The search for crab noodles ended at Pacific House Restaurant as the one that we visited in our last visit was closed indefinitely.
Thanks to Tracy and Hence who helped to make reservation on the same day and so we made our way there for dinner.
The place was starting to get busy when we arrived at about 630pm.

We placed our orders promptly and staff quickly went away and to re-appear when the dish was ready to be served. Everything arrived fairly quickly as more and more diners started to pour in. The atmosphere was bustling and lively!

| Roast Meat Platter; Chicken, Pork and Duck |
 |
| roast chicken |
The roast chicken was succulent and tasty with chopped spring onions and scallion oil drizzled on it.
 |
| crispy roast pork |
The roast pork was a mixture of meaty and fatty of around 50-50 ratio. The skin was crackling. Duck was enjoyable too as the meat was not tough.

And for a balanced meal, one should order vegetables. But, stir-fry vegetables in Melbourne is expensive at around $20 and above per plate. Funny thing was, the staff asked us if we would like the stir-fry vegetable with beef. It was immediately turned down as the group felt that we had too much meat already. But hor, just needed to top up additional $2 to get the vege with the beef.... *cries*

| salt and pepper calamari |
The calamari was tender and the seasonings were nice. Made me feel like having an ice cold beer.

| Crab Noodles (market price) |
The Crab Noodles here, seemed to be slightly more oily and had less 'broth' as compared to the Box Hill version. Taste wise, I liked it. Flavourful and finger licking good.
Our group of 4 pax left the restaurant with full and happy bellies. We spent about AUD189 for all the above which worked out to around AUD47 per pax.
As we were walking back towards our car, we noticed another shop nearby called "Singa Pura King of Hawkers". Interesting!
