the age melbourne magazine recently featured a write-up about pub food venues in melbourne. while i’ve had some great dining experiences at pub food places – the first one that springs to mind is a yummy garlic prawn dish at the lorne hotel – pub food normally conjures up mental images of a pie and [...]

after my yummy takeout experience with phad thai food, i decided to try the delivery option, which is free within 2km for orders above $25. k was game, so we ordered a couple of dishes to share. the lady on the phone told us it would be 30-40 minutes so we were pleasantly surprised when [...]

so i blogged about my obsession with crabapple last year, and then it went into liquidation so we had to look for other options. recently we headed back there after hearing it had reopened to see whether it was still up to scratch.

k managed to persuade me to head to nudels n wraps again despite my less-than-stellar visit the last time. i did remember that i wanted to try the nasi lemak though so i figured i’d give it another go before completely writing it off.

the battle of the cupcakes continues. i’m setting out on a mini mission to find the best cupcakes in melbourne by flavour, and i’m starting with lemon! it’s been so long since i’ve had a lemon cupcake from crabapple what with the closure and all, so i can’t really remember what it tastes like apart [...]
