澳洲精酿啤酒 Fifty Lashes Pale Ale ABV4.2% AUD$12 James Squire 👍👍👍😋😋😋
Budget: AUD$12
Thoughts: The "One Fifty Lashes Pale Ale" is a wonderful beer, in my opinion; a very easy drinking beer and I think a familiar style to Australian style beer after a couple evenings of it! It is a cloudy Pale-Ale but very refershing with an ever slight hint of fruitiness (not know exactly what's in it though)! The craft beer is from Australia's Malt Shovel Brewery founded 30 years ago in 1998! 
In 1998, Chuck Hahn converted a furniture factory into Hahn's Brewery, and 10 years later changed its name to the now Malt Shovel Brewery. The name is inpired from the Australian beer legend James Squire's original Brewing Tavern - "The Malt Shoverl"! Chuk Hahn is a man after James Squire's heart, both are passionate Australian brewers. The Legendary James Squire, is the man who first successfully cultivated hops in Australia way back in the early 19th century, who has since then making significant impact to the Australian beer drinking landscape. 
Following the footsteps of the former James Squire, Malt Shovel Brewery (in Sydney) follows the tradition of making smaller batches in traditional copper kettles to deliver the highest quality every time, with very little Automation but under the skillful hands of a team of expert brewers! It is said to be one of the best Craft Brewers in Australia. 
I enjoyed the "One Fifty Pale Ale"!

卡布奇诺咖啡 Cappacino @ Woods Cafe Park view Hotel St.Kilda Melbourne Australia

28.07.2018 Breakfast
@ Wood Cafe at Park view hotel St.Kilda CBD Melbourne Australia (Click here for Googles Map)
562 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004
GPS Location: 37°50'47.1"S 144°58'42.6"E
卡布奇诺咖啡 Cappacino AUD$4 👍👍😋😋
Budget: AUD$4
Thoughts: Delayed my last cup of "Cuppa" in the hotel on the last day of departure to KL! Melbourne St.Kilda road's Park view Hotel's Wood restaurant has 3 separate section; that is the restaurant, lounge (beer), and cafe. Days before this morning, have done the breakfast and beer except their coffee. I find that basically coffee in most places around town is about AUD$4 (similar price to a Starbucks in KL).
Surprisingly, it is a busy place in a Saturday morning, with seemly walk-in Australians customers into the hotel for a Cuppa! My brief observation of Australian culture was long conversations over dinner table whether it is a cafe, bar, or restaurant. In other parts of Asia where there is Chinese in a restaurant, one will be drowned in the "loud and noisy" conversations but not so in a crowded restaurant in Melbourne as I observed this week! (without the Chinese!)
The Cappacino was excellent!

GPS Location: 37°50'49.6"S 144°58'40.1"E
澳洲安格斯西冷牛排 Gippsland Grass Fed Centre Cut Sirloin 300g AUD$34 👍👍😋😋
Mount Venon Pinot Gris AUD$8 👍👍👍😋😋😋
Budget: AUD$50
Thoughts: Sails Brasserie is a Restaurant located within "Bayview on the Park Hotel" behind St.Kilda road which is on Queens road. My coming to this restaurant was for its "Wagyu beef" but unfortunately it was not available this evening! and so have to settle for the Gippsland Gradd Fed Sirlion cooking it as medium to well done. (maybe should have ordered it medium rare!) But still it was nicely prepared, unfortunately the mushrooms garnishing it were a little burned; the recommended sparking wine "Mount Venon Pinot Gris" was nice (no idea what kind of wine it is!).

澳洲啤酒 Furphy & Carlton Draught @ Young and Jackson at Melbourne Centre City

27.07.2018 Happy Hour
@ Young and Jackson at Melbourne Centre City  (click here to Google Map)
Swanston St & Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
GPS Location: 37°49'02.7"S 144°58'01.2"E
澳洲啤酒 Furphy $5/pot  👍👍😋😋
澳洲啤酒 Carlton Draught $5/pot  👍👍😋😋
Budget: Pots at $5 during Happy Hour
Thoughts: Young and Jackson is a hotel in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, at the corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street. It is listed as one of the most iconic hotel in Australia and also on the Victorian Heritage Register, you would know why when viewing the Architectural style of the building from outside. The hotel offers a cafe as well as a "lounge" for beer drinkers and horse racing gambling. Strategically located at a corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street, it can be easily seen from the Train/Ram entering the City from St.Kilda road! It's also opposite Flinder's street railway station and St.Pauls Cathedral. 
The ground floor bars boast a selection of over 30 beers and ciders on tap, including classic favourites, imported essentials and boutique brews. The first floor provides a relaxed atmosphere, comfortable couches, boutique beers, fine wine and exotic cocktails. There is also a roof top bar offering ciders on tap!
Happy hours at the ground floor is at $5/pot! (until 6pm). I had the "Furphy", which is a local Melbourne based brewery, was told that the brewery is just somewhere across the city/street (nearby)! The brewery has over 100 years of history in Victoria. I think it is a popular beer for locals as is offered in many beer locations. 
Other than the witnessing of Australian beer drinking culture in this pub which is packed, "Young and Jackson" is definitely an interesting place to also witness legal horse racing betting and gambling culture with several monitors lighted up showing horse racing in action. A place to be to witness part of the Australian culture!
