<div>
When you think of Fruit Punch your mind takes you away to the tropics and being showered in mangoes, watermelons and sweet fruit goodness, an array of bright colours and of course white sand beaches.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here at Punchbowl Canteen they certainly deliver in the vibrant tropical colours in a more than uplifting way. Clean white walls with its quirky pastel fruity colours splashed around this spacious dining hall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The menu is tasty and enticing with a great assortment of flavour combinations in not only meals but in beverages as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ZAE7Ymhf9IeHbworB-yHvrXSD7j0XtIjGRqnV8s9gcPeFpIUwPY9zRHvTsXn0q1DS97MMEk6ZjpDU1gdX3rqKrdJN0s7mWYsL8yc08ZttW_oyWNCH3BMdEsoW-QH8qkUPz_9QtV5hyt3/s1600/drink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ZAE7Ymhf9IeHbworB-yHvrXSD7j0XtIjGRqnV8s9gcPeFpIUwPY9zRHvTsXn0q1DS97MMEk6ZjpDU1gdX3rqKrdJN0s7mWYsL8yc08ZttW_oyWNCH3BMdEsoW-QH8qkUPz_9QtV5hyt3/s200/drink.jpg" width="150" /></a>The Sunday Peaches Smoothie made with a coconut milk and yoghurt base was mixed with sweet Peaches, mango nectar and banana. A definite rev up for the morning, and also very pleasant to enjoy in the coming hot summer days.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not one to be on the healthy side of the wall and would still like to enjoy something on the milky side other than coffee, then head for the milkshakes. Flavours such as Strawberry cheesecake, Banana Cream pie and Gingerbread are sure to entice you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back when I was young my grandparents used to surprise my sister and I with what they called a wigwam for a gooses bridle. This always has resulted in being given a gingerbread man. So from a very young age I have always been an advocate for gingerbread. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Lkp0o72fAKWSpkUDot2Sv82J3_uDz44ISsCK-7xmOFDR8XphUMJ2JT84rqPkkSVg6XkdJEprQYB424_uOq73808mrtXyIz7g1FGKRtZ5WxjCisONhBSXkrTamJzL9pUsXzOHl8jXz7UE/s1600/gingerbread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Lkp0o72fAKWSpkUDot2Sv82J3_uDz44ISsCK-7xmOFDR8XphUMJ2JT84rqPkkSVg6XkdJEprQYB424_uOq73808mrtXyIz7g1FGKRtZ5WxjCisONhBSXkrTamJzL9pUsXzOHl8jXz7UE/s200/gingerbread.jpg" width="150" /></a>Sweet gingernut biscuits overloaded the top of the spiced thick shake. It was as though you had a large serving of milk and cookies. Dunking those biscuits into the drink made for a rather enjoyable tasty beverage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The meals were delicious and full of flavour. Dishes such as Pork Belly with cauliflower and miso puree and apple remulade or even just pumkin donuts with cinnamon sugar, whipped yoghurt and freeze dried mandarin screams enjoyment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Korean Fried Chicken Burger was full of bold spicy flavours that coated the lightly battered chicken making it for a finger licking, kick in the face burger.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
This saucy coasted chicken is well balanced with the kim chi slaw and the soft seeded bun, which made for delectable eating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 1738, the invention of the Scotch egg was created in London. Traditionally a hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat crumbed and then fried or baked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It has become an icon of England where by other countries have grasped its recipe and as we would, change and develop it to make it more modern but still yet delicious.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here at Punchbowl they deliver on the Scotch egg recipe by creating a Fish cake scotch egg, served on radish, pear, chard and beetroot salad and finished with a curry mayo.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This inspiring dish was purely delightful. Its soft boiled egg nestled in the fish cake glistened with is soft yolk. It was like sunshine on a plate.</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4J4sZVyn1Vj9OD_b2nZzovJCN5EsL3ATUQcH952IicvwFfiMfuZGrzLzIgFDFlrV0XCuanMoOX8ICb1LMz6xHY1ZMvQrSYSPVpq7W1dQ6VXdkqs8AyYG4Mrdv2jerZ79h9psj_bHtipja/s1600/scotch+egg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4J4sZVyn1Vj9OD_b2nZzovJCN5EsL3ATUQcH952IicvwFfiMfuZGrzLzIgFDFlrV0XCuanMoOX8ICb1LMz6xHY1ZMvQrSYSPVpq7W1dQ6VXdkqs8AyYG4Mrdv2jerZ79h9psj_bHtipja/s200/scotch+egg.jpg" width="164" /></a></div>
<div>
A luscious spread of curry mayo under the fresh salad balanced off the golden crisp coating of the fish cake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would have ordered two servings with no question and it is truly a dish I would return to again. I can not explain in words on how delicious this was. It was actually what made me visit here when I was reading the menu, and trust me when I say I was not let down.</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Dining at Punchbowl Canteen was great. The team was vibrant which matched it's decor and the food tasty and delicious.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Busy during the week over the lunch period being located in the industrial section of Port Melbourne, and would only expect it to continue to be busy during breakfast on the weekends. Don't let this steer you away from a visit though, there is plenty of seats available inside and out.</div>

<br />
Lady Carolina sits on the corner of Lygon and Glenlyon in Brunswick is set for all your social needs. Dine in the front restaurant where it is decked in candlelight and warm interior, long bars and bustling with diners.<br />
<br />
Out the back is a more casual environment, layed down with grass flooring with a which stripped bar and trees. The perfect place to catch up with friends over some cocktails and a Mexican feast.<br />
<br />
Start with the simple char grilled corn on a cob smothered with coriander mayo and quesco fresco cheese. These cobs are certainly a crowed pleaser with us all ordering a second round.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPa6mcH0UOAU1LgjmpzFy-Si1dmvwLDNY1Ucpuwe3I9XWDh_P1QVlvwNqu4KQ5b0B8UFrix_ZuA1U4ncU2l0RkJGBKByx-d9ECxK8RNydaJnXRzT63kHmKHsHh7z9vwqdA-axjZRsmGhRH/s1600/IMG_2764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPa6mcH0UOAU1LgjmpzFy-Si1dmvwLDNY1Ucpuwe3I9XWDh_P1QVlvwNqu4KQ5b0B8UFrix_ZuA1U4ncU2l0RkJGBKByx-d9ECxK8RNydaJnXRzT63kHmKHsHh7z9vwqdA-axjZRsmGhRH/s200/IMG_2764.JPG" width="200" /></a>To follow was a fresh and delicious White fish Ceviche with citrus, chilli and sweet potato crisps. Fresh and vibrant, this beautiful tender fish with citrus bites in the flesh and a slight hint of chilli and coriander. A great starter to get those taste buds sing.<br />
<br />
Tostadas are a treat at Lady Carolina with Spiced chicken, lettuce, cream and quesco fresco cheese. Bite size fun with bold flavours of spice and fresh shreds of lettuce.<br />
<br />
Match these with a Mojito or a Caipirinha and the Tostadas will go down a treat.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG5s8b1gVow3mcqxExL5wk2wP21X1392dU1vRJixQULDYs2RJbxJQCDYsk5pw5qg_41m554YBScDVJhNLFMxl5d1PyZsieLU818LiJS-PSFcI6-_wqmSL-IAsuCD4-tsraO46rNpHAxvN/s1600/IMG_2771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG5s8b1gVow3mcqxExL5wk2wP21X1392dU1vRJixQULDYs2RJbxJQCDYsk5pw5qg_41m554YBScDVJhNLFMxl5d1PyZsieLU818LiJS-PSFcI6-_wqmSL-IAsuCD4-tsraO46rNpHAxvN/s200/IMG_2771.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
Try the Taco of slow cooked pork wrapped in banana leaves and coated with a luscious achiote spice finishes with onion orange and habinero pickles.<br />
<br />
Bold flavours surround this tender pork on a soft taco shell. A true delight and went down exceptionally well with the crowd.<br />
<br />
There is no better way to finish a meal than to devour servings of Churros served with a dark chocolate and caramel sauce.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMy4hDByhX0euc6Uf8KyIGlC3Nq4g2f4m05VqI_TcizPVpHN7XfVluyqb_oduac9rD8ylRP90nuckEXO0LoLXCjwKetseSJ1QbSHz73SjrgpBYDtGTisgsuyde9xA874NZHcu2aXqV_Bq/s1600/IMG_2778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMy4hDByhX0euc6Uf8KyIGlC3Nq4g2f4m05VqI_TcizPVpHN7XfVluyqb_oduac9rD8ylRP90nuckEXO0LoLXCjwKetseSJ1QbSHz73SjrgpBYDtGTisgsuyde9xA874NZHcu2aXqV_Bq/s200/IMG_2778.JPG" width="150" /></a><br />
Golden sugared coating surrounding a soft centre, with hints of cinnamon. Accompany this with a delightful<br />
<br />
Espresso Martini, and this will become the most tremendous finish to anyone meal.<br />
<br />
Lady Carolina was a great place to spend time over cocktails, and Mexican Canteena meals.<br />
<br />
Service is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is bubbling through out the night.<br />
<br />
All dishes were well balanced and enjoyable, and will be one that we intend to return to. If you haven't already visited Lady Carolina, you should, it won't disappoint you.<br />

<br />
This has never come true to no surprise however today I came pretty close to this dream.<br />
<br />
Sugar Buns Cafe is pushing the limits to the craze of the Mega Shakes, so much so that you are almost terrified to touch it.<br />
<br />
A wide selection of choices from the Strawberry shortcake to something that is called Candy Land. As much as Candy Land would have been the closest image to my dream, I saw it go out to another table and I was to scared to take on the challenge.... Chicken!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8dhS2uOofPX7TtWdFf7toGC9tHeHgo7-KnBsmE_dIVTSbyMn0NwrWLdPm8lE1EPNiN6UMCTW4cGNpCcgftPGYSw98paZR9M1h0yv8tXN9nIn4YR_yzt_2UnA2PF1CpM_ykgtxH8aOya1/s1600/IMG_4780.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8dhS2uOofPX7TtWdFf7toGC9tHeHgo7-KnBsmE_dIVTSbyMn0NwrWLdPm8lE1EPNiN6UMCTW4cGNpCcgftPGYSw98paZR9M1h0yv8tXN9nIn4YR_yzt_2UnA2PF1CpM_ykgtxH8aOya1/s200/IMG_4780.JPG" width="150" /></a><br />
The Strawberry shortcake was a calm strawberry milkshake finished off with a solid mound of strawberry ice cream and then covered with strawberry tarts, white chocolate tim tams, musk sticks, wafers, strawberry coulis covered sponge cake, fresh strawberries and Persian fairy floss.<br />
<br />
Don't worry my next dentist appointment is at tooth hurty tomorrow........<br />
<br />
A Malteser Mega shake was also an addition to the table with a very lovely and subtle Vanilla Malted milk with a chocolate rimmed glass packed with chocolate ice cream and finished with an array of maltesers, tim tams, wafers, chocolate sponge coated with chocolate sauce, malt crumb and Persian fairy floss.<br />
<br />
It was a pleasant change from gorging oneself in chocolate, and not too sweet as the vanilla malt calms it all down.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL3xj6Ld4TStmjsEfMxoaQEQnL1ZoHu_Y2hUMHGV3-365stprg5q7YEZ9i69iKCHsoIXjXaKmpievSCEHYqkzxfQsZZZxuF8brJFFAsn_G51nisGVM0VOUhRi6fpgZJKEgvemjsx8dWohV/s1600/IMG_4779.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL3xj6Ld4TStmjsEfMxoaQEQnL1ZoHu_Y2hUMHGV3-365stprg5q7YEZ9i69iKCHsoIXjXaKmpievSCEHYqkzxfQsZZZxuF8brJFFAsn_G51nisGVM0VOUhRi6fpgZJKEgvemjsx8dWohV/s200/IMG_4779.JPG" width="150" /></a>For those who shudder to these extravagant Mega Shakes knowing it would be too much, too sweet and there would be no way to finish, it's ok. There are tiny sizes available so you can experience the same as everyone else but in moderation.<br />
<br />
The Salted caramel was so cute as it came to the table. Salted pretzels, Jersey caramels, Persian fairy floss and the good old lollygoble bliss bombs over take the tiny jar of caramel milkshake.<br />
<br />
A meal within itself and a perfect size for kids and those who don't want to fill up and have a meal.<br />
<br />

But this just means we will have to go back.<br />
<br />
The Smashed Avo Rosti was a delight. Crisp golden compressed rosti sat atop of crimson beetroot humus, and then coated with smashed avocado, oozing poached eggs and a side of raw veg and goats cheese.<br />
<br />
Fresh vibrant and a stunning picturesque dish that wows the crowds as it bypasses your table.<br />
<br />
On weekends lines are out the door and at 11:30 during a weekday this cafe is strong in trade and turning over tables quickly.<br />
<br />
It's clearly a place to stop in and catch a glimps or spoil oneself in a shake and a bite to eat.<br />

Is it the buttery crisp coating, or is it the gooey melted cheese on the inside?<br />
<br />
A simple yet fullfilling delight that you would never turn your face to, if it was served to you by even the worst cook you know.<br />
<br />
Toasta has been something that has been on my radar for some time now, seeing their food trucks out and about, but being a weekend worker I have not been able to get there. Luckily for me Toasta has opened up a small little place nested on the corner of the quiet streets of West Melbourne.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0udMo_RnnfEVBaKT-JKPPKfidLpDTWOduwn7BNhqAOqIi7jgNp6KKTAzA0n9aJcvg_cYuzjtYpGhT7c2z2w4SgcCGFrDdPQph-gOEslAdMHeSUat8-5vqhPspxuXywdAit-RUzIremaBs/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0udMo_RnnfEVBaKT-JKPPKfidLpDTWOduwn7BNhqAOqIi7jgNp6KKTAzA0n9aJcvg_cYuzjtYpGhT7c2z2w4SgcCGFrDdPQph-gOEslAdMHeSUat8-5vqhPspxuXywdAit-RUzIremaBs/s200/FullSizeRender+%25283%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a>A simple offer of toasted sandwiches accompanied with a coffee or for those luxury types a beer or cider. Bringing things back to basics with a modern twist of flavour combinations.<br />
<br />
Take for example the the 'Greg', thick bread slices filled with a mix of scrambled egg, capers and dill with a touch of mayo. Added as extra sliced bacon and pickles. Rich but an utter flavour bomb to experience. I would highly recommend to enjoy this with a beer for a lunch time choice,<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLAnihKzmhDBsdWhqXwPrj1FC-rvHOA6T3v1qvPSrwyIoJdxZF5z_j6Ew3iJVO8ztxA_MazgkDhEHdwuLi1F3M04zzmtFCu3LDKzHiufRiY51ho071g155INz4p8M9Yu-YZBt23wauQjv/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLAnihKzmhDBsdWhqXwPrj1FC-rvHOA6T3v1qvPSrwyIoJdxZF5z_j6Ew3iJVO8ztxA_MazgkDhEHdwuLi1F3M04zzmtFCu3LDKzHiufRiY51ho071g155INz4p8M9Yu-YZBt23wauQjv/s200/FullSizeRender+%25285%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a>Now the 'Mack Daddy' is the daddy of all the toasted sandwiches here. Cheesy mac accompanied with pulled pork, bbq sauce, caramelised onions and of course cheese. Stings of melted cheese pulls away from the first bite you take, and follows with a creamy salty taste everything that makes the world of eating perfect. Hints of succulent pork cuts through with the onions and bbq sauce.<br />
<br />
This one was the one that did it for me today - my suggestion to encounter for a first try.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Olv5Pra3I7nFH7pmLWDorCCNYa3eCye3TXGEjTM5_S91fuMYq69JtmidMLYm7SswLWpS7xTvGxT9IWrKPKraE0fAIHSFLnSHx-ObOMdBH22KZNYMGAqNgz1JgFI6L8-DTe7jbFJ_tYEB/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Olv5Pra3I7nFH7pmLWDorCCNYa3eCye3TXGEjTM5_S91fuMYq69JtmidMLYm7SswLWpS7xTvGxT9IWrKPKraE0fAIHSFLnSHx-ObOMdBH22KZNYMGAqNgz1JgFI6L8-DTe7jbFJ_tYEB/s200/FullSizeRender+%25284%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a>For those who like to overdose themselves in cheese goodness, then grab the 'Rami', gorgonzola and cheese blend melted together with pastrami, spinach and caramelised onions. This very rich but delicious toastie is one for the cheese fans. A beautiful salty cheese combination mellowed out with the slithers of pastrami is well enjoyed. I do have to say that when I say rich, it is intense, recommending it to be one to share.<br />
<br />
Service here is welcoming and humble. It's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. For something on the run or to take a quick lunch break it is a fabulous way to unwind.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out Toasta & co or find out where their food trucks are headed. It's worth the hunt and sure to be a crowed pleaser.<br />

<br />
Melbourne is increasing it's American BBQ restaurants and makes me very excited. I love the varieties of smokes that add different depths of flavour to a brisket, pork or even chicken.<br />
<br />
Up in Smoke located in Footscray is a smoke house that shouldn't be missed. Delivering an amazement of meats that are tender, juicy and perfectly smoked.<br />
<br />
Starting the day off with some Hot Wings with ranch dressing and accompanied by a fresh cocktail, was a great beginning to the day. Coated in smokey spices and enough to get your palate active as small hits of chilli dances on your taste buds, but held with restraint so that they don't burn your senses.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIo1PToCt1FUxY853FFAFap7zL4QRnVxykJ_oVSsB_xp9kET5ICm3DW6lGQ9e-CLW8kIgt0o7OW9E_L-Y8XygNHAvj0vbQqFXgUGOxnt4Bp5tuuYCdBcvyYhCnraN8cWKK6Gi3xDyMAa4/s1600/IMG_2222.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIo1PToCt1FUxY853FFAFap7zL4QRnVxykJ_oVSsB_xp9kET5ICm3DW6lGQ9e-CLW8kIgt0o7OW9E_L-Y8XygNHAvj0vbQqFXgUGOxnt4Bp5tuuYCdBcvyYhCnraN8cWKK6Gi3xDyMAa4/s200/IMG_2222.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
The Meat tray is probably the best option to select here, ensuring that you get a taste of everything they offer. Brisket, pulled pork and my favorite Jalapeno and cheese sausage. OMG!!!!<br />
<br />
Served with pickles, milk buns and a choice of 2 sides, it's the perfect and ideal choice when your with other meat lovers.<br />
<br />
The brisket is melt in your mouth and falls softly away making you just want to continue to eat more and more. The sausage is perfectly balanced with heat and light hints of cheese. One of the best sausages I've eaten. We chose to enjoy with a serving of chips and the apple fennel salad. These I think were the perfect option, a touch of freshness to cut through the rich meats and something fried is always a great option.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheaGC9yrvumzoGy3jC7t8qdfgPNBbxiusKUS-88cv047ojjlV8Wq4kyMeTz62qyBtUjxS70g8dDZczXErv6y5AvhVAeFb8tNsgaIECXnTkLBBFJlsq1Z2DzJijXNLW0xa9SJKzrjGjFaf3/s1600/IMG_2231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheaGC9yrvumzoGy3jC7t8qdfgPNBbxiusKUS-88cv047ojjlV8Wq4kyMeTz62qyBtUjxS70g8dDZczXErv6y5AvhVAeFb8tNsgaIECXnTkLBBFJlsq1Z2DzJijXNLW0xa9SJKzrjGjFaf3/s200/IMG_2231.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
Dessert enticed us with a banana cream pie and the special dessert of Smoked chocolate almond brownie served with raspberry and peanut butter.<br />
<br />
The Banana cream pie is the BOMB! A shortbread based filled with fresh banana and for texture bites of banana crisps finished with a light cream. Sensational and loved every bite.<br />
<br />
The brownie was rich and intense, glad is was served with ice cream. The smoked chocolate was decadent and delicious, and made the dessert to be remembered and different to other smoke houses.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to go again, and am very excited that they have a little retail shop on the side so I can top up my kitchen with delights.<br />

Normally on a day off such as this I would be rugged up on the couch watching TV series back to back, but today there was a need a need for food.<br />
<br />
Ten One Ate has been on my list for some time now, and one of my work colleagues keeps talking about it so there was no time like the present than to venture out into the streets of Essendon to experience it myself.<br />
<br />
This all sustainable and organic kitchen using local produce, has designed a rather leisurely menu to make for pure enjoyment.<br />
<br />
With a menu that offers Buttermilk pancakes with a limoncello curd or Truffle scrambles eggs served with mushrooms, goats curd and caramelized onions is sure to get the apertite thinking.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyCMS58Moa1jz8agi00jvEaf6Q4dGUb3YOJ1D19OcF5S7xiJ7Gx3R_mGoYbitf8o_-x6W-Wfpll4l9g8yqHxobcaw_yJL-Io6w7p_ndccISJnfZfrrpDCLTOnLDwzEOF9GxPxVFe_iBTs/s1600/IMG_2277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyCMS58Moa1jz8agi00jvEaf6Q4dGUb3YOJ1D19OcF5S7xiJ7Gx3R_mGoYbitf8o_-x6W-Wfpll4l9g8yqHxobcaw_yJL-Io6w7p_ndccISJnfZfrrpDCLTOnLDwzEOF9GxPxVFe_iBTs/s200/IMG_2277.JPG" width="200" /></a>Our choice this morning through was for the Potato waffles served with a hot smoked salmon, pickled heirloom beets, crisp kale, salsa verde and oozy poached eggs.<br />
<br />
This picture perfect breakfast was a true enjoyment to eat. With a well balanced flavor combination, it was a perfect start to my morning. Waffle pressed potatoes that had a perfect golden glow topped with a good serving of smoked salmon which with the pickles of the beetroot and salt from the salsa verde, made for delightful eating. A small spray of fresh lemon lifted it even more. Adding some fresh avo and of course some bacon (you can't have breakfast without bacon) left me comatosed it gluttonous eating.<br />
<br />
The other dish of the day was the Eggs benedict. Now this is no ordinary Benedict, in fact the one at Ten One Ate is served with delicious slow cooked pork shoulder, crisp pancetta, apple cider hollandaise and finished with apple pearls.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi52xTW-Pyh368tja3H4QeD2gFPUCwYJX_V7oLtkyvP-KqXTlrPgJvfcLRd05ZPZ71PY-C2OPZgiTMr3_k3bf42i5FX1sLY2PZWCCwUI1QRB0OwSpBofcWGveYaYQ7fZtPWDzgosXMKEjZ_/s1600/IMG_2280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi52xTW-Pyh368tja3H4QeD2gFPUCwYJX_V7oLtkyvP-KqXTlrPgJvfcLRd05ZPZ71PY-C2OPZgiTMr3_k3bf42i5FX1sLY2PZWCCwUI1QRB0OwSpBofcWGveYaYQ7fZtPWDzgosXMKEjZ_/s200/IMG_2280.JPG" width="200" /></a>Not only did this dish look amazing it too was amazing. It is a picture perfect breakfast with is glistening apple pearls that truly are bursts of granny smith apples. Perhaps a little to sweet for this particular dish, however absolutely delicious. So delicious I would eat an entire jar of these.<br />
<br />
With an addition of roasted mushrooms and avo, the breakfast was great. Pork shoulder was perfectly smothered in a luscious sauce, but not over powering through the hollandaise. This rich and tasty breakfast is one not to pass up.<br />

<br />
Giant over loaded milk shakes that really is a meal within itself are always a fun table discussion. It can also become a somewhat regret after you finish it and have a sudden overwhelming feeling that you shouldn't have finished an entire one to yourself. Never the less, I had to do it.<br />
<br />
The choice of the Salted Caramel finished with popcorn, macarons and a giant marshmallow came out almost as big as the Eureka towers.<br />
<br />
Creamy caramel goodness left me feeling very full, but so satisfied.<br />
<br />
This delightful cafe is one that you need to try and also return to. The vibe is bustling and the staff very friendly and attentive through out. You really have to get there.<br />

It's a good place to be.<br />
<br />
Rustica is a modern and quaint little bakery that is bustling with local trade.<br />
<br />
Surprised in our luck we were able to stop in and grab a bite to eat and we were very happy we did.<br />
<br />
A Croque monsieur was not like the normal. Made with a soft pumpkin brioche and coated in cheese goodness and stuffed with ham was expected to be rich, and with seeing the size passing our table as we waited questioned how we would conquer it.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0rXua347lRHiV0F4vM9Zc4IgjomKZzOIFCvaDWHqGn7L-IrGE0vh0lP0_UMsbAkdVL_TlPiHgIsX4Gt4k-t1yhuBmTSfGBvVpH1jyhpCHwT04yoVCpEkjrvkd7tZ5Fq49hMhdgGrchFzA/s1600/IMG_3154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0rXua347lRHiV0F4vM9Zc4IgjomKZzOIFCvaDWHqGn7L-IrGE0vh0lP0_UMsbAkdVL_TlPiHgIsX4Gt4k-t1yhuBmTSfGBvVpH1jyhpCHwT04yoVCpEkjrvkd7tZ5Fq49hMhdgGrchFzA/s200/IMG_3154.JPG" width="200" /></a>To our surprise it was delicate and light and truly delicious and amazing to eat. So much so we went and brought a loaf of the pumpkin bread so we could make it at home. It's that good!<br />
<br />
I went for the selection board, filled with a salmon croquette, smashed avo, fritter and a poached egg with an oozey yolk for the hot selection. For the cold a bircher museli jar and cold pressed juice.<br />
<br />
What a fantastic idea, especially when you are so indecisive of whether you want hot or cold, savory or sweet.<br />
<br />
Although the cafe may be small, the menu is bold and have some great delicious ideas to please all palates.<br />
<br />
Once finished and your up and paying, check out the pastry and bread displays to take home. Delicate cream filled donuts and rich croissants was very welcomed in the afternoon with a cup of tea.<br />

It is a relaxing and calm beginning to a Sunday morning, and to be frank I wouldn't have it any other way.<br />
<br />
The Glass Den, positioned on the outskirts of the CBD and worth the extra drive to visit. Its tall windows and casual seating sets the scene of a relaxing and modern environment. It's everything you look for in a cafe, a stylish and hip brings nothing but pleasant moods to the scene.<br />
<br />
Soaking up the morning sun on my back I begin with a luscious St Ali blend coffee and get excited about the menu.<br />
<br />
Choosing something off the special board is always fun, it gives you more of what the chefs enjoy creating and lets them expand there minds and test new ideas.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswYuyLGmQyiJ96LNI4ZKneWnzgZU8X899ud55eXOByrY_Rkq7sCnDl3M3HQ4lbsiwGJXlqie3NYs5FeJS2hVhyaj3sZR_SdY8T-QVfa8jnwplp1uYbspU3NgIsMfGGhIp2eXxNb3yu953/s1600/IMG_1443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswYuyLGmQyiJ96LNI4ZKneWnzgZU8X899ud55eXOByrY_Rkq7sCnDl3M3HQ4lbsiwGJXlqie3NYs5FeJS2hVhyaj3sZR_SdY8T-QVfa8jnwplp1uYbspU3NgIsMfGGhIp2eXxNb3yu953/s200/IMG_1443.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
The choice of the Spinach open omelette with herded infused fetta, beetroot mousse, kale sesame crumble and red chilli was a hit. I swear it looked just like I stepped into the garden. Amazing combinations of flavors and so pretty to look at. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Vibrant green omelet covered in an array of soft mousse, salty fetta pieces and a delicate crumb was truly a delight to have.<br />
<br />
The other; Egg au Gratin. Golden hash or Gratin with confit portobello mushrooms, broccolini and a runny poached egg finished off with rich creamy hollandaise sauce and kale sesame crumb.<br />
<br />
A breakfast for the rich flavour seekers and this too was a pleasure to eat. Add a serve of the pork belly on the side and you will be set not just for breakfast but for lunch as well. A solid breakfast but really delicious to enjoy.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ys1TtR8dLx2XvF3m_blRJTN8ArPiP3CvJkI2nuIy2gO5uOJD3foZuP9voXnfz7Z6q-ZmzIHInv6subhxpr0W_4g6OhdemWw3zf2bFODH-NP8O7ohG2AGAh8LJhyphenhyphentuQ2WM9tF_5drzHv9/s1600/IMG_1444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ys1TtR8dLx2XvF3m_blRJTN8ArPiP3CvJkI2nuIy2gO5uOJD3foZuP9voXnfz7Z6q-ZmzIHInv6subhxpr0W_4g6OhdemWw3zf2bFODH-NP8O7ohG2AGAh8LJhyphenhyphentuQ2WM9tF_5drzHv9/s200/IMG_1444.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
The Glass Den will have something for everyone's palate and to go with that is licensed and have also got a great juice selection to put a little bit more oomph to the start of the day.<br />
<br />
As much as I wanted to continue to indulge my morning away here, I feel that I would have turned into Violet Beauregarde, but a little less blue and needing to be rolled back out through the door by the staff.<br />
<br />
It is a cafe that I wished I had visited earlier, but must say with the current menu offer it will be one to tell friends about.<br />

Where chefs have thought about the dish and how they can take it to the next level.<br />
<br />
Being a home cook, I sometimes wish I had the resources to do what they do, to make my casseroles blow my husbands mind and have people lining up for hours to enjoy my cooking....wait take that back, please don't line up at my door to taste my food. You get the idea though.<br />
<br />
An evening out at Supernormal was a perfect evening of cocktails and food delights. Staff where on point with service, friendly and efficient and fast. A sometime rarity, when you are in a busy restaurant the upping the ante doesn't always show.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghshJ6D48eE5A_5-Wq3f1LoRCfutqVIY84KZRe2YoN5yxccrUz7LsuNKE335JG-_9BqV_S7BZUIIMaqzHLsbXLQA5ub3RIcqqyeJJaJUPo8a0W9Bw7Adtep1SYpiM-vyOAQ9T2z6uf0pUP/s1600/IMG_1084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghshJ6D48eE5A_5-Wq3f1LoRCfutqVIY84KZRe2YoN5yxccrUz7LsuNKE335JG-_9BqV_S7BZUIIMaqzHLsbXLQA5ub3RIcqqyeJJaJUPo8a0W9Bw7Adtep1SYpiM-vyOAQ9T2z6uf0pUP/s200/IMG_1084.JPG" width="200" /></a>Food at Supernormal is inspiring, and showcase some amazing produce with sublime flavour combinations. Nothing with so much power that it hides the main component of the dish. Everything is with restraint and respect.<br />
<br />
Tuna with smoked tomato, pickles and a spring onion oil danced calmly as you enjoyed each mouthful. Tender raw tuna with crisp herbs for texture had slowly soaked up the oil and smoked tomato leaving a light and delicate combination of flavours. A perfect way to start the evening with a cocktail.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl47L2AndTmSoTWRdt9GyV-HFydza7Z9sZHp8KC_NP9ExnBY-l47DJE4bMeQeEKeqnJj1uYBtxQVMR8jETwK5CJxDsuDQp_kEKQCncfAV-rLjPur-9YMN7eUIBoIQkLQVdamXvr7aSySvB/s1600/IMG_1093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl47L2AndTmSoTWRdt9GyV-HFydza7Z9sZHp8KC_NP9ExnBY-l47DJE4bMeQeEKeqnJj1uYBtxQVMR8jETwK5CJxDsuDQp_kEKQCncfAV-rLjPur-9YMN7eUIBoIQkLQVdamXvr7aSySvB/s200/IMG_1093.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
For something a little more intense, the smoked beef with mustard leaf and clam mayonnaise was beautiful. This creamy but yet delicate dish was a pleasure to eat and worked well after the tuna. The elements worked gracefully together and if able plate licking worthy.<br />
<br />
Prawn and chicken dumplings in a chilli oil were a blessing of enjoyment. You can never say no to perfect dumplings like these. I have to say, dumplings in chilli oil are one of my favorites and these little bite sized flavour bombs did not disappoint.<br />
<br />

The one thing that you have to taste and is worth going the full serve is the Duck Bao. A twice cooked duck leg or half, served with a sticky plum sauce that you pull apart and nestle it within cloud like bao's. The skin.... oh the skin is so delectable you wish you had a bucket of it.<br />
<br />
Desserts were delivering a sweet sweet finish with a peanut butter parfait, with a thick salted caramel sauce and the softest chocolate that melts so smoothly as you glutonise over each mouthful. Such heaven of desserts, but rich all the same - so be careful or share.<br />
<br />
The other the sour cream cake, with a black sesame ice cream , strawberries and yuzo sauce. Wow what a finish. This cake is easy to eat and not too sweet. A waiters choice and a good one at that too. Highly recommended.<br />
<br />
It truly was a pleasure to eat here and surly would again. Cocktails and great food, always a fantastic combination with a friend, partner or group.<br />

There's a place on Sydney road that sits quietly as busy punters drive past, you could miss it in a blink of an eye, but you would be truly mad not to stop in.<br />
<br />
Maddox Cafe located almost adjacent to the Aldi or the Retreat, with its large glass window grasping the morning sunshine. Quaint and relaxing this small cafe is truly going to deliver some perfect coffees and delicious meals on your visit.<br />
<br />
Take for instance my pancakes. Smothered in a delicate chocolate sauce with a good serve of raspberry finished with macadamia, micro herbs and freeze dried berries. A dish for a Queen as it looks so perfect on the plate.<br />
<br />
Pancakes that are soft and almost the hight of a crumpet. Looking dense but is disguised well as they are pillow like.<br />
<br />
Although I am one to share, on this occasion it was very difficult for me to part with such a deliciously naughty breakfast.<br />
<br />
I was on holiday's so I was not to care, in actual fact I'm pretty sure if I wasn't on holiday I still wouldn't want to separate myself from these.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-VDgopv39ajYS0n0tdkJZL565W-obCfUplBBUW8K0rjsYFi4Uq1UvIku4oT2bk91EwF28_EPgnlEinqGHi_l1R631Rj0AXjZe5lemeQ80ABgqw4PVRqYs0QNYHU8q4b1xYZ9oEMzQu1iq/s1600/IMG_0208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-VDgopv39ajYS0n0tdkJZL565W-obCfUplBBUW8K0rjsYFi4Uq1UvIku4oT2bk91EwF28_EPgnlEinqGHi_l1R631Rj0AXjZe5lemeQ80ABgqw4PVRqYs0QNYHU8q4b1xYZ9oEMzQu1iq/s320/IMG_0208.jpg" width="240" /></a>In the likes of others "nom nom nom".<br />
<br />
A Big breakfast I shall call it and I apologise to Maddox for forgetting the dishes name. Served with perfect poached eggs, hallumi, bacon and fresh avo this dish was everything you could ask for.<br />
<br />
A rich relish covered the blistered tomatoes and fresh spinach and potatoes. Full natural flavours made for enormous enjoyment.<br />
<br />
Coffee here is pleasant and offering an arrangement of milks, of which with my new lactose free life, loved that there was soy and lactose free on offer.<br />
<br />
The blend was smooth and medium blend, and best of all consistent.<br />
<br />
Although a small dining area you can choose to sit at an individual table, but if you really want to embrace that morning sunshine, grab the communal table or sit on the street with the sound of the bustling Sydney road.<br />
<br />
Staff were lovely and polite and I look forward to visiting again.<br />
<br />

Bakers note: to make lining of a baking tray easier, rinse your baking paper under cold water to soften it. It becomes more flexible and easier to line trays.</div>

There's nothing to be said when you find a location that is quaint and peaceful, and for those that struggle in the morning it's always a blessing in disguise when you stumble upon it.<br />
<br />
John Gorilla Cafe is tucked in the back streets of Brunswick west and although a popular choice with the locals, it remains to be a charming and relaxing.<br />
<br />
I enjoy the places where they are the perfect balance of busy, not over crowded but continues to have full tables inside and out. People aren't sitting of laps of the unknown and you can't hear the conversations of others.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfPeaZjyxO8VCjrffctYRAz3r_b553hCmE0W6QjKHe4UchT7uLcZKUTNCT1TXn1CofGyYasMjy4VXe3TQo9ZTP59jGwwFVeiWhxa6zT4hbH1o-TJCG-jcUXSHH0Grt8WBSAceC_D5AVB1/s1600/IMG_7991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfPeaZjyxO8VCjrffctYRAz3r_b553hCmE0W6QjKHe4UchT7uLcZKUTNCT1TXn1CofGyYasMjy4VXe3TQo9ZTP59jGwwFVeiWhxa6zT4hbH1o-TJCG-jcUXSHH0Grt8WBSAceC_D5AVB1/s200/IMG_7991.jpg" width="150" /></a>Walking through the doors you are greeted by staff from a high counter filled with daily baked goods. Now I say high because I'm a shorty, for others it's probably just regular size. Anyway........<br />
<br />
Seating can be chosen from street, to inside or out back in the courtyard (my choice every time).<br />
<br />
The menu speaks simplistic flavours but each dish is packed of bold flavours making for an astonishing breakfast.<br />
<br />
On my first visit I had the pleasure of eating the fritters of corn and jalapeño served with coriander salsa and relish, adding a slather of salty bacon enhances the enjoyment of a very huge breakfast that you need to defeat.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UxIGJMmHLNZkejazvzsL2NkMG_KY7wjd133gu1hDygmSqsUIUCE9sMq20kDjeFI__ry6Hl9l8uwFJ2vlfDA0c1g1LXMqDVVd3WDMTgPHuh7qaJEOrFb3_3BL18uIKMapiKGgnCUo_b9L/s1600/IMG_9590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UxIGJMmHLNZkejazvzsL2NkMG_KY7wjd133gu1hDygmSqsUIUCE9sMq20kDjeFI__ry6Hl9l8uwFJ2vlfDA0c1g1LXMqDVVd3WDMTgPHuh7qaJEOrFb3_3BL18uIKMapiKGgnCUo_b9L/s200/IMG_9590.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
On the second time around were the beautiful picture perfect Brioche French Toast with fresh blood oranges, lime zest, toasted coconut and a ball of black sesame ice cream. Finish it with the glorious golden syrup and be whisked away to happiness.<br />
<br />
Between each of my visits the service quality has been sublime, packed with consistent check ins and also the random conversations.<br />
<br />
Coffee is of medium blend and great quality every time. Grab a take away coffee and get creative as you design the next take away coffee lid as you wait. Leaving for fun daily randomness, which is always good for personal amusements.<br />
<br />
It is easy to relax as time goes by at John Gorilla and am so pleased to have it so close by to me.<br />

Delicious juicy meat patties with glorious goodness of fresh lettuce tomato and oozy melting cheese, squished together between a bun.<br />
<br />
Talent of burger in Melbourne is a big thing right now, and the competitive structure of making the best burger is underway.<br />
<br />
In recent events one of Melbourne's top 10 burger joints just so happened to open it's doors just only a few blocks away, and this is dangerous.<br />
<br />
Rude Boy Burger located in Brunswick West and Brother to the siding cafe LoLo & Wren is sure becoming a staple in the local area, with gatherings of burger go getters from 6pm. Believe me the crowds are a good sign when it comes to eating a good burger, I have started eating dinner at 5:30 so I can get in before the others.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-YPjzIy8io7Y-lXc8NVQbcHQYxALX23fdyPLp5NU6OM6JGS0uD9c8M0jw_oabin9EjxftQgRXRwVxV0rSWZcrKifN7-qUEO-6sgph48S2eYvjdxWpriBtdUz8JFF3sH4h0Yzagj0VVWwI/s1600/IMG_8450.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-YPjzIy8io7Y-lXc8NVQbcHQYxALX23fdyPLp5NU6OM6JGS0uD9c8M0jw_oabin9EjxftQgRXRwVxV0rSWZcrKifN7-qUEO-6sgph48S2eYvjdxWpriBtdUz8JFF3sH4h0Yzagj0VVWwI/s200/IMG_8450.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
With Burgers such as the Onion Supreme, Wagyu burger topped with caramelised onion, golden onion rings, rocket, dripping melted cheese all in a soft seeded bun is mouth watering and gorgeous to eat.<br />
<br />
Attempt the Big Popper and you will be having an explosive time with the monstrous creation of a juicy wagyu patty with jalapeño poppers, lettuce, tomato, pickle, cheese and onion finished with a chimichurri sauce.<br />
<br />
There's no better way to compliment your burgers than to grab some of those loaded fries and finish it all off with a good old Milkshake.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5AQ3bDS9uuBWbld63Bc2etqBAeGCiC2bOXlN-1fgjlZaw7QmMjUy_3VspavgF6E-JKb3cvK0nGC5b91BZjLFhLXOm04mNPVSz_jUVRHdrDNPi7Ucye5-Ts5fMhPnl17fnHH3dvAGZGv_X/s1600/IMG_8448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5AQ3bDS9uuBWbld63Bc2etqBAeGCiC2bOXlN-1fgjlZaw7QmMjUy_3VspavgF6E-JKb3cvK0nGC5b91BZjLFhLXOm04mNPVSz_jUVRHdrDNPi7Ucye5-Ts5fMhPnl17fnHH3dvAGZGv_X/s200/IMG_8448.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
On our first time there the Cubano fries stood out with it's slow cooked pork, mustard, pickles, chorizo, cheese sauce and may.<br />
<br />
The Ghetto Fries. Loaded with jalapeño, cheese sauce, avocado and chipotle relish, also a great choice.<br />
<br />
Golden fries smothered in amazing flavour combinations is one to share with a friend. To have a serve on your own with a burger will only make you explode. They are a meal in themselves.<br />
<br />
Milkshakes vary from visits with the choices of the old fashioned Tim Tam slam to a strawberry cheesecake or a vanilla slice.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7BjUQ2N65G8iTOh0h81sa0ArFPOl1OjMT7mi7NaU_P5F1wSehapjCNv0RMqrCFfvCQH1YmrlorO6Ftjvz_dEmAVyPUOPlw5EmUdENSF7txfVhityowakZWK_qkSeBIRL9WXlbNug_dllK/s1600/IMG_8443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7BjUQ2N65G8iTOh0h81sa0ArFPOl1OjMT7mi7NaU_P5F1wSehapjCNv0RMqrCFfvCQH1YmrlorO6Ftjvz_dEmAVyPUOPlw5EmUdENSF7txfVhityowakZWK_qkSeBIRL9WXlbNug_dllK/s200/IMG_8443.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
When I also say tim tam, cheese cake or vanilla slice, I am legit. Fill that blender with what seems to be a packet of tim tams and and finish it off with a splash of milk and by golly me it turns into liquid gold.<br />
<br />
At Rude Boy the service is far from Rude. It is polite and efficient serving you as fast as they can and still smile when under the pump.<br />
<br />
Dine in or take those buns of heaven away, their will be no disappointment here. My fingers are crossed for Home delivery.... Wink Wink.<br />
<br />
It's a good thing these guys are listed in the top 10 of Melbourne's best burgers, because they are droolingly delicious.<br />

It always starts with a coffee, and as I write this I'm thinking 'man I speak a lot about coffee and must look like a complete idiot in a shop making the perfect picture of what I drink'. But do you know what..... I don't mind looking like one of those people.<br />
<br />
I love escaping and what could be something that is boring to some can really mean a lot to the other. When I write, I have to say it's like I've eaten the meal twice.<br />
<br />
I remember the hints of salt and the textures and the smells drift past. The roasts of the coffee and the sweetness of the desserts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4DIbVApQr7nFZDTwTbKuL_3hENvCJWXgB3okyFY9sVSmfn2nGrx7xD99kuBs-CjqeF5jz9D7BAfMQEMUprzb2Gzv2c9GBFf7dcB3fNfFD9d-18J1LniGQBUpmMsQAbx9wbi9rgl_u6YqM/s1600/IMG_8517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4DIbVApQr7nFZDTwTbKuL_3hENvCJWXgB3okyFY9sVSmfn2nGrx7xD99kuBs-CjqeF5jz9D7BAfMQEMUprzb2Gzv2c9GBFf7dcB3fNfFD9d-18J1LniGQBUpmMsQAbx9wbi9rgl_u6YqM/s200/IMG_8517.jpg" width="150" /></a>I've recently had the adventure of dining at Fitzroy's Stagger Lee's. A quaint corner cafe that is rich in style with it's deep wooden tables and with eclectic touches of design.<br />
<br />
A BBQ Beef Brisket toasty would always be a good option here with it's beer onions, cheese fondue, Luscious golden fried egg and the side of dill pickles and mustard.<br />
<br />
It's one for a man who loves their meet and the vinegar sensations of the pickles. Think of the combinations of sweet onions, rich yolk from the egg immerse into the delicate brisket meet. Add a serve of crunchy golden wedges on the side and you have what is to be a perfect combination of flavour.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdk4RaYubzXw__ToewdnOuyCh_b5tmfdJvJyHrGgnM171DJoI8gtJ7Ck-rLT9RO4Ongd9eQm8abQIyrXM1lL-L0o-3DFJtqnL9ssmCyhkbIT6sIsmWiFtQ_jv-18IbMxynzyS5UE5BVgYE/s1600/IMG_8523.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdk4RaYubzXw__ToewdnOuyCh_b5tmfdJvJyHrGgnM171DJoI8gtJ7Ck-rLT9RO4Ongd9eQm8abQIyrXM1lL-L0o-3DFJtqnL9ssmCyhkbIT6sIsmWiFtQ_jv-18IbMxynzyS5UE5BVgYE/s200/IMG_8523.JPG" width="200" /></a>For something rich and unique to the area would be the Chilled Spanner Crab and Prawn trifle.<br />
<br />
A refreshing dish for a hot summers day with it's spiced tomato sauce, avocado and herb greens, prawn bisque and served with a fresh cucumber salad and flat bread.<br />
<br />
I rich and silky trifle of big bold flavours of the see and married with fresh avocado and spiced tomato. Possibly not one for those who have just started eating seafood. It is a very powerful dish.<br />
<br />
Spread the trifle over your crisp flat breads and add a slice of your fresh cucumber and it explodes the taste of joy in your mouth. Although I could not finish it as it was so rich, it was still a pleasure to eat and was really refreshing.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0II8H-F_C_ftbbejJ4nAOWMhzqIvL4hBuS0C8JR7w5YtKrrmri_Umi4Mc1eECFBYPOjP0V5fggMc4HjmkDeuuwBIo1I3LPI-GP4yX8-C-TG6U5EtJw3020nvB2ujX-apY1IR2V4IXkskK/s1600/IMG_8536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0II8H-F_C_ftbbejJ4nAOWMhzqIvL4hBuS0C8JR7w5YtKrrmri_Umi4Mc1eECFBYPOjP0V5fggMc4HjmkDeuuwBIo1I3LPI-GP4yX8-C-TG6U5EtJw3020nvB2ujX-apY1IR2V4IXkskK/s200/IMG_8536.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
To finish of your day like all people should, is with something sweet. With the Wily Wonka Waffles you can't go wrong. Decked out with caramel, sea salt chocolate, freeze dried raspberries, explosions of popping candy, soda pop jelly and honeycomb ice cream I'm sure no one would complain.<br />
<br />
It's like the lolly shop has come to you on a plate covering golden waffles and an explosion of sweetness.<br />
<br />
It brings joy to faces and although not a dish to have for breakfast, knowing that it is there you feel naughty thinking about it. I say do it. You only live once and yes be greedy and have it all to yourself.<br />
<br />
It was a relaxing experience with lovely service and good food. The locals show to spend a lot of time here making it to be the one to check out.<br />

Pear<br />
Green Chilli<br />
Lime juice<br />
Acovado dressing<br />
Tabasco sauce (for an extra kick)<br />
<br />
<i><b>Method:</b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a pan, slowly heat up the pulled pork</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thinly cut the kale into thin strips and great your cabbage and carrot and place into a salad bowl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chop your spring onions (set 1/2 aside) and chilli into small pieces as well as the pear, cutting it into small match stick sizes.</div>

A delicate palate of stone, timber and white decor leaves for an enticing relaxed environment with it's open seating space which is bustling with Sunday morning punters.<br />
<br />
Welcome to Sir Charles.<br />
<br />
With a warm welcome from staff as we enter the doors we are sat and coffee ordered instantly with only moments before they are delivered.<br />
<br />
Now coffee being delivered so fast makes me think 2 things.... the baristas are controlled and understand the deliverance of perfect coffee at a rapid pace or that these guys realise the need of getting coffee orders out fast before their Sunday morning customers get into a rage because of the lack of caffeine.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3UMmE9Ib0JCW1v0l3LJyl0mZ_0FNaFbn8UQMm09U3gQKzKMq3a7NW1bCT5doLNtx3HaKwlB42HXQxkA1WmYUSJvHTal_Uunj3CG156y-QOT89FkIKEERL5mRcEwFp-BdUtCY73Spd1GHJ/s1600/IMG_8246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3UMmE9Ib0JCW1v0l3LJyl0mZ_0FNaFbn8UQMm09U3gQKzKMq3a7NW1bCT5doLNtx3HaKwlB42HXQxkA1WmYUSJvHTal_Uunj3CG156y-QOT89FkIKEERL5mRcEwFp-BdUtCY73Spd1GHJ/s200/IMG_8246.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
Either way I am not complaining. And to tell you the truth, I am going to say it's the first. The coffee was delicious and had a perfect balance to the blend.<br />
<br />
What drew me to Sir Charles was the delicious menu they have on offer. It reads only mouth watering dishes that use perfect flavour combinations that would make anyone happy.<br />
<br />
For instance this Miss Piggy dish best describes an adventure of Pork. Crispy skin milk braised pork belly served with orange and sweet potato puree, herbed Kohlrabi salad, sweet potato crisps and finished with a horseradish dressing.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHs3iRtndXlobnBc2D9Raw63ECv15-JkTZUe0qVPaoSaNd1Y-taYfuozbJK8vg-SdbpiCPyD-lyeq4dPLN-FS5vXHIK12Lxm9ixf4jDD8ThGzcrvpTBgAUuFV8cH8H1D11D2qUgD0b9mZ0/s1600/IMG_8251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHs3iRtndXlobnBc2D9Raw63ECv15-JkTZUe0qVPaoSaNd1Y-taYfuozbJK8vg-SdbpiCPyD-lyeq4dPLN-FS5vXHIK12Lxm9ixf4jDD8ThGzcrvpTBgAUuFV8cH8H1D11D2qUgD0b9mZ0/s200/IMG_8251.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
Now as much as you want to lick the screen to taste this sensation, it would probably be best if you didn't. It wouldn't help you.<br />
<br />
Luscious puree melted into the delicate sweet port belly and with a salty crackling made for a purely amazing dish, one you lick the plate for.<br />
<br />
The other meal that was insanely impressive was the Salmon Benedict. Now you may have just read that and said really? Benedict, they are all the same, well let me tell you something...... they aren't. wWell not here anyway.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBmOjTw8NFGrRzI4PKJROnn6rpg71gJSK0aSWKjtJ0qzWc2f7xLsgYFN5qvKFYoQrL46IAIavPp6rj8JY-ST73KcQG8NZVZqapcxZ3zAxHPfhT5ztqCkR9GZiX8mnu_SY_VDKmIXknSut/s1600/IMG_8255.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBmOjTw8NFGrRzI4PKJROnn6rpg71gJSK0aSWKjtJ0qzWc2f7xLsgYFN5qvKFYoQrL46IAIavPp6rj8JY-ST73KcQG8NZVZqapcxZ3zAxHPfhT5ztqCkR9GZiX8mnu_SY_VDKmIXknSut/s200/IMG_8255.JPG" width="200" /></a>The Salmon Benedict is a creations of Panko crumbed eggs, sriarcha mayonnaise, fresh chilli and bacon served on roti bread.<br />
<br />
This light and delicious breakfast was something that made me filled with happiness. Eggs that are soft and oozing with golden yolk as you cut through.<br />
<br />
The lack of the standard english muffin and replaced with a crisp roti bread made a lighter choice and allowed for flavours to burst out rather than be hidden by bread.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeHzySkaWn3HW7lvRDOBIMOL30CvK-mCN6zSktL_hCSKSWvHLA2FFWThS0IoL4C79BDZAwIHvV-DJ33J8YZpoXkDURa-lATrqu5tk7l1nUL3gQZpsJ0bO0rQVcJm7vyFVF0BBOqCgHtdw/s1600/IMG_8260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeHzySkaWn3HW7lvRDOBIMOL30CvK-mCN6zSktL_hCSKSWvHLA2FFWThS0IoL4C79BDZAwIHvV-DJ33J8YZpoXkDURa-lATrqu5tk7l1nUL3gQZpsJ0bO0rQVcJm7vyFVF0BBOqCgHtdw/s200/IMG_8260.jpg" width="150" /></a>For the sweet tooths check out the salted caramel hot chocolate, it is scrumptious. The other to check out which I will be returning for is the Peanut butter and Jelly, coconut and peanut butter porridge served with maple cream, strawberry jell and praline only screams AMAZING!<br />
<br />
There no hesitation that I will be back an eating my way through these dishes exploring the destiny of the perfect menu and gorgeous presentation the Sir Charles delivers.<br />
<br />
It is with this that now my mouth is watering in the anticipation of going again, where I will finish before my mind explodes of temptation.<br />
<br />
See you soon Sir Charles and to the readers, maybe I will see you there too.<br />

However I think I have come across cloud 10.<br />
<br />
Hash specialty coffee and roasters are delivering a unique theatrical adventure where you yourself can experience your very own cloud. A cloud of fairy floss that is.<br />
<br />
Sitting delicately in a cup you gaze into the floss and pour luscious silky chocolate and watch it disappear before your eyes and creates the best hot chocolate I have had in a very long time.<br />
<br />
Using a dark chocolate and designing the fairy floss to become the sugar component of this drink, it creates a luxurious silky hot chocolate that only makes you want more, but don't go crazy it's still intense and rich.<br />
<br />

Dining with a friend today the chocolate was what I had heard a lot about, however their is no reason why we can't stay and enjoy a spot of lunch.<br />
<br />
A simple but glamorous menu makes for a hard decision but the one thing that stood out to me were the croquettes. Who doesn't love a golden crumb coating with smooth delicate insides?<br />
<br />
I know for certain I can't refuse<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5r8zKYjGcGdrv4FD_4wDCZORvPjfMejRB5HZW65tiTj95wd0ot8Qecm2myouoTDlKqUjDcuTkbaVgqOVvjJVWNDtr3EeNPz35RvY0EtEwFT8xjTCSm6q1WqZGrbhqhlTHKh8jqSi7xZx/s1600/IMG_8374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5r8zKYjGcGdrv4FD_4wDCZORvPjfMejRB5HZW65tiTj95wd0ot8Qecm2myouoTDlKqUjDcuTkbaVgqOVvjJVWNDtr3EeNPz35RvY0EtEwFT8xjTCSm6q1WqZGrbhqhlTHKh8jqSi7xZx/s200/IMG_8374.JPG" width="200" /></a>At Hash their croquettes were Leek and cheddar flavour that sat atop of cauliflower puree, ham hock, kale and s turmeric egg.<br />
<br />
Golden crispy coating surrounded the smooth luscious leek and cheddar filling. The puree itself was delicate in flavours which allowed the ham hock and kale to come out and shine. <br />

My friend in crime today chose the Crushed Avocado. Avocado finished with chilli, coriander and lime and accompanies with toasted corn arepas and cherry tomatoes. Something so simple but was told was delicious.<br />
<br />
With light meals being offered while you indulge in other things, it leaves for a pleasant experience and able to spend time chatting the afternoon in the quieter end of Hardware street.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4HGM8tWLE02gKSv7ZIBqi55InXCP-d_3lHFjSQbE0lzXC4xNcT1R2bHmwHbY7sR1Pe-F7RlQ3jRGJvMXyyzJuiw5dIDlJnTvJ0fwJjVwqd1fKpxOn29efiwyR1jHQ_l2jZV-_S79yhIWY/s1600/IMG_8345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4HGM8tWLE02gKSv7ZIBqi55InXCP-d_3lHFjSQbE0lzXC4xNcT1R2bHmwHbY7sR1Pe-F7RlQ3jRGJvMXyyzJuiw5dIDlJnTvJ0fwJjVwqd1fKpxOn29efiwyR1jHQ_l2jZV-_S79yhIWY/s200/IMG_8345.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="150" /></a>If you are not a chocolate fan, the coffee is also one to enjoy. Full bodied and medium strength. The crema is dark and is and easy drink to the palate.<br />
<br />
Sure on weekends this place will be crowded of punters trying to grasp onto the newest thing on the city streets, and I laugh as I watch the staff hold back as others just like myself want to get the best photo available.<br />
<br />
The staff are friendly and relaxed, which makes for an easy dining experience. Their is no feel of rush although they are attentive but not hovering to push you back out the door.<br />
<br />
Will I be going back? Of course, although my friend has already bet me in returning.<br />
<br />
She clearly couldn't wait to go again to try something new like the Grilled Banana and pecan loaf served with blueberries, milk crumb, burnt honey marscapone and whit chocolate custard.<br />
<br />
Her response..... OMG Best decision EVER!<br />

<br />
The aroma of fresh roasted beans that seeps the smell of the beautiful oils, is just the beginning. Like a drug I wake up and within minutes a coffee is in my hand without remembering how it got there.<br />
<br />
Today in our daily life we venture out to find the perfect blend of bean and the best Barista in town that can deliver on the expectations of fine coffee.<br />
<br />
Melbourne being known for it's cafes and coffee, it is sure that each individual knows where to stop for their morning brew.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlcFtnV9kJsN0sR9Jc2j0E8KPHQEtNCYOTVRvstu1qSL5pUyRBnli_jg9VUEoHjvmVjmKbIFMJvSROQ9rPzlgfsaiNf3LmBgs5HptUk7BRncTjYvDodCC6OInI-J_sG88JN0e8WHFtBy3o/s1600/IMG_4772.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlcFtnV9kJsN0sR9Jc2j0E8KPHQEtNCYOTVRvstu1qSL5pUyRBnli_jg9VUEoHjvmVjmKbIFMJvSROQ9rPzlgfsaiNf3LmBgs5HptUk7BRncTjYvDodCC6OInI-J_sG88JN0e8WHFtBy3o/s200/IMG_4772.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
My question is however how long do you expect to wait?<br />
<br />
I once waited 45 minutes in a busy city cafe in it's opening week just to get a bunny on my latte. Sure if you were with a group of other enthusiasts to get a bunny on their latte it wouldn't be a problem, but I was on my own. Boring and lonely.<br />
<br />
Was it worth it you ask? Sure, the coffee was well balanced and I got pretty excited to see that bunny smiling at me. Would I do it again? NO.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKEnf3yOaN43dKIawuaC4ca_OsqiPRrAV4TDTzwklU-KsLD3mUhhneQ3PuXswmvJL51eJAinirojm-MMi-Cplzw0t5aumlPeEvRq7umDfJEaEt2OOGGWHgATN-nCttYVwAEdgFKfLZn830/s1600/IMG_6886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKEnf3yOaN43dKIawuaC4ca_OsqiPRrAV4TDTzwklU-KsLD3mUhhneQ3PuXswmvJL51eJAinirojm-MMi-Cplzw0t5aumlPeEvRq7umDfJEaEt2OOGGWHgATN-nCttYVwAEdgFKfLZn830/s200/IMG_6886.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
I understand that the Barista has more things to think about and it's a technique that not everyone understands.<br />
<br />
Each bean variety contains a different flavour, and to extract the oil from those beans to make the delicious crema that holds all the flavours you taste can be hard.<br />
<br />
To ensure the deliverance of the quality is the entirety of what the consumer demands to receive.<br />
<br />
I wonder though, and it is what I recently think most about is why can meals come out from a kitchen quicker than a coffee.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBX5yJpgsbETrWmB3VGrX_wh5lVfA2H-_qK-vXo-KLf5fwFBAh9AAL63K7kZREKTBiL3Hkza3tpDEXgm0K8VyAA2wkJZcUufH5cMsj7L6ZdkrRSz_cgLItySyj-oJZzVYn_eFf4elDCW7D/s1600/IMG_5358.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBX5yJpgsbETrWmB3VGrX_wh5lVfA2H-_qK-vXo-KLf5fwFBAh9AAL63K7kZREKTBiL3Hkza3tpDEXgm0K8VyAA2wkJZcUufH5cMsj7L6ZdkrRSz_cgLItySyj-oJZzVYn_eFf4elDCW7D/s200/IMG_5358.jpg" width="150" /></a>In a lot of places I visit now, you order your coffee as soon as you are seated. You peruse the menu for a good solid 5 minutes maybe longer when your with someone, and yet your meal is served to you before your coffee has hit the table.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not discussing the cafes that place the bunny's on my lattes or the Lions in my cup. Those of course you expect to wait, you should never distract an artist.<br />
<br />
I'm talking about the love hearts or the roses. These techniques are the beginning of every Baristas life. Some of the time it's taken that long to get the pretty pattern on the top that it comes to you tepid and the milk has started to aerate and bubble.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_6R-GAhaowyuHuFJ2KsyHPiJKKnxFsQ2ZBy2CN9kld-ElnSUghKiDLwLuaBj1pKzdbe9tQA29FDtBHXO29xfMhZEkpfvqY9GKTShyDS0EowYjEHcgzmCWJHLAQZWMJqzXMRkxFfDUdnrf/s1600/IMG_8125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_6R-GAhaowyuHuFJ2KsyHPiJKKnxFsQ2ZBy2CN9kld-ElnSUghKiDLwLuaBj1pKzdbe9tQA29FDtBHXO29xfMhZEkpfvqY9GKTShyDS0EowYjEHcgzmCWJHLAQZWMJqzXMRkxFfDUdnrf/s200/IMG_8125.jpg" width="150" /></a>I'm on the foreground of service and have a team that deliver monstrous amounts of coffee everyday. I value the perfect roast and my team ensures the grind is right and deliver consistency, and on down time they get to do lion's in cups. But I feel that the importance of a consumer is to ensure the coffee is out within 3 minutes and that flavours are perfect.<br />
<br />
Im not sure that each individual wants the art, especially when they just want a quick cuppa or don't have time to wait and get a take away. Even then you'd feel like it's taking 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Have we slowed the service down, by expanding these expectations onto our Barista's. The Roasters have provided Melbourne's cafes with amazing blends, all of which come with scales and automatic grinders, which and dare I say it, back in my day never existed.<br />
<br />
Do I classify myself as a Barista? Yes. In 1999 and for many years after I spent hours behind the machine serving the cappuccino with mountains of froth, and in that time the more froth you got the better barista you were. Now not only do I feel OLD, I have developed with the trends to ensure the blend is maximised in flavour and the service is gainfully friendly. But what saddens me is that if ever I was asked if I was a Barista, I would have to say no due to the fact that I can't do art.<br />
<br />
I have always been told by many roasters, that for a good coffee it is within the flavour of the bean. And I will always stand by that.<br />

Where did the blue skies go? 2 days ago we were all praising the first day of spring and today we are back in out woollen jumpers venturing to grasp a hot coffee and comfort foods.<br />
<br />
Twenty & Six is a quaint little cafe away from the main street of North Melbourne. Here it sits with it's cozy and calm interior making it the perfect spot to get out of the chill in the air.<br />
<br />
Staff greet with a pleasant welcome and have ensured that coffee is ordered as soon as you are seated.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisJ5rwmz7BSURuu1ZubWeCyVn7HKjUmnSLUpe4pIewi8ChYblBwnR-0QkQJ895IB6IssCTt8HBBUd5B2OrPUuvtgD_HNukvjyzMTkY9CV9dPupvNEx7dCQqjW_IVdDh7tCPUMHKWftWOJH/s1600/IMG_7624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisJ5rwmz7BSURuu1ZubWeCyVn7HKjUmnSLUpe4pIewi8ChYblBwnR-0QkQJ895IB6IssCTt8HBBUd5B2OrPUuvtgD_HNukvjyzMTkY9CV9dPupvNEx7dCQqjW_IVdDh7tCPUMHKWftWOJH/s200/IMG_7624.jpg" width="150" /></a>The menu speaks fresh and flavoursome and being filled with an array of dishes, showcasing a large use of fruit and vegetables.<br />
<br />
For me the Sticky black rice pudding with banana, coconut cream, passionfruit and buffed rice. As it is presented the aroma of passionfruit surrounds you. Your mouth instantly connects with your senses and can't wait to hoe into it.<br />
<br />
Elegantly presented in a large bowl that you can wrap your arms around as your spoon is dug through the fresh ingredients.<br />
<br />
Not overly sweet and well balanced with the sprinkles of the puffed rice and crisp sugary corn flake pieces.<br />

<br />
The problem for me was that I couldn't finish it. I wanted to believe me, it's delicious, but alas I met my match.<br />
<br />
Twenty & Six is a lovely quiet place to sit and unwind during the week, watching the world go by, read a book with a coffee and just escape to some peace.<br />
<br />
Weekends they are packed with locals and being a place that can sit about 20 inside at 8 or so outside, you'd need to get in early for your morning brew and breakfast.<br />
<br />
I'd be interested in returning again to try some savoury dishes with the Herb crusted kingfish ceviche or the lamb shoulder being my next picks. Otherwise I'm going for the Brioche french toast, but taking a friend so I can steal some of theres to compare.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">With a big appetite for food but
wanting to get away from the usual breakfast flavours I stumbled by Mighty Boy
Eatery and am glad that it happened.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">This small eatery decked with
cement polished floors, simplistic white brick walls and wooden seating, made
for a calm feel. Not being over crowded in design work made for an open and
relaxed environment to diners.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">An all-Asian inspired menu
speaks unique to the palate when going for breakfast. Different from the
surrounding competition of Fitzroy, leaves it to be one of a kind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

is far from what I am used to and for a person who hasn’t been to anywhere in
Asia leaves me nervous to choose. But hey, it’s all about the adventure right? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">With a menu that says “Our
Favourite” next to a dish made for ease of mind. Coconut Soup with roasted
banana, peanuts and black sesame seeds was a delightful sweet dish. Warm
coconut milk exposing slight roast banana essence as it lay at the base of your
bowl. On a rainy winter day this was nothing better to experience. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Now I have to say, I was by
myself when I had the Coconut soup and was so excited about it, I had to return
with Paul so I could try more things. That’s got to say something right!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

as amazing as the first. Paul even showed excitement to the choices.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">The choice to have the Soul egg
and the Potato hash was on the cards. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Soul Eggs, delicately cooked
with brioche soldiers, smoked salmon and a citrus ricotta with Thai basil
leaves was a delicate and rich breakfast. With touches of chilli it made for a
great well balanced breakfast, but nothing to intense.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with chilli, poached egg and spring onion too was delicious. Crispy thin potato
hash added a complex texture and caught the flavours of the chilli heat. We
added a side of spiced sausage, which was bold in flavour and added depth to
the dish.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Now I am normally one to laugh
at those who eat out and just order the toast with condiments. Because seriously…
why wouldn’t you try something outside the square?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">But here I will commend you in
trying the Kaya toast. A sweet egg custard topped brioche slices lightly
toasted, sprinkled with coconut. On the side lightly poached eggs and soy
sauce. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Confused as to how to eat it, on
it’s own with no egg or soy the brioche is overloaded in sweetness making it
similar to the custard buns and can make it difficult to get through. To cut
through the sweet flavours spread some egg and pour some soy over the top and
you have just created this sweet salty combination that brings your tastebuds
alive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Exposed brick walls decorated
with old create boxes and industrial lighting is just the beginning of your
experience at Lux Foundry. The pleasant feel of an organic inspired interior
always makes for a pleasant experience and well suited for the Brunswick scene.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Local brew of Proud Mary never
goes astray with the knowledge that the coffee will be respected and deliver on
a full-bodied blend. It is always a great to support your local businesses and
with me being a fan of Proud Mary, I fell it can only deliver just as much on
the food.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

staff the relaxed atmosphere is heightened knowing you will be looked after
well. Both diners and staff all seem to be smiling and watching the floor as I
often do I couldn’t feel the stress of what you would usually see on a busy
Saturday morning. All tables inside and out are full, but yet the staff are
relaxed and so to are the diners.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">So what to eat…..? The menu
speaks to you in fresh and delicious flavour combinations but yet not over loading
in overpowering produce that would leave to an undesired meal.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">This morning we abolished some
rather tasty breakfast of the Smoked Salmon and the Breakfast Quesadilla.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">The Smoked Salmon breakfast
served with cauliflower fritters served on top of a horseradish crème fraiche,
capers and lemon. Your choice to add the poached egg of which I highly
recommend, it is done perfectly and oozes nothing but yolky goodness over the
fritters.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">If you would like to add a hint
of spice to the dish I can also recommend the most amazing well-balanced
accompaniment of the caramel chilli. Oh my such a glorious thing, if the
heavens were opened they would be singing sweet choir songs of happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">The Breakfast Quesadilla is
filled with subtle spiced refried beans, cheese, cactus, and tomatillo salsa verde,
chilli and coriander. A pleasant meal but would have liked more of a morning
kick of spice in there. To ours we added some chorizo and a side of green
chilli relish, which assisted in the kick we were after.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">With the ordinary choices of the
usual Big Breakfast to the more unique of the Smoked Salmon or the quesadilla I
don’t know why you wouldn’t want to venture and explore the horizons of flavour
combinations at breakfast and go for something you wouldn’t cook yourself at
home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">With service being on a high and
meals that are respected and look amazing it is a place you wouldn’t want to
miss for much longer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"> Enjoying some Costa Rica Sonora Bourbon blend
presented by filter you can taste the essence of sweet praline, honey and apple
with notes of citrus. A well-balanced brew with delicate flavour notes makes
for a pleasant easy to drink black coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">For
something completely different you should try some cold brew. Cold coffee
slightly carbonated and served on tap. On a hot day this will make for a
pleasurable cool escape whilst you unwind in the afternoon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

shown around we are told about the research that is gone into each brew and the
regions of where it has come from. We are shown the foie gras of beans where
the last of it’s kind is existent and studies of roasting are in action to
ensure the essences of pollination will be heightened to ensure the flavours of
the beans are respected.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
