....include the following Applications for Liquor Licences:
Stephen Tso for Me Wah Restaurant, Magnet Court, Sandy Bay
Nada Mihelcic for Split Cafe Restaurant, Main Rd, Moonah
Adam Diggle for Rapport on the Pier, Elizabeth St Pier
I know many of us will rejoice in particular at the mention of the Me Wah application. Yes, things DO move very slowly in good old Hobart.

Go Me Wah!
And I hope the Moonah one is OK!

PS Thanks for reading the paper better than I did!
Thanks for the information, I've been dropping into yours and other's blogs for a while now, to see if there is any form of life out there, still not sure....
Do you give feedback to the venues you visit?
Have you ever owned an establishment?
Is there any follow up, some time after you have visited?
Don't get me wrong, it would be too easy to say these things if I didn't agree with some of the things you say.
Watching with interest.
Mr Belligerent
You know us Rita, we all love our grub.
So, please forgive me for a little gripe over a little place at the weekend.
Out for a drive and to walk the dog we ended up starving at 3pm in Kingston. (As you can).
Right, we thought, let's grab some basic fish and chips to tide us over till dinner.
Well it was rubbish. The piee of battered flake was fine and fresh. The blue grenadier a disgrace. It was old and the dark bits on the end were just bloody awful.
Score one for the seagulls.
The chips a mixed bag, mainly soggy.
Seagulls TWO.
The potato cake must have been a frozen-supplied jobbie. Chewy and disgusting.
Those seagulls...THREE.
Now, what is it about these places?
IT IS THEIR BLOODY LIVING FOR GOD'S SAKE.
Don't you just want to waltz back in and say..
Excuse me, chips should be golden and crispy. Fish should be fresh and you should be doing the best bloody job you can to win and keep custom.
I mean, they rock up every day to do the same stuff. Even allowing for the boredom factor, wouldn't you be saying..right, yesterday was good today will be even better or just as good.
Fresh food, the best I can do.
But no, it seems impossible for them to grasp this. Do they ever ask themselves when bagging up your order, is this how I would like my food?
We won't be back and I suspect many others have thought the same.
WAKE UP!
A very disgruntled Sir Grumpy.
Hi Mr Belligerent - as I said already on your site this afternoon, welcome to our land of blog. I'm really pleased someone else out there has decided to start up a blog. It really adds to the spice, and number of opinions and balance to have more people's input.
Yeah - I reckon there's a BIT of life out here but not too much.
I'll be watching you with interest now, too.
I look forward to having some good discussions and debates about things, gbut would like you to know right from the start that I mean you, and anyone else, absolutely no harm or hurt with my words.
I know what you said about being of the generation who says it like it is, and I respect that, and welcome it too. But - that's not me, and I can't pretend it is.
Sir G - damn! Don't you hate that stuff. I totally empathise. That's happened to me so many times I'm quite scared to buy fish & chips in untried places now. You didn't mention which place this was you got the crap food. Deliberately?
So I'm taking a punt and guessing that place right on Kingston beach. If it was, that's so sad, cos about 5 years ago, they did THE best chips, and I used to whizz down there often just to pick up their decent fish & chips. I spoke to the owner at the time and he was really passionate about his potatoes, and his product.
I held out lots of hope for the future of fast food on K'ton Beach.
Sorry Kzee - forgot I hadn't acknowledged you up there! I like to keep an eye on the public notices for exactly that reason - so I have a fair idea of what's going on in our fair city!
I love a good handmade potato cake, with thick sliced potato, and cooked so the batter is crispy and golden on the outside and still a bit 'mooshy' on the inside. Yuuummmm...
Do you think I can find one these days?
And the worst PC to ever be served - the pre-packaged cheaper to purchase 'mashed potato cake'. The inside barely resembles potato. You can spot these impostors by their width - the super flat PCs are usually these. Be aware!
Yes anon, a good PC is a thing of wonder.
Fluffy potato inside, crispy golden batter outside. YUM.
I think the one we got at thge weekend was the factory pre-formed kind.
A pox on the lot of them.
Sir Grumpy
I can remember the good old days when Saturday lunch would be three potato cakes from the Dolphin for a total of 60 cents.
Oh, poor old Whitey. Pity your good old days were later than mine. My fond childhood memory is of the potato cakes being three for a shilling (1/-)(=10 cents) at the Huonville Fish & Chip Shop! Six of those, plus 6/- (60c) chips fed my family of 8. That was the then equivalent of Mum & Dad nowadays taking us to a restaurant!
Besides, Huonville and the Huon had no restaurants at all, just fish & chip shops or milk bars (H'ville had Ben's Milk Bar or Dud's Milk Bar - take your pick! We were starved of choice really, weren't we?).
