warning to all, there’s absolutely no way you can come out of this place smelling clean. no way. so don’t bother washing your hair, or showering for that matter. unless you’re feral, of course.
that said, i do quite enjoy the food here. oriental spoon (254 la trobe street melbourne, 03 9654 9930) was introduced to [...]

fun in the kitchen – hakka lui cha
Posted in eating in on October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
i must preface this post by saying i don’t actually know how to cook the damn thing. i really think i need to learn though, this is the perfect meal when you’ve overindulged and are in the mood for a bit of a detox.
i found a great post on what lui cha is, the blogger [...]

i’ve been on a quest to find a great nasi lemak. the best i’ve had so far is at nasi lemak house just out of the city, but it’s a bit too inconvenient. that and the service is absolutely crap.
anyway i woke up on the saturday after the great foodventure, and all i was craving [...]
attica degustation – ripponlea
Posted in age good food guide 2010, fine dining, melbourne on October 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
when i heard that attica (74 glen eira road, ripponlea, 03 9530 0111) had been named restaurant of the year by the age’s good food guide, i thought i’d better get in quick. just five minutes down the road from my house i waited eagerly for a reason to shell out $130 for an 8-course [...]
squire’s loft – again
Posted in melbourne, steak on October 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
j and i both came to melbourne for a girly trip back in 2006, and a mutual friend introduced us to squire’s loft and our love affair with their steak, crispy fried onions and of course, their sauces. so we decided to head there again.
i’ve already blogged about how i visit squire’s in south yarra [...]
filter cafe, again
Posted in brunch, melbourne on October 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
i just had to take j to filter cafe to sample more of the amazing brunches melbourne has to offer. after the ever-so-slightly disappointing trip to mart 130 with her, i was a bit concerned that i may have hyped my favourite brunch spots up a bit too much.
it is generally known and grudgingly accepted [...]
dainty sichuan

god knows why names like these are allowed. but that’s not the point.
having only tried a sichuan hotpot in the past, my impression of sichuan food is spicy, with enough oil to make the arabs a bit nervous. dinner at dainty sichuan (26 corrs lane, melbourne, 03 9663 8861) confirms this. it’s located in the [...]
movida tapas – melbourne
Posted in age good food guide 2010, melbourne, tapas on October 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
sadly, the foodventure is now over. j just left on a plane, although she almost didn’t, thanks to me! but that’s another story.
i have a few places to blog about, but i just had to start with movida (1 hosier lane, melbourne). I definitely enjoyed this meal most out of all the places we visited. [...]
mart 130, again
Posted in brunch, melbourne on October 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
the great foodventure of 2008 has started. my best friend j is over from perth for a week and being my food soulmate we’ve pretty much been stuffing our faces non-stop! after raving about mart 130 for quite a while now we decided to head there for her first meal of the trip.
we got a [...]
pho dzung, richmond
Posted in asian, melbourne on October 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
when it comes to vietnamese food, experience has taught me that the best pho will be served in a restaurant where at least one person will warn you about the kitchen’s state of cleanliness. so if you’re after good pho, you tell the person that’s about to share their horror story to save it, go [...]
