Some of our friends let us know that a halal restaurant had opened not far from my house. This news made me happy because there are very few or almost no halal restaurants here, I mean around Burwood in Victoria. And reportedly they already have a lot of customers, whether through eat in or “take away”. I think the location is very good because it is near Deakin University where there are quite a lot of Muslim students. We ordered mapo tofu and lamb skewers which were very soft and spicy. Our friend ordered one of the noodle dishes which came out in a big portion, and beef ribs which were very tender, spicy and delicious. This really satisfied our stomachs, because I have tried food from Uighur places and this place is surprisingly tasty. The room is not so big but neatly organized, the wait staff are friendly and the decors is lovely with large halal signs on the walls. Enjoy.

Ada beberapa kenalan kami yang memberitahu bahwa telah dibuka halal restaurant yang tempatnya tidak jauh dari rumahku. Berita ini sangat menggembirakan karena sangat sedikit atau hampir tidak ada restaurant halal disini. Maksudku disekitar Burwood di Victoria. Dan kabarnya mereka sudah banyak mempunyai pelanggan, makan ditempat atau “ take away”. Aku rasa tempatnya sangat bagus karena dekat Deakin University dimana lumayan banyak mahasiswa Muslim disana. Kami mulai memesan mapo tofu dan sate daging kambing yang sangat lembut dan spicy. Teman kami memesan noodle keluar dengan porsi yang besar, dan iga sapi yang sangat empuk, spicy & lezat. Ini benar-benar membuat puas makan siang kami karena aku telah mencoba menu-menu makanan yang berasal dari Uighur, tempat ini memberikan “surprise taste” yang berbeda. Ruangan tidak begitu besar tapi teratur rapih , pelayanan ramah dan dekorasi yang menarik adalah tulisan halal yg besar didinding. Selamat mencoba.
