Not forgotten but unwritten – Vue, Enoteca, Regency…
Still in the midst of writing up Japan, planning for Europe, and miles behind posts from late last year and this year, there are not many cracks in time to actually “catch up” on writing. Hence this post fo various eats, and events… they are unwritten but certainly not forgotten. Worthy Chinese Cuisine on King … Read more
Foodie Affair
A quick roundup on a Food Affair event, showcasing Marion Grosby. This is going to be a recurring theme (comment): this goes back several months now! SO I’ll stop saying it from now. Please see here, here, here, and here for reviews written much closer to the date. I must admit I’m not the biggest … Read more
Brasserie Bread Melbourne – launch @ South Melbourne
In true chaotic form, I will fast forward ‘many-a’ post to write about this newly opened brasserie on the back streets of South Melbourne. My intention would have been to revisit the newly launched café section, to give a more comprehensive perspective, but this post can wait no longer. From the unassuming exterior of this … Read more
WLG Pop up restaurant – Melbourne stop
A quick post before I head off for my second serving of WLG in Fitzroy. I’ll have a proper post SOON, with all my tasty descriptions and more drool-worthy photos. Some of New Zealand’s finest wines on show! Slow-cooked venis0n in Tunisian brik pastry with veal sweetbreads, broad beans, peas and pancetta. Whittaker’s Dark Chocolate … Read more
Luxbite – Summer Collection
Summer and Christmas are coming up! So on preparation for this, Yen and Bernard have added extra sparkles of white-Christmas, and a touch of tropical vibrancy from summery fruits to their new Summer Collection. A lot of new items added, and some revamped with new twist. I’ve been to Luxbite a few (*ahem*) times before … Read more
Homemade Durian Fest in Melbourne – with Mao Shan Wang
All those who clicked when you saw MSW (mao shan wang – loosely translated as cat mountain king), I may have just duped you into thinking MSW is available to buy in Melbourne. In fact they are not YET available here to my knowledge. If you know the right people you may be able to … Read more
Papagoose – Marriage of food and wine by Wine Selectors
It is a normal reaction to be excited for a dinner invitation inclusive of food-and-wine, but when one gets disproportionately jovial and distracted you know you have stepped into the dark realms of no return – food blogger syndrome. Such is that of my life… not that I’m complaining. Rushing in from work, finding parking … Read more
Brunetti – Food trail
Truth be told, I never thought I would visit Brunetti again, in part due to my dislike of Lygon Street, but also in part due to previous experiences. But being easily swayed to anything that comes without a price tag, I thought I would give this place another go when Ashley from Food Pampering suggested … Read more
Fog Restaurant – Prahran
142 Greville St Prahran, 3181 03 9521 3155 I don’t often travel to Prahran, and of the few occasions I have they have been for HuTong and reluctantly for Chapel St. With its dark exterior and fairly minimal lighting within I would be lying if I said I had noticed it on Greville St on … Read more
Luxbite – cakefest
{Luxbite} 38 Toorak Road South Yarra, 3141 03 9867 5888 Not long following a satisfying macaron fix, a sugar-crammed-cake-fest was already in the making. In view of Luxbite being a relatively small space, it would not have been viably possible to fit in more than a small group of 10, so it was essentially first … Read more
Omah’s – 10 people, 9 crab!
{Omah’s Malaysian – Port Melbourne} 138 Rouse St Port Melbourne, 3207 03 9676 9918 Omah’s has been around for practically 5 years now, but as of a couple of months ago I had never heard of it before. Without taking credit away from the chefs, I must say that with the help of social media … Read more
Chillipadi – Food trail Part 2
Shop Oe7 Menzies Aly Little Lonsdale St Melbourne, 3000 03 9663 5688 If you missed out on part 1 of this food slog, please see HERE. … and to think that we were approaching the end of our feast with a full and satisfied stomach, Robert (aka Uncle Robert) suggested us to try some of … Read more
Chillipadi – Food Trail
Shop Oe7 Menzies Aly Little Lonsdale St Melbourne, 3000 03 9663 5688 Having enjoyed a pleasant surprise at the previous Food trail event, I was quick to jump on board with another of Ashley’s food-coma adventures. I can’t say I have been a frequenter to Chilli Padi, partly since most of my university life has … Read more
Good Food & Wine Show 2011 – Melbourne
In view that the GFWS will be finishing up tomorrow, I thought I’d make a SUPER-quick post on it for those who haven’t yet been. For less than $30 and a $3 wine glass, you can devour produce and sip wines from all over Australia. There are of course celebrity chef shows, wine tasting events, … Read more

However, I look forward to sharing with everyone all the food I’ve engorged and delicious photos from China amongst my many catch-up posts! Yours hungrily, AAR 139-141 Lygon Street Carlton, VIC 3053 03 9347 4393 Thanks to Ashley from Food Pampering and … Read more
Marquee Restaurant Bar – Top Melbourne Party
445 Toorak Rd Melbourne, 3142 03 9827 7938 A few of weeks back I was very delighted to be invited along to a Top Melbourne Party to celebrate the newly opened Marquee at Trak Centre. Given we were allowed to bring a +1, I decided I’d bring mum along as part of a small treat for her … Read more
‘Mad Hatter’ Spring Picnic – Melbourne Food Bloggers
It was a beautiful cool but sunny day at Studley Park – perfect weather to gather and meat (oh, oops did I type that, I meant ‘meet’) the 30+ wonderful faces from the Melbourne food blogging community and equally awesome accompanying dishes of course. There was so much to try, and so many people to … Read more
