Sneak peek of my China travels
Beginning at the lower reaches of the Yangtze river westward to the mountainous regions bordering South East Asia, we travel through many cities, cultures and of course consuming much food, ranging through good, average and utterly dreadful. Anyways whilst I sift through my 2000 snapshots, here is a quick reel of photos giving a sneak … Continue reading
Caf̩ Vue РHeide & Melb airport
This in all truth is a bit of an odd post. Firstly there are two parts to the post, and they were not on the same day. Secondly, whilst they are affiliated with each other, one was disappointingly boring, whilst the other is indulgently delicious but painfully so. So, let me tell you why… Café … Continue reading
Dead Man Espresso
35 Market St South Melbourne, 3205 03 9686 2255 I, sad to say, have only just realised that South Melbourne is such a haven for remarkable café treasures.

French Lettuce Patisserie & Bakery
237 Nicholson St Carlton, 3053 03 9347 7311 What better place to get a birthday cake than from this 30 year old patisserie out on Nicholson St just a short walk off Alexandra parade. Though fairly remote (far from most other shops), despite nearing closing time there were still diners about and a small queue … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
JJ’s bar and grill – dessert please!
Crown Entertainment Complex 8 Whiteman St Southbank, 3006 03 9292 6891 This place has had its fair share of debate and mixed reviews over the years. So I was a little surprised that Ms JG decided this would be the backup plan after our failed attempt to obtain a table at Coda for dessert. But … Continue reading

91-93 Flinders Lane Melbourne, 3000 03 9663 2800 Normally I would not be able to enjoy the luxuries of having lunch in the city mid week.
