I love Cafe Choo Choo. There is no other way to say it. Perhaps it is because I have some sort of history with it – its previous incarnation, Cafe Roco, was where I had my first job. Or maybe it’s the lovely people. And of course, it definitely has something to do with the…
And it’s haaard. It has been so miserable in Melbourne recently, cold, rainy and blustery. Perfect chocolate-munching weather. But no! After a few ridiculous blowouts involving donuts, cake and many, many cookies, I have tested myself to see if I can go for 10 days without my favourite sweet treats. Just to get back on…
Like reading? Love to eat? Welcome to heaven. If you are like me and love to devour literature and media, preferably while eating, you are most likely acquainted with BookTalk Cafe in Richmond. Or if you weren’t before, you will be now. I loved this place from the moment I saw it, and I get…
Oh. My. God. Let’s just get it all out there: Fabulous Fine Foods in McKinnon is incredible. It certainly lives up to its name! Located on the blooming strip of McKinnon Road, Fabulous is the perfect ‘occasion’ restaurant. They have gathered a local clientele and are always busy, and for a very good reason. Last week my…
As a committed foodie, it is taking all of my self-restraint not to devour a melting moment right now. A packet of 6 was bought the other night, five were consumed (one by me… yum) and there is now one left. Sitting there, taunting me. Ahhhhh sweet biscuit, why do you tease me so? Around the…
I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by an abundance of delicious cafes. And I am also very lucky to be the sort of person who loves going to cafes (hard to find in Melbourne!). Although Limonatta is not our local, this murky Sunday morning we were looking for a delicious brunch, and we decided…
I have had a couple of enjoyable dinners here recently which I feel compelled to share with you. A little bit of background: Thai Saffron, in Church St, Brighton, is quite a hit with local Brightonites and is generally very busy. The first time I ever dined here was about 4 years ago for a…
As I write to you, I am picking at a secret Easter egg from the Secret Stash above the oven . Despite my (best?) efforts at eating healthily post-Easter (see below), this year I have found it incredibly hard to break free from the chocolate binge. It’s just SO good. Some people are chocolate people,…
This is a place I have been meaning to review for a while. Living nearby the Bentleigh area, I had often walked past this small cafe but had never been inside. I had noticed it, but never bothered to venture in. This changed last year, when my curiosity got the better of me, and I…
This Easter was particularly hard. Not because I experienced a shortage of chocolate or, heaven forbid, loved ones. No no no, exactly the oppsoite. We had relatives over, as I have previously mentioned on here, and so there was chocolate everywhere. Being Scottish, they love their ‘sweeties’, and my mum being my mum, she overdid…
