East-side brunch series: Yumcha for brunch? David’s. Wealth Garden.
Part 2 of east-side brunch series… When one suggests brunch, it is not unusual to conjure images of scrambled eggs, fritters, bacon and all those awesome things mostly European inspired. How many people think of yum cha as being a brunch option first up? I do it on a frequent basis, but when I was … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

HuTong Dumpling Bar (Prahran)
161 Commercial Rd The Cullen Hotel Prahran The fully glass frontage putting much of the interior on display showcases the confidence the owner has in nearly always functioning at capacity. This is equally paralleled by a transparent working kitchen within. Xiao long bao’s (steamed pork dumplings – 小笼包) – stood tall in the centre … Continue reading
