Unexpected Delight: Review of Cafe 117, Richmond.

It’s funny what can happen when you set out to do something. Confronted with an obstacle, what do you do? Turn around and go home, or make lemonade out of lemons? I encountered such a dilemma this morning. Having planned a delicious Sunday breakfast at Demitri’s Feast, my boyfriend, his best friend and I set…

Some Like it Hot: Review of Cafe Sarawan, Clayton.

UPDATE 28.08.2010: Cafe Sarawan has changed ownership and is now Anshumann Da Dhaba. Initially, I was sad about the loss of Sarawan – until we tried the new place today and I was blown away and delighted about the arrival of Anshumann Da Dhaba. Look forward to a raving post in the very near future! I’m…

Working on work

I had an interview yesterday for a position as a recruitment consultant. I went to a few careers fairs about two weeks ago, and decided that I needed to get my butt moving. I can’t go travelling when I have very few dollars left after spending on my car and my extravagant lifestyle. So, I…

New York/Empire state of mind

I am so, so excited about our forthcoming trip to NYC. By ‘our’ I mean my boyfriend’s and mine, and am unfortunately not referring to you, dear reader. Which would be a bit strange anyway. We leave this Sunday, at 1pm, and I still haven’t packed. Heck, I never pack earlier than two days before…

Bookworm?

Today at work, I realised how few books I have read recently. Which is unfortunate, as I work in a bookshop. To be fair, the overwhelming volume of books means that even the keenest of readers will have those elusive few tomes that continually elude them. The amount of stock we have in the shop…

Delicioso days

Last night my boyfriend, two of his friends and myself enjoyed a delicious pizza in Carlton.  Pizza a Metro, 0n Grattan St, honestly has the best pizza in Melbourne. Ever. I think I have previously posted about this, but if I haven’t, their quattro frommaggi is to die for. The only problem with the four cheeses…
