauce and a serve of special fried rice for our meal.

I think Water Flame is one of the better chinese resturants I’ve been to in Melbourne. The dumplings were just a good as I was eating in Hong Kong not too long ago, and the BBQ pork buns were light and fluffy with a really tasty pork filling.

And the serve of the pork ribs was huge, well cooked and tasted superb.

I’ll definitely be popping in rather than walking past in the future.
