Within all the high rise apartments and office buildings in the CBD, especially down in the business district of town, it’s quite hard to find hidden cafes in warehouse establishments. An old run down building is torn down every second day to make way for new high rises that overshadow the rest of the city. […]…
Living on the Eastern side of town means venturing to the West is quite a rare occasion. Every time I suggest it, Yuye gives me a look of disapproval followed by a grunt and then the comment ‘but there’s so many restaurants that are closer’. My dilemma is of course all the brunch spots that […]…
As the weather is getting warmer, ice cream has been high on my crave list. My freezer is now full to the brim with different flavours – I should really limit myself on how much I’m allowed to eat…. I’m sure that’s the case with everyone at the moment since every time I pass Gelato […]…
High tea is one of those things that you rarely do (at least for me) but when it does happen, it’s always a memorable one. I always feel like a little kid all dressed up and waiting for her treat. It’s like opening a treasure chest full of colourful and tasty goodies. Trying each and […]…
Two places on the one post eh? Although I don’t usually post more than one restaurant on any one post (unless if it’s a travel post), these two joints really go hand in hand. It’s like a marriage made in heaven or more like they’re really located in the same place. But seriously, they really […]…
I’ve always wanted to travel to Europe, especially France, where I can visit local patisseries and sip on a coffee while I enjoy a nice afternoon at a quaint cafe. With the business it’s just hard to take any time off. I guess the closest to being there will be sipping a coffee and eating […]…
I was very excited when Yuye and I finally bought our house but little did I consider just how much work (and money) was involved in furnishing the new place. It was especially so when there were clashing views on what we should get. So one day I decided to go out and shop on […]…
Dead Man Espresso proudly takes its name from the story of the early settlers in the area. At the time South Melbourne was called ‘Canvas Town’ which stank of the dead and wreaked of despair, a stark contrast to what is it today. The early gold diggers forged a town out of nothing and now […]…
Two Birds One Stone is situated off busy Toorak Road in South Yarra. It’s the sister cafe of Top Paddock which I adore and although I see many similarities like certain decor features, the feel of the two cafes were actually quite different. Two Birds One Stone is not all that big, but of course […]…
We all know that there are now too many cafes opening up every week in Melbourne than we have time to try them all. So which one do you pick when you want that perfectly poached egg or perfectly brewed coffee? The answer is – ask the experts. I had the privilege of meeting the […]…
