Melbourne+Multicultural+Cuisine

= Welcome To Brian's Page On Melbourne's Multicultural Cuisine! =

= = =__|Back to Homepage|__ = == =Melbourne's Cultural Precincts = = Melbourne is a food lover's wonderland! From cafes and coffee shops to literally thousands of restaurants. The city's restaurants range from take-away, mid-range and fine dining. There are also many different ethnic groups that showcase their food throughout the city and suburbs. These include Asians, Europeans and other diversified cultures. With the varied ethnic groups coming to Melbourne we were lucky enough to experience a lot of different cuisines which include Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Greek and the list goes on. = Melbourne is made up of many different precincts and within these precincts you will find lots of history and culture. The two main food precincts in the CBD are Chinatown and Lonsdale Street. I will also be mentioning a few streets and places that are not in the CBD, but are equally important to the cultural development of food in Melbourne.

 Cafes in Melbourne also cater for eating and dining outside and I say, "Why Not!" Most cafes and restaurants have tables and chairs by the footpath. With Melbourne's pleasant though unpredictable weather, why sit indoors if you can sit outside and watch time slowly tick by, whilst sipping on your cappuccino or eating a plate of home made pasta!  = **Lonsdale S** treet (Greek) : =

Lonsdale Street is renowned for their Greek food and culture. Melbourne is home to one of the largest Greek populations in the world outside of Athens. The Greeks based their community in Lonsdale Street since the early 1900s and have continued to share their passion for Greek food and culture over the years. Lonsdale Street is dotted with Greek taverns, bars, cafes and 'zaharoplastia' (or cake shops) . The typical Greek cuisine includes fried haloumi (saganaki), souvlakia, moussaka and sweets such as galaktobouriko, baklava and yo-yos (or koks).



Over the years the Greek precinct in Lonsdale Street has become smaller with new cultures moving into the district. Gradually, the restaurants and shops have changed as the availability of Greek products has spread to the suburbs such as Oakleigh and Clayton.

Greek food can now be purchased from some supermarkets and speciality Greek deli's dotted around Melbourne. Even so, the Greek spirit still lingers in Lonsdale Street and you can't help but feel a touch of Greece when you visit it.

The Antipodes Festival occurs in March. This festival is a Greek cultural festival over a weekend with dance, music and food available in a Greek party atmosphere. ( __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Photo To your left) __

 =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">** Lygon Street (Italian): ** =

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">During the 1900s many Italians immigrated and settled down in Carlton and other inner suburbs in Melbourne. Over the years they made Lygon Street their own. Lygon Street was the first place in Australia to embrace outdoor dining. The cafes and restaurants in Lygon Street are practically endless serving steaming plates of pasta, pizza, espresso and delicious gelati. Like in Italy, waiters stand outside the restaurants spruiking their specialties trying to lure potential customers in to taste the delights of Italian cuisine. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Lygon Street also saw the first pizza house (Toto's) to open in Australia in 1961. Lygon Street was the first place where people could purchase extra virgin olive oil and fresh mozzarella. The choice is yours when it comes to food and <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">coffees in Lygon Street and you can't go wrong because most shops are authentic and fresh. During Friday and Saturday nights the Ferraris and Alfa Romeos will cruise down the street revving their engines and showing off their rides. During March The Australian F1 Grand Prix comes to Melbourne. The Ferrari team generates excitement which peaks to a frenzy of red flags displayed in almost all of the Lygon Street shop windows.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Lygon Street is a friendly and vibrant hot spot and is a ideal place for family and friends to share a conversation and some laughter over a good meal. Lygon Street is a must-see part of Melbourne. Its unique Italian Culture and atmosphere helps to make Melbourne a multicultural mixing pot.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> Be ready to taste sweet and sour, hot and spicy because Chinatown has all of those flavors ranging from Thai, Japanese, Malaysian, Vietnamese and the list goes on. The typical Chinese food that is served in Chinatown is called 'dim sum' or 'yum cha'. It is a tradition for the elderly to gather to eat //dim sum// after morning exercises. For many in Southern China, //yum cha// is treated as a weekend family day. Dim sum restaurants typically only serve dim sum until mid-afternoon (around the time of a traditional western 3:00 p.m. coffee break).

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">literal translation of yum cha is 'drink tea', but dim sum has an interesting history <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">because 'dim' means touch and 'sum' mean heart. Dim sum originates from Southern China and Hong Kong and it is named dim sum because dim sum dishes have a high level of saturated fat and sodium. In Hong Kong it is considered a treat to have dim sum because it is not too healthy. So when they describe what it tastes like, they say it's like touching your heart and that is where the name originated. It is also really important to drink tea in dim sum because hot tea flushes the oil away from all the fried foods.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Chinatown still remains as one of the main districts for Chinese and non-Chinese people to go to have nice food and embrace the spirit of China. So overall Chinatown is a one stop shop for Asian foods.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> In 1851 Chinese people started to immigrate to Australia partly due to the gold rush and also to find a better life for their family. They traveled by ship and sailed to Australia from Hong Kong with their cargo of men to search for gold. The Chinese settled down in a small street called Little Bourke Street and later made their own little town called <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 23px;">Chinatown <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">. The rapidly growing community in Little Bourke street provided the need for food, equipment and medicine for the diggers on a larger scale. In the 1860s many Chinese people started to purchase land in Little Bourke Street to build club rooms and meeting places for the Chinese community to meet up.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Six years after the first gold discovery in Victoria the Chinese population peaked at around 42.000, most were men from See Yup (Siyi) district in <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Guangdong in southern China. As the gold slowly dried and the economy changed many people left Chinatown and most returned to China. The few who stayed back opened their own businesses to cater for the local Chinese and non-local Chinese markets.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">When the 'White Australia Policy' was introduced in 1901 it made Chinatown a dead region and Chinatown was no longer a residential place for Chinese people. The Chinese people <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> thought it was discrimination and this lead to anti-Chinese riots. The government also tried to stop the Chinese from arriving by charging them a special tax of £10 for every Chinese person to enter Victoria. When the government eased immigration laws in 1947 Chinatown started rebuilding and the Chinese people also spread their population to Melbourne's outer suburbs like <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 23px;">Box Hill and Doncaster.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Melbourne is well known for its diversity in food, however a new trend is starting to appear. Today restaurants don't only specialize in one cuisine but there are "fusions" which are mixes of two or more different cuisines. You will find most of these modern restaurants in the Docklands and C <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 23px;">hapel <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> street area. This trend is n <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 23px;">ormally <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> targeted for the younger generation with the smaller portions, loud music, and bars with modern and contemporary designs, this gives it a special ambiance for people to relax and have a nice chat with family of work friends. The quality of the food is no doubt the best and most is fresh, meaning that the day the chef buys the food is the day he cooks it. Some or most of these restaurants are tucked away in secret laneways and only open later hours.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The only problem that I can see with modern and fusion foods are that their portions are on the smaller side and overpriced. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some say quality is better than quantity. Not to distress the meat eaters who are reading this, but there are a number of very nice vegetarian restaurants that serve superb vegetarian dishes. A healthier alternative at times can make for an interesting experience.
