Delivering a doorway to delights of the Orient, Nong Tang Noodle House on Bourke Street is a go to stop for inner city Melburnians. Housed on the ground level of Midcity Arcade, this restaurant welcomes diners with a sharp black and red exterior, giving way to whitewashed walls and dark furniture, accented with Oriental touches, creating a calming Zen ambiance. Kick start a sensory journey with Old Nong Tang Eight Treasures in hot sauce with pork, chicken, potato, carrot, bean curd, peanuts and Chinese chilli sauce, or perhaps housemade juicy pan fried pork dumplings. Be tempted by a traditional Shanghai dish of Yang Chun noodles with spring onion and sesame oil, or dip a spoon into a delicious broth that has been simmering for more than 50 hours to enhance exotic flavours and textures.
