The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant departs three times a day, each with a different number of dishes and a different duration/

Four-course lunch, two hours, from 13:00 to 15:00.

Three-course morning dinner from 17:45 to 19:15.

The five-course evening dinner lasts the longest, from 20:35 to 23:30.

Either way, it's always a slow meal, even if it's an hour and a half of morning dinner.

The Colonial Tram Restaurant has a very complete Western menu, from appetizers and appetizers to main courses and desserts.

If you take it seriously, the food at the tram restaurant can be called Australian cuisine.

At least in the choice of ingredients, it is very local.

Classic appetizers include Tasmania Atlantic Salmon (salmon from the Tasmani waters of the Atlantic Ocean) and Peper Crusted Kangaroo (black pepper kangaroo meat).

There's also the most frequently ordered entrée, the Victorian Farmed Eye Fillet.

If there is any shortcoming that the tram restaurant cannot overcome, it is the problem of the small "kitchen" space that the tram restaurant cannot overcome.

The "kitchen" cooking space is limited, so the dishes on the menu are in the form of set meals, and the choice is not rich enough, and many of the dishes are cooked in advance.

The chef only needs to do the final process of heating and controlling the heat on the train.

However, since 1983, the Colonial Tram Restaurant has made many improvements to the preparation and heating of the dishes, and it will not lose its flavor because it is prepared in advance.

This is the same as the preparation of meals in the first class of airlines, there are restrictions on ingredients and cooking methods, but they cannot affect the quality of meals.

The more you can only cook a meal that is simply heated, the more you can test how attentive an airline is to its own meals.

Although every airline has hired a very famous chef to design its own first-class meals on international flights, there is still a huge gap between the first-class food that is good and the first-class food that is not done well.

The standard of food served at the tram restaurant is definitely above the average level of Melbourne's western restaurants.

If there are six people eating at noon, they can still sit in the same row, so there is no problem for six people to chat together, although the aisle is separated by a small aisle.

But there are seven people eating at noon today, so we can only separate the front and back tables.

The seats in the tram restaurant are very high, and the backs of the seats are blocked, so it is not easy to chat between the people at the front and back tables.

Because of the choice of the tram restaurant, the lunch on the day of Yan Yun's graduation ceremony was destined to be a three-person table and a four-person table.

Four parents sit at one table, three juniors sit at one table, the normal arrangement must be like this, this is also Bao Bao's plan at the beginning.

But after the seven people went to the tram restaurant, this most normal arrangement began to seem very abnormal.

This table of three people, each of them has been abroad for a long time, so naturally there is no problem.

But at the table of four people, except for Yan Dabang, who had studied mechanical English very thoroughly, the other three people were unfamiliar with the twenty-six letters.

Unfortunately, the menu is not written in mechanical English, and after Yan Dabang got the menu, he didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know how to order it.

Although the colonial tram restaurants are all set menus, this does not mean that there are no options in the set menu.

Choose the appetizer, the main course, and most importantly, the train restaurant has a wide range of drinks and wine lists, so you have to order whatever you want to drink.

Not long after getting in the car, the eldest aunt was the first to leave the four-person seat and walked to Yan Yun's table: "Be with them, I don't know anything when I wait for the next order, I'll sit with you." ”

Bao Bao also began to feel that the previous "split table" arrangement was a little unreasonable.

"Why don't I go sit with my uncle and aunt. After Bao Bao finished speaking, he put his ideas into practice.

Yan Yun felt that Bao Bao's arrangement was very reasonable at first, but after thinking about it, there was a problem again.

Bao Bao is not suitable to sit at the same table with the conservative Yan Dingbang.

Yan Dingbang has not yet figured out the true situation of Bao Bao, otherwise he would definitely have to carry out some "ideological and moral" education for Bao Bao.

Yan Yun didn't want to embarrass Bao Bao for two full hours.

Yan Yun quickly stood up and walked to another table to change places with Yan Dingbang: "Uncle, you and your aunt will help me review Qi Yi." ”

Qi Yi had successfully passed the level of uncle and aunt in the morning, and if he examined it in depth again, there would be only benefits and no disadvantages.

After all, Yan Yun is looking for "someone else's child", from childhood to adulthood, Qi Yi's resume can't find any flaws at all.

This kind of person must be subject to more scrutiny.

The dining car moves slowly along the tram tracks, and the scenery of Melbourne outside the window is like a movie screen, flowing in front of the eyes of everyone who comes to the tram restaurant.

…………………………

Once the final seating arrangements were agreed, the two tables began to chat.

"When Yan Yun goes to Florence, Yan Yun's father and I want to go out and find a good restaurant to eat, and we have to trouble you to be our translator. Today's ordering made Lu Bingran have serious doubts about Yan Dabang's English speaking level.

"Of course, you are very happy to ask me to be a translator, not only can you chat with your uncles and aunts, but you can also have a big meal.

However, in that case, I will have to eat from my uncle and aunt's house all the way to the candlelight dinner on your anniversary.

Uncle Yan had a headache when he saw me, and he didn't want to see me when he showed his skills at home in the future. Bao Bao still prefers to eat at Yan Yun's house for a long time.

For Bao Bao, who is alone abroad, what is even more rare is a simple homely meal.

After all, the chef of the restaurant outside may not be able to catch up with her coffee restaurant.

"I'm not used to it yet, and I don't have to say anything when ordering, just a finger.

Bao Bao, go back and give me a Chinese and English version of the menu in your café, and I'll study it.

In less than a week, this will be done.

Now Yan Yun is still there, and I haven't had a chance to order my own food. The most unbearable thing for Yan Dabang is the "contempt" from his wife.

Yan Yun's father felt that it was necessary for him to regain the face he had just lost in front of his wife in a short period of time.

Yan Dabang didn't believe it, this small menu could be more difficult to bite than the manuals of those complicated mechanical equipment before.
