I was going through the photos the other day and realised that I have taken many food and coffee shots of St. Ali but never blogged since the one I did in August last year – name of post. It deserves a part 2 and even 3. I tend to visit it when I have a long morning at work or when I just feel like chilling out by myself and away from work. It isn’t exactly the quietest cafe in South Melbourne. It is always buzzing with people, the slayer hard at work, beans roasting in the far end and sipping of coffee and kling klang of cutlery.

What a feast! My need-to-lose-weight-diet was definitely thrown out of the window that evening. I could not help myself. The spread was fantastic and to top it all, great company. So many thanks to Nuffnang and Collins Kitchen for organising this foodbloggers event. More I say! This week I shall bring you another local that we just stumbled upon. There seems to be new cafes and restaurants that have been springing up in our local in the last couple of years. It may not become the next Brunswick or Smith Street but I have to admit that I never thought I find nice places in my local to eat! But my mind is slowly changing. Khao San Road may sound familiar to some of you that has travelled and visited Bangkok. It is a famous street in Bangkok that attracts backpackers and budget tourists. I would say that is quite a bohemian type area that also attracts local artists and party people. Having said that this restaurant is not emulating this famous street. Dark wood chairs and tables occupy the space. The usual Buddha artwork hangs on the walls and some of the decorative table lamps have priced tags on them. I first visited Charcoal Lane in September last year. This white building used to be home of Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS). I have shady memories of walking past a prominent black, yellow and red coloured building almost everyday to and from Uni. And now it has become this white and somewhat majestic building. From the outside, one would never think that this is a restaurant. It will be good if there are big glass windows or glass doors to peer into this elegant looking restaurant.  |
