Major cities in the world seems to have one! The Chinatown area here is smaller than those in Sydney as well as in Brisbane.

No Msg! Seems to be the trend in Chinese restaurants. Perhaps there were many complaints among "white" customers who felt the many side effects like depression and flushing of the skin. There is no direct evidence though.

The pavement next to Swanston Street is sufficiently wide to accommodate seats for tired shoppers, street vendors, etc.

Smart bank providing multilingual staff to cater to customers. Back home even multilingual road signboard in tourist areas cause some controversy. When do we ever learn. Sigh!

The advertisement at its window says all but 1 bowl for me is enough!

There are two other Direct Factory Outlets elsewhere, near to the International Airport and the other at Smith Street.

A common meeting place in Melbourne Central.

Pavement artist in action, near to Crown Casino.

Christmas lighting at Crown Casino. Around the corner is the gaming hall. Quite a substantial players are Asians. Sigh!
Following is the slide-shows:

The DFO may have been new as I did not see one on my last trip, well, a few years back. On "no-MSG" in Chinese restaurants, it seems other Chinatown restaurant elsewhere practice the same, I think its good. Thanks for the pictures and information. Keep it up!
dav_boyz: thanks for visiting. On DFO, i was told it was completed about a year ago.
Although we may try to avoid MSG in our food, it's pretty hard if we have breakfast and lunch outside our homes ;-(
