Story: Plates Worth the Wait
Episode: 9
Presenter: Lauren Campbell
Air Date: 13th August

Lauren explores Vic Park to seek out some of the area’s best treats, hidden or in plain sight.

• Lola’s Filipino Diner serves a range of hearty Pinoy meals that are authentic, full of flavour, and served in a fun little diner setting that really reflects the vibrance of their country’s origins.
• From the communal Kamayan style banana leaf plates to the upgraded cheeseburger lumpia, Lola’s intends to serve food that harkens back to the owner’s upbringing, but mixing in a more contemporary flavour to suit the tastes of tomorrow.
• If you’re looking to take control of your own meal, try out hotpot at David’s Hotpot. After choosing from a range of soup broths and starry bases, you have a choice of fresh ingredients, from vegetables, right down to seafood.
• Based around the idea of MaLaTang hotpot originating in the spice capital of China, Sichuan, Hot Pot is about great taste and easy eating. All your ingredients goes into the pot for you to cook and eat at your own leisure. You even get to say you cooked your own meal. Win-win!
• No visit to Vic Park is complete without a sweet treat to cap off the day, which is why Yo-chi is a great go-to dessert spot. With its self-serve nature and a wide selection of 98% fat-free frozen yoghurts and other fresh fruit and sugary toppings, it’s hard to miss.
