Tacos 💯

[@FoodandFootprints]

That cinnamon, cardamom and sugar donut caught our attention immediately! LOVE cardamom 🤤

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahah it’s a great spice to add to the donut, making it a bit aromatic, different than regular sugar donut 😍

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Wow the golden bun! Like custard bun... the bun bao...thats iconic canton bao! Love the pork and sausage feeling my favorite

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That golden sand bun is really gold!! The filling is literally like a liquid gold haha, nust try!

[@feedmeimei]

Wow that combination bun is so packed!! Ooo that golden sand bun totally reminds me of the salted egg lava bun! I want dimsum now 😂

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes it is similar to the salted egg lava bun but it’s much better 1000x hahaha 🤣

[@feedmeimei]

Ooo $5 for that crepe looks like a great deal! Also I'm eyeing that youtiao!!! 😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That crepe is a steal 👌🏻 yep the youtiao is yum and quite cheap too 🤤

[@FoodandFootprints]

Like how they use the pepperoni with the natural casing that curls up when you cook it - that’s good stuff

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha tasty pepperoni on pizza witch cheese. Couldn’t get any better than that 🤤

[@feedmeimei]

Never had borek before, need to look for it around me! Those chicken wings are looking super good! Oooo Short Stop! I remember seeing all their yummy donuts in Sydney!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Try to find Turkish restaurant around to find Borek 😄 Ah yes Shortstop also has a store in Sydney 👍🏻 they originally are from Melbourne 😊

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

The beef pie looks incredible from Mr. Kitchen ! And the buns! look at the yolk~~~ guys! that could be my (HK) favorite!

[@PuriandSue]

Whoaaa that golden sand bun looks delicious! So juicy inside too, and that custard, yums! Mmmm I'll pay for that pizza! Borek sounds really interesting, I need to try that. Chicken Ribs would go so well with beer ;)

[@TwoHungryDiners]

This golden sand bun itself deserves an award! If they have a competition of the best bun, I would not hesitate to support all the way haha That's right, that chicken ribs must be really good with the beer 😍

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes, the first four were filmed in June 2020. Just after the first lockdown 😄

[@SantosChronicles]

Now when we go to Melbourne we know where we can get cheap eats with the family. I love freshly cooked crapes!!! I need my own crape machine. Mmmmm, that combination bun looks so good.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yay! Don't we all love everything cheap? haha

[@nickandhelmi]

[@PuriandSue]

That bagel is loaded! I've always thought Bagel is plain lol - I need to get out and explore the world more haha!! Love the amount of fillings in that dumpling. Can I increase my budget and get coffee to go with my donut? Love their concept, different days, different donuts. Wow the choux look amazing, crispy outside and soft inside with filling, awh!! Love this top 10 cheap eat episode guys!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahah bagel is always so good with some filling/spread. Cream cheese is always a classic one 😊 Yes you can haha please add more budget to get coffee + donut. lol Thanks guys so much for watching ❤

[@nickandhelmi]

YES japanese cream!! i remember is that the same one as the one they have in harajuku? i remember they use hokkaido milk :D

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes, it is the same cream puff as the one in Harajuku. It’s called Zaku Zaku if I remember it correctly , and we regret not getting that last time in Japan. So happy that we can have it now in Australia 🤤 so good!

[@AnSEpisodes]

We love Boreks too! First time had it and fell in love with it! love their lamb :)

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah we haven’t tried the lamb yet because we don’t particularly enjoy eating lamb. Will get Peter to try it next time. He is fine with it I guess although lamb is not his favourite choice of meat.

[@CraigWedd]

just reminds me of how much i love living in this city xoxo

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

So we go to Melbourne and these will be at least one of our meals for each day. 😂 All of them looks great and yummy! Thanks for taking us through all those places! 😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hope you can visit Melbourne again once the border is open and allowing travelers to come to Aus 😊

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Look at the size of the meat from the Dim Sims! that must be filling! considering the price, this could be very satisfying snack or even meal!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That’s right! Two of these dim sims can make us quite full, so it’s a great size for snacks 👍🏻

[@FoodandFootprints]

Sesame bagel with cream cheese is a classic combo. Wonder if they sell everything bagels - that’s our favorite bagel to eat in NYC

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah yes we do have everything bagels but not at the shop mentioned in this video. There are other bagel shop selling it, I love it 👍🏻❤️

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Uufff... We love a good burek! Never seen it as a snack, always on a plate. Chicken ribs?! That's interesting. Yes to dim sims too!! You guys did a great jobs with all of these food finds. It's also so nice to see so many people out and about behind you.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah we never had burek on a plate. We need to discover more of Turkish food here :) Yup many Melbournians are enjoying a little bit of freedom here, so glad we can now have a covid safe summer. Thanks guys for watching.

[@mariaandbryan]

Never had kurimu, looks yummy

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You should be able to get a similar one when you travel to Japan 😄

[@MikkiShihTzu]

$5 crepe to start the day!! Sweetness to wake you up

[@TwoHungryDiners]

So yummy and smells amazing too, perfect to start the day 👍🏻😍

[@mariaandbryan]

I don't think we ever had Chinese donuts, but it looks filling, great for the price Oh yes chines buns! We love all the buns 🤤🤤

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Chinese donuts are must try especially if want to experience authentic chinese breakfast 🤤👍🏻 The buns are so delicious from this restaurant, highly recommended 😍

[@PeterandYen]

Wow y'all really had so many snacks on this one. All the major food groups fried chicken 🍗 pizza 🍕 ice cream 🍦bagels 🥯 n street foods from everywhere. Great deals 👌

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes we went all the way finding these great snacks on budget in Melbourne. So glad we finally can share with you all ❤️

[@AnSEpisodes]

Nam Loong! it's our must stop always when visiting Melb, always take away some too for the next day breakfast :)

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes that’s right. It’s great breakfast options here 👍🏻🤤

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Love the excitement of the intro. This is quite the challenge for a big city like Melbourne. I bet the simple crepe has to be delicious. Yes to that meat pie!!! They are quite expensive over here. That Chinese donut looks perfect. You can find lots of affordable food at Chinese shops.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks guys! Yes it was a challenge to find this top 10 list. Glad you enjoyed the video 😄

[@kevinkawe]

Shortstop Donuts are amazing!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Couldn’t agree more ❤️

[@graced8502]

Oh yum Is the Japanese chuox pastry like a Spanish doughnut ??? Could you please please go into the Japanese supermarket on Elizabeth Street to see if you can make a tasty cheap meal from there??? And other Asian grocery stores Cheap,delicious portable meal . For a picnic or meal to have when having a day in the city please

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The choux pastry is different than Spanish doughnut. The choux pastry is more like a hollow and light pastry with cream filling. With Spanish donut, there is no room for any filling, so it’s a lot denser. That’s a nice idea for our next recipe video. Thanks for the recommendation, we will consider it 🥰

[@RudyVisuals]

I've never seen a doughnut that big! That's such a steal for 2.50 😃

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes it’s a chinese donut, a savoury one. 👍🏻🤤

[@mariaandbryan]

Borek 🤤🤤🤤 we love Turkish borek and Serbian Burek, in the Balkans burek is widespread everywhere but bosnians are very passionate about this dish. They say cheese borek isn't really borek. We had tons of comments about it, it's quite interesting to see the conversations on our Channel about borek 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, great food choice

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah never tried Serbian burek before. Haha oh well as long as it tastes good it all that matters 😃 We love this Turkish cheese burek😁

[@jessyjessy88]

I like your video. Hope next time can share which places for buffet that value for money guys!! 🤩

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for watching ❤️ That’s a great idea for buffet restaurants, we will do some research first 👍🏻

[@AVMermaid]

That golden bun thing - I used to eat so many of them!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

It’s really good, isn’t it! 🤤😍

[@RudyVisuals]

The cream choux looks so delicious! I would love to try one 😃

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You guys need to try it, it is so good, crunchy exterior with smooth and sweet cream filling 😍

[@williamhalbur7329]

Awesome video 💯

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@SantosChronicles]

Those Chicken Ribs would be good, especially with rice 😀. So many choices of cheap eats over there. My wife likes fancy bagels, I like it very traditional with cream cheese. You guys hit so many spots. How many days did it take you to film?

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes fancy bagels vs traditional with cream cheese. For me the traditional is always a win! I took us 3 days in total to film, we couldn't do it in one day haha too much food!

[@kaynesheenan]

good job!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SantosChronicles]

As a KZbinr, you definitely need coffee. Addison can eat donuts all day 😂. It looks so fluffy. That desert shop looks so good - Japanese style. Totally want to try that. Thanks for sharing.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes, donut and coffee are a good pair. We didn't get the coffee that day because it's already late afternoon haha, if it's in the morning we would definitely get it. Thanks so much for watching guys!

[@MAAZAMIN-px9vx]

i tried a dumpling.. it was amazing!

[@novitasantoso9880]

YUMMMM

[@TwoHungryDiners]

👍😍

[@mariaandbryan]

We have $1 pizza in NYC It is not the best but price is unbeatable

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ahhh that’s super cheap! 🤩

[@mariaandbryan]

Love crepes!!! That's so cheap

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Super cheap 😍

[@wildfuture.network]

Maybe I've been living in Asia for too long but most stuff you had seem to me atrociously expensive, ahaha! Only the Borek at 4$ seem quite filling and like being quite a good deal...

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah yes, can’t compare the price of food with Asia. Here the living expense is also high 😊

[@RudyVisuals]

Haha what's better than chicken with chicken salt on it if we had a place like that near us we would eat there all the time 😋

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha chicken with chicken salt is like next level chicken ribs, double chicken flavour 😂

[@atan20579]

share or 10 delicious cheap dishes

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Any suggestions of other cheap dishes to feature? 😊

[@RodiahAlatas]

Yum 😋

[@letitgo2146]

I miss that borek.

[@AnSEpisodes]

Haha the only thing that we could get it by now here is Shortstop Donuts lol. everything else has to fly to Melb >< lol

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahaha yes you guys have Shortstop donuts in Sydney too. Yes please come and fly to Melbourne 😊 Or you can drive haha half way more from Canberra 😆

[@gegetaba]

Tokui sushi is the best in town

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ahh yes, we were meant to include tokui sushi, however they were closed for a quite long time when we filmed this video. We thought they are closed down forever after lockdown, turn out they are back open, yay.

[@TheKasun1991]

I had the borek in 2018 for $2 😅

Make a videos of vegan food

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We have 5 vegan videos already. Check out the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLnOPftvNqytZhXTgxq27ZhiRwpXQYXv7G

[@evan.5967]

Why no mask?

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The first half of this video was recorded before the second lockdown in Melbourne last year when mask was not mandatory. But you will see the end half of the video, people wearing masks, as we filmed it after restrictions lifted in October 2020. As for today, masks are not mandatory in Melbourne except at some certain places such as public transports, hospital, aged care, etc.

[@zokipandurovic9843]

“Chicken ribs” makes no sense. I think you mean chicken wings.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

A chicken rib is not really a “chicken rib”, but it is part of the scapula meat, or a shoulder meat of the chicken. It’s different from chicken wings. If you go to butcher here, you can buy chicken ribs, and the wings are different than the ribs.

[@keeting7902]

Are you married or single.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We are married 😊

[@MS81770]

Who are we kidding? The quality of restaurant food in Melbourne is one of the worst i have ever experienced. Rancid stale oils, cheap nasty stale ingredients, ingredients deception, the list goes on. I wouldn't exactly be celebrating anything.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Really?! Melbourne food scene is incredible! Melbourne is Australia's culinary capital. If you say the quality of restaurant food in Melbourne is one of the worst, that means you went to the wrong ones. Which restaurants did you go to? Try the ones we recommended in our channel, you won't be disappointed.
