I found myself marvelling at the wonderful food I’ve had on my recent business trips.
At this small vietnamese shop, I’ve had the best chips(fries), ever. Of a standard thick cut, it is so soft on the inside and crispy (but not overly crispy or dry) on the outside. A perfect temperature and texture, and seasoned aptly!
Then down in Melbourne, I came upon a small cafe that has the most delicious southern fried chicken burger – so juicy and tender inside, easy to bite through and fried deliciously on the outside. It had been a long while since I’ve had chicken burder that wasn’t stringy or tended towards flakey on the inside!
I then chanced upon the most perfect non-italian pizza shop in Carrum Downs, which does make pizza with pineapple on top! They are not the flat-crusted pizza type. However, the pizza had a soft and fluffy base, and tastes like a cloud. Generous amounts of cheese so that when you lift a slice, tasty strings of melted cheese appear! The most important thing? Nothing on the crust is burnt, and it was delicious, and I didn’t realise what I’d been missing all these years eating pizza with oft-burnt crust! 🙂
The shop was quite empty when I walked in, but the front entrance made me grin. It had a neon sign spelling “You can’t make everyone happy, you’re not pizza!” and the year for when the pizza shop was started (They’ve been in business for almost 30 years)!
All these shops served such wonderful, well-prepared food that I felt compelled to write 5-star reviews for them, knowing just how hard it is to get organic traffic these days. One of the owners gave a heart reaction back, and I’m so glad I could support good businesses with just a small gesture on my part. 😀
