Goldie Asian Canteen Brews

Located on the ground level of the Novotel Melbourne Central. This is handy for guests to grab a casual bite to eat or have a coffee on the go. There is a decent amount of indoor seating so doesn’t feel too cramped. Order up at the register and they’ll bring your order out to you. The service is very friendly.<br/ <br/ I visited here for breakfast and had a bit of an appetite. The menu lends itself to Asian inspired dishes and lots of duck dishes caught my eye. I ordered the Breakfast. Bao. It was a pillowy bao bun filled with peking duck and scrambled eggs topped with hoisin sauce. Very tasty and great concept. I then sampled the Vego Dumpling. Three pieces of nicely made dumplings simply filled with an assortment of vegetables I didn’t need any sauce to go with it as delicious on its own. The Peking Duck Toastie had good pieces of duck and noodles sandwich between two slices of bread and flavoured with hoi sin. It was nice to eat but probably preferred the bao. I had a Bubble Tea to drink. My first choice of black pearl had run out so opted for lychee jelly to go with the roasted rice milk tea. It was actually quite a good combo with the lychee jelly liquid popping on each bite. <br/ <br/ Even if not staying at the hotel it’s a nice place for a casual meal or drink.

This fusion eatery offers a small range of dumplings, banhmis, baos, toasties, rice bowls and select drinks.<br/ <br/ The Master stock beef brisket, slaw and cheese toast- tender beef with slaw that is crisp with the most stretchy cheese. The bread is crunchy.<br/ <br/ Bubble teas and coffees also available.<br/ <br/ Earl grey milk tea woth rainbow jelly. Aromatic tea with a light sweet taste. The rainbow jelly is chewy with no taste which is perfect as it doesn't change the taste to the milk tea.<br/

What a cute little place I found that did a thai milk tea and some really good dumplings. The service was very fast and efficient.

What a great place for a speedy lunch, and something different to your standard sandwiches! The bao are delicious, with a good range of options (including veggie choices for us plant eaters). Food is served super fresh! St. Ali coffee and a good selection of sweet treats also available.

Got the Tori katsu (panko chicken) toastie. It was of a huge portion and was really filling and nice. The chicken was a bit bitter on the burnt edges but was nice inside.<br/ <br/ The Mayo was a bit spicy which was nice with the salad in the toastie.<br/ <br/ Really nice toastie but room for improvement.
