How\u2019s that? Well, in many of my lecture groups, the examples I use often have to do with cows.:)<\/p>\n<p>Truth to tell, I love beef. Back when I was in Perth, I\u2019d often dish up steaks at least twice a week, given how cheap fresh beef cuts could be had at Aussie supermarkets. Over here it\u2019s a different story though, with good cuts going for at least $30 a kg. As a result, since moving here to Rivervale last year, if memory serves, I\u2019ve just done beef-related dishes just twice.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, I was delighted to find a beef stew stall at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel.php?travel_id=1909&amp;travel_site=90496\" target=\"_blank\">Compass Point<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kopitiam.biz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kopitiam<\/a> that whips up pretty good fare. For $4.50, with the usual 10% discount applying for members,  the set in the picture comes with rice, tasty and almost herb-alish soup, and a generous plate of beef sitting on top of a healthy portion of vegetables. Ling found the beef very tender, and when dipped in chili was really yummy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food: 8 \/ 10<\/li>\n<li>Value: 4 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall: 4 \/ 5.
