Foodview 2.4 Suzuki's, Malvern

Suzuki's, is a new home-cooking style restaurant specialising in Hong-Kongnese and Japanese cuisines somewhere on the eastern side of Melbourne. Why do I seem unsure of the location? That's because I've sent another UAC (up-and-coming) foodviewer to report this new restaurant, Anel Bum!

Unfortunately, Anel got robbed by a bandit and her camera (along with the photos of her food review) are long gone. Don't worry, Anel... just patch up your wounds and bruises, buy a new camera and move on..... on to another career, this line of work ain't cut out for you.

Fortunately, Anel remembered to take-away food for me (left it in the boot of her car prior to her getting robbed... Good thing that bandit didn't look in the boot or my lunch would have been stolen too)

Despite being take-away, presentation is great. Unfortunately the food was not served directly from the wok and suffered from condensation in the take-away container.


Presentation is spot on. Colourful to the eye as well as the bite-sized peppers and pineapple.

Sauce is not over-powering and doesnt saturate the pieces in this dish

Meat is fresh and tender. Always a good sign of a good dish.

Anel's score
Taste : 4 out of 5
Value : 5 out of 5

Overall comments:
It is a very good dish but unfortunately the condensation from the container prevented this dish from receiving full marks. The batter which was thinly coated is a rare find. Places like Laksa King, smother teeny tiny pieces of pork in tons of batter. Very disappointing. That is why I am very strict in handing out points when it comes to reviewing Sweet and sour pork dishes. Great dish overall!
