Taste Like Chicken
Posted on 22. May, 2010 by Nina in Dinner, Restaurant
I’ve always avoided rabbit as a food. Why; I’m not quite sure. I mean, I don’t think those fluffy white creatures are too cute to be eaten or anything. I just didn’t really think food when I saw a bunny. That is, until now…

We’ve been to Red Hill many a time but we always went to the same place.. T’Gallant.. Red Hill Estate… same old, same old! On this occasion we traveled there for Reniar’s birthday! Tim decided it was time to try some new places. The second stop on our journey (which coincided with lunch time I [...]
Spice, Crisp and Friend
Posted on 21. Jan, 2010 by Reinar in Dinner, Lunch, Restaurant
I suppose you could consider this a follow-up to Tim’s post. I could not let him hog the joy of presenting to you a review of what is was our current favourite dish: the Crispy Chicken Ribs from Rose Garden (aka Rosey-G). I introduced him to it after all.
Rosey G

Rosey G and I go way back. Well, its directly opposite where I used to work, so it was easy to form a bond. The place is really called Rose Garden and for some people, it is known as ‘that place on Elizabeth St. with the gross ducks hanging in the window’. My lesson for [...]
Lunch with the Wildfish
Posted on 22. Nov, 2009 by Jaye in Lunch, Restaurant
It was the end of our holiday and Tim was in the mood for a some seafood delights. From our tent I jumped on the “around me” app on my iPhone, to see what we could find. A place called Wildfish popped up and although there was little more details that an address. After some [...]
A Friday Feast
Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by Pam in Dinner, Restaurant
After a busy and stressful week, I wanted a Friday evening that really felt like a Friday evening. One that was celebratory and overindulgent. And that’s exactly what I got over dinner and drinks and dessert with Reinar, Mik and Tae at Ca de Vin by the GPO. Reinar was not only hungry, he was [...]
I do Asian way.
Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by Reinar in Breakfast, Lunch, Restaurant
While my dear friends Tim and Jaye were doing it Aussie style {with yeast-extract sandwiches}, I was being true to my heritage and lunching the only way we Asians know how—big. And while they were roughing it at some far-flung Australian terrain I was making my way through deepest-darkest-Singapore, over the causeway and onto the [...]
Espresso and Machismo
Posted on 09. Oct, 2009 by Reinar in Dinner, Lunch, Restaurant
I was not born in Melbourne. I’ve been here for 15 years or so and, for a while now, have been assembling a mental list of things that are particularly Melbourne. Things like: Wet and shimmering pavement in the city—the kind you get in a late-afternoon drizzle. Walking in the rain is something you just [...]
My First Time Was Great.
Posted on 08. Oct, 2009 by Pam in Dinner, Restaurant
I have a friend who probably takes almost all his meals and coffees (or wishes he could) at Solarino’s, a cozy cafe on Howey Place off Little Collins Street in Melbourne. A few friends have also made Solarino’s one of their more regular haunts — a place to go for good coffee, dessert, a light [...]
Tram, backwards.
Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by Reinar in Breakfast, Restaurant
I speak of course of Mart 130, the adorable café along Canterbury Rd. in Middle Park. I went there about a week ago with some friends (quite a few of whom were visiting from overseas). All around great food, but there is one dish that has stayed with me: the oven-baked corn fritters with bacon, [...]
