After a long day exploring Melbourne, we headed off to Prahran for dinner. Located on the very fashionable Chapel Street, the restaurant may be difficult for some to locate. It is located in Revolver Upstairs, which can be accessed by a narrow set of stairs from Chapel St.

The restaurant had very cool interiors, with the exposed brick and the mismatch of colours giving it a very authentic and pleasant feel. To start we had the Pork Sausages. They were absolutely delicious, perhaps the best I've had. Things started to go downhill from there. Having heard so much praise for the Bangkok Bolognese, we decided to give it a go. The first bite was amazing. It was extremely reminiscent of spaghetti bolognese, but with a Thai twist. However, every bite after became increasingly difficult, given the amount of chilli present. The waiter did, however, warn us previously that this was a spicy dish, telling us that we would receive a milder version. If the mild version of the dish was that spicy, the normal version must be spicy to death. The Tumeric Chicken Stir Fry was average, perhaps because my palate was washed away by the spiciness of the Bolognese!

To be fair though, this was simply a matter of personal preference. Individuals who can deal with a very high level of heat would definitely love the Bangkok Bolognese. However, personally, the wonderful flavours of the dish were masked by the extreme level of heat, which I thought was unnecessary. In the end, had we chosen other dishes, our experience would have been completely different, as I knew just how good this place actually was. The service was great.
