Renovation is almost done. It is just the bathroom rails and replacing the window in the dining area. We have moved back and is living quite shabbily but at least all 3 of us are home. Nothing beats home! Home Sweet Home.
This little bohemian style cafe is tucked away on Napier Street. They serve organic rainforest alliance coffee and support local produce. This explains why the prices here are a little pricey for the food that they serve. I have to say the coffee here is pretty good. Perfect temperature and a lovely deep aroma and flavour. I will be glad to come back just to have a nice latte, sit in one of the little tables and read the papers. It is such a ‘lazy’ place to hang out.

Living across the river has its perks and one of which is that there are heaps of lovely cafes around. When I tweeted that I needed suggestions of good places around the South Yarra station, a few tweeps suggested the obvious – Outpost. The Outpost was one of the extended arms of St. Ali so we expected not good but great coffee. We love the open space, the coffee machine, the kitchen stations and the menu written on big butcher paper and stuck on walls. No partitions or barriers. Auction rooms has been around since last year but a little embarassed to say that this is our first visit. This place used to be an auction room and hence its name but now it is a cafe and a coffee roastery that is open 7 days a week. We made an early start and went window shopping for bathroom and kitchen ideas at Ikea first. There was so much to do but we still need to eat a proper big breakfast. We were heading to Victoria market next and I remembered @mutemonkey speaking highly of the coffee at Auction rooms. We made our way to Errol street. This area is lined with cafes and little restaurants. I took note of a Malaysian restaurant called Baba house. It has been added to my list of places to eat before 2010 I have not been feeling too well lately. As much as I love Spring, I hate it as well. It brings pollens of all sorts. My head weighs a ton and I feel like a bloated goldfish. Despite the pain and blurry vision, a sick girl needs to eat. The last time I used my cute little cast iron pan was to create Baked eggs with black pudding. I had leftover double smoked bacon, Parmesan cheese and asparagus from the weekend. Plus, plenty of eggs. So in my fluffy state of mind, I decided to make a frittata.  |
