Kappaya is all about simple organic Japanese soul food. It is quietly tucked away in the convent and just next to Lentils as Anything. The menu is small and simple. The shoebox interior is narrow and dimly lighted. It will probably fit 12 people snugly. The outside will be a much nicer place to be in summer.
5 double passes of any day tickets to Taste of Melbourne 2010 to giveaway.
Taste of Melbourne (26th – 29th of August 2010) is definitely one of the food events of the year. It’s held at the beautiful and elegant Royal Exhibition Building. This event showcases some of Melbourne’s best restaurants, producers and great quality food mainly around Victoria. Some of the new things that are happening for Taste this year are Yarra Valley Farmers Market and Bacardi’s presenting “Sensology Art of Cocktail Making”.
I could not refuse an invite where food and cocktail will be provided by Der Raum, St. Ali & Philippa Sibley. This event was held in the lane where St. Ali East calls home. Guests weregreeted by fire twirlers outside the warehouse. The walls of the front entrance were made up with Vitasoy boxes and a graffiti artist was intensively focused on getting his art onto the piece of Vitasoy wall.
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.
