Dear reader, you surely already know how this review will turn out. From the title alone, I think it is clear that I am slightly biased on this one. And I am not ashamed one bit! For my 23rd birthday this year, my lovely boyfriend and lovely best friend spoiled me with a surprise High…
Like your food spicy? Even if you think you don’t, you will after visiting Chong Qing Hot Pot in Glen Waverley. Tucked away in the Village Walk between the Glen and Century City walk, Chong Qing is the sort of place that you may easily overlook. Indeed, I have walked past it so many times…
I have previously posted about Fabulous Fine Food in McKinnon, but tonight warrants another rave review. To celebrate both my mother’s and my brother’s September birthdays, we headed down for a family dinner. Once again, I was blown away. I unfortunately don’t have any photos to delight you with, but hopefully my descriptions will get…
Can you hear Usher’s song “O.M.G.” in the background? I swear that it was a tribute to the amazing Thai Yim in Glen Waverley. My boyfriend and his best friend discovered this gem a while ago, and we have never looked back. Yes, it is that good. And with the stiff competition for Asian cuisine…
Another day, another gratuitous chocolate post. Rifling through my pictures folder, I came across this lovely memory of my birthday this year. As a testament to how well my friends know me, I was given a sentimental scrapbook by my best friend (love this), a set of three different teas from T2 by another friend (also…
Does this make you hungry? It’s the Jamie Oliver chocolate tart, and it is a wall of pure chocolate, so it should. A few months ago my best friend kindly made this for my boyfriend to thank him for treating us to lunch when she wasn’t feeling well. I have lovely family and friends don’t…
Despite having a great fondness for dining out, it may come as a surprise to you that I do occasionally prepare my own meals. A morning last week was one such time (as are most mornings, lunches and dinners, but I’ll gladly pretend otherwise). Having overdone porridge in the past, and moving onto its similar…
A little while ago, my boyfriend and I needed somewhere to refresh after playing a highly competitive game of tennis. (Just joking – it was a little bit for fitness and a lot for laughs.) One spot I had been eyeing off for a while was the Ormond Providore, located on the busy and often heartless…
So very cold and foggy. This picture on the left was taken about a week ago before 8 one morning. I had been heading into the city every day for 9am, which meant leaving plenty of time for the unreliable Metro system to get me there. I know it’s winter, and I know winter is…
It used to be hard to find inner-city dining in the outer eastern suburbs. Too often the experience would be substandard, with the service indifferent and the food uninspired. Zest 89 has changed this, and created a niche in the overcrowded but often unsatisfying Glen Waverley cafe scene, delivering delicious food and impeccable service in…
