Moon Diem Hen

Hopping southeast from the CBD, Springvale jewel Moon Diem Hen is positioned about as inconspicuously as can be on a lane adjacent to a car park and does goat and seafood hotpots with aplomb. The restaurant is famous for its goat number: a deep pot of mushroom, taro, tofu and crudely hacked hunks of goat meat – plenty of thick skin attached – in a brooding goat stock, accompanied by a plate of greens and coils of thin wheat noodles that are added to the fray at the diners’ discretion, but must be rescued 60 seconds thereafter.
