Melbourne
a) D. Rice Queen. Level 2/231 Smith St, Fitzroy. Ph: 9419 6624 (The Wang Chu Tonight is $14)
Is Rice Queen:
a) the nickname my friend ended up with when someone noticed he would only date Asian men
b) the best new thing to hit Smith St this year (insert own smack joke here)
c) my nickname for Stephanie Rice at last year’s Beijing Olympics
d) all of the above
Located under The Panama Dining Room, Rice Queen is a new Asian diner. Home of the Wang Chu Tonight (cherry juice, vodka, lime and mint cocktail), dumplings to die for, and a light-filled front room … I think I’ve found my new Xanadu.
