I had a short stint at Lau’s kitchen when I just got out of uni and needed extra cash and saving up for a house. II Fornio is just located next to Lau’s but I’ve never had any interest in trying it out. And of course it didn’t help that I worked in the evenings and it’s closed by the time I got in. But even with the lunch shift that I had, it didn’t seem appealing at that time. Or maybe I was just a poor graduate that was trying to save up money for a house so anything that looks fanciful would have been to expensive for me
Move forward to 2010, hangover and dehydrated from a night’s out of fun, Billy, Mister and I made the effort to finally pay this a visit. Our visit was definitely motivated by the fact that this place has been recently acquired by St. Ali and Philippa Sibley is rocking their ovens.
Collingwood must be very pleased to have the inclusion of Proud Mary to the growing list good cafes and restaurants. It seems to be an explosion of new coffee places opening every week. Cafes with roasters, cafes with expensive Synesso coffee machines, once a day cupping sessions and the list goes on. Coffee drinking has always been popular but now it is trendy. But how much do we know about it? Is it a novelty and I guess only the strongest will survive.
Coffee to me is something that I need when half a eye is opened to a new day. It never really meant anything more than a stimulant. But after I started this food blog and being exposed to new things and friends, I am beginning to appreciate the humble coffee bean. I am still no expert and there is so much to read, learn and drink!
I like the fitout at Market Lane. It has a very spacious set up and one could smell the aromatic coffee beans in the air. This place only serves a small selection of pastries, cakes and bread and home-made jam. So do not expect any other foods and not for anyone that has a big appetite and looking for a decent meal. It is all about the coffee here.

I wrote this post while we were flying across the dessert towards Darwin to make our transit to Bali. No entertainment on Jetstar was not a nice feeling. I could either sleep in a very awkward sitting position or read the same National geographic magazine from back to front and back for the next 5 hours. So this is just one of the entertainment I found for myself while I hear Mister snoring away next to me. 
Cup day was a mad rush for both myself and Mister. We had so much to do before we left for Bali. After only 4 hours of sleep, I was a little grumpy. We had to pack the house and getting it ready for our kitchen and bathroom renovation, iron all the clothes that have been left neglected and also pack for our Bali trip. We did not get too much groceries over the weekend and so the fridge was quite empty.
