Dining in Prison.

@ Austoora - a Lebanese restaurant. It was previously a prison, and now runs by a very friendly Lebanese family. All the chefs are originally from Lebanese. Super Like x1000000000 - I like authentic stuff.
I feel like walking into a big cell as I walked outside of the restaurant where I got seated. There is a small chapel behind the restaurant, yet another perfect location for small wedding or party. The friend whom I dined with actually said, "It is a perfect venue for small wedding. She really senses that marriage is actually like imprisonment - in a good way." I then said, "Yeah, convince your future husband to come all the way to Melbourne and have your wedding party at a Lebanese restaurant where it was a prison before!" keekee... (I like girls' talk and dream like a girl sometimes.)

Every deco in the restaurant speaks of Middle-Eastern culture. (Like!)
All the diners were Lebanese, so when my friend and I dined there, we were the out-numbered.

It is part of the Lebanese tradition that all adults would have a puff of this traditional flavored puff when they eat!
The highlight of night is belly dance show. The dancer invited one person from each table to dance with her. It was good fun.
The food was very tasty, very traditional. The owner is very generous. He gave out normal flat bread, fried flat bread that sprinkled with Lebanese herbs, a big fruit platter, Lebanese coffee and baklava (traditional Lebanese dessert) for free!

It was a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely go back!
