Chef Lagenda – curry Laksa in Flemington
Given the increasing back log, and my impending ‘gourmet’ trip to Japan (which is what I have been spending a lot of my precious time doing lately), my blog from hereon will take on a slightly different approach – write first and revise later.

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.

19 Keilor Road Essendon After such a delightful experience last time, aside not being able to try everything, I have been eager to go again for quite some time!!! (see: previous post). So, on my way back from Bendigo (well it was sort of on the way, maybe a slight detour), I had to indulge my … Continue reading
Parisian Patisserie
19 Keilor Road Essendon Was invited to indulge my senses here by my cousin Thanh: ieatthereforeiam.blogspot.com.   Croissants d’amande (almond) – slightly crispy shell with a divine light texture (a little different from your average flaky croissant, err-ing slightly on cake-like; just enough to keep the almonds from sagging like a biscuit), subtle aromas of … Continue reading
