Hardware Societe, Melbourne CBD

by jeroxie September 5, 2010

I miss working in the Melbourne CBD! I am missing out on all these lovely food. I know that many bloggers have been and written about it but I had to do it. It is too good not to diary it. Hardware Societe is a little jewel in the CBD that shines brightly in the midst of other gems. I absolutely love the French style decor and taken a few happy snaps of it.

Cookbook Challenge (Insects) – Moreton Bay Bugs with white bean puree

by jeroxie May 26, 2010

I have been so behind with all the cookbook challenges. When I looked at this week’s theme – Insects, I was completed stumped. Where will I get insects? I don’t really like seeing them, let alone handling them. And how about eating them? I have eaten chocolate covered grasshoppers in Bangkok and deep fried crunchy [...]

Panette, South Melbourne

by jeroxie May 16, 2010

I walk past Panette many times during South Melbourne market weekdays. It always seem packed with breakfast and lunch crowd. So I took the opportunity to visit this place when Mr. S said to catch up for lunch.

I ordered the meatball linguine. It was a mixture of slow cooked veal and pork meatballs with linguine in tomato sugo and topped with thin slices of Parmesan cheese. The meatballs were very juicy and flavourful. It was a very decent plate of pasta. I will give it a benefit of a doubt that the pasta is freshly made or else it means that it is very over cooked!By the way, I like how the sugo coats the pasta. Great consistency.

Melbourne CBD quick yummy lunch – N Lee & Cinnamon’s

by jeroxie May 7, 2010

The thing that I miss about working in Melbourne CBD is the variety and quality of good lunch food. Now that I am in South Melbourne, I hardly venture around the area. It is like what @jettingjoyce said, a black hole of good food and I totally agree. Don’t get me wrong. There are nice places for food in South Melbourne but few are affordable to lunch everyday.

After the trip from Hobart and not much food in the refrigerator, it was an excuse to travel to the CBD for some good and affordable lunch. First stop was N Lee Bakery. This is one of the only places in the city that serves Banh Mi or Vietnamese roll. It is definitely a meal in a bun. Carbohydrates, protein and fresh salad! Banh Mi starts with a short Vietnamese style baguette or roll. It has a thin layer of butter and pate. And then followed by the cold meats. You can choose to have cold cuts pork (original) or chicken breasts slices. It is then topped with shredded carrots, thinly sliced onions, fresh coriander, freshly sliced red chillies (optional) and then drizzled lightly with light soy sauce. $5 for a roll in the city is very affordable. But you will be able to get it at $3.80 in the suburbs.

Wabi Sabi and a chocolate croissant

by jeroxie December 4, 2009

We are beginning to love Collingwood all over again. Having lived here for 4 years before, this place has changed but hasn’t? It is still gritty and somewhat ugly but it has always been full of character. But over the years, more cafes and littl restaurants have sprung up along this street. More yuppies have moved in and the face of Collingwood is changing.

Mister suggested that we headed to Collingwood for lunch as he wanted to try Goshen (Korean) and have some bibimbap. But alas, the place is closed for lunch. We went past Wabi Sabi when we visited Monsieur Truffe awhile back. This place has been around for 5 years and I am ashame to say that this is our first visit.

Dead Man Espresso

by jeroxie October 12, 2009

Dead Man Espresso has been opened a little over 3 weeks. When I visited it the first time, I believe they were still installing the dish washer at the back. When the weather gets warmer, tables were be placed along the sidewalk and I believe that the rooftop will be opened to the public.

What does bacon & maple syrup have in common?

by jeroxie September 21, 2009

It is a love & hate relationship with Sundays. I love it because it is usually a day of cooking and eating and cooking and eating. And I hate it because it includes house cleaning and back to work the next day My small kitchen is the favourite place in the house. I love it. I can stand all day, cook, wash up and go on to the next thing.

Bento boxes at Takumi

by jeroxie August 9, 2009

Met up with a couple of ex-collegues for lunch at Takumi (32 Bourk Street, Melbourne). This place is well known for its variety of wagyu selections and hot plates. But for lunch, it serves mainly bento boxes. However, there is also a choice of Wagyu burger or a Wagyu Yakiniku lunch set for 2.

An old time favourite – Misuzu

by jeroxie August 3, 2009

Misuzu’s Japanese Restaurant (3-7 Victoria Ave, Port Melbourne) was damaged in a fire when I was working in Port Melbourne almost 2 years ago. It was a shock to the local community.

Tra Vinh at Footscray

by jeroxie July 22, 2009

Some people do turn their noses up when I mention that I shop and eat at Footscray. And why not? In summer, the mangoes sold here are sweeter and more aromatic. There are many little gems to be discovered in this area. Shops set up by North Africans, Filipinos, Indians and the list goes on and on. And one of the best donuts can be found near the train station!

Goldleaf – Another yum cha story

by jeroxie July 21, 2009

Mum is cantonese and having yumcha or dianxin is a norm. Yumcha literally means ‘drink tea’ and dianxin means ‘little bits of heart’. I usually have bo lei ( a strong black tea) as it is known to aid digestion! Yumcha places are usually buzzing with people and trolleys. It is not so at Goldleaf (infront of the Observation Wheel, Docklands) for obvious reasons. The Wheel is currently non-operational due to structural defects and in the midst of major recovery. Reason number 2 will be explained further in this post.
