Revisit – Miss Jackson, St. Kilda

by jeroxie October 11, 2011

I took my mum on a round about car ride to the St. Kilda farmers market. With Mister away, I have been relying on the Tomtom to guide me to places. However with a destination that does not exactly have an actual address, it makes it really difficult. For me. I really regret the times that I am so busy tweeting while Mister and not looking at where he is driving, what roads he uses and all the stuff that drivers are aware of.

Thank you Melbourne

by jeroxie September 27, 2011

I arrived in Melbourne about 13 years ago. I believe it was either late January or February 1998. It took many months for me to beg my parents to consider sending me over to get a second chance in life. I remember having to create spreadsheets of costs of living expenses in each of the country and state that I wanted to study in. I also needed to include depth explanation to justify the reasons for the course, the university and why they should allow me to go. It was such a process but understandable as I was this super rebellious and bad daughter at that time. My parents finally agreed and in early 1998, I landed in Melbourne, Australia.

L’atelier de Monsieur Truffe, Brunswick

by jeroxie September 25, 2011

I had a rather bad weekend for me recently. It was the same weekend when I made chipotle chicken wings to distract myself from feeling pissed off. I had a stupid fight with @mamajeroxie and so instead of having breakfast together, I took my keys and headed out by myself to chill out. My temper has been quite short lately and take too many things too seriously. I was losing my sense of fun lately.

Nabiha Cafe, Moonee Ponds

by jeroxie September 22, 2011

How well do you know your local and its surrounding cafes or restaurants?

For me, it is a big fat failure. I only learnt about Nabiha Cafe on twitter as I was whinging about the awful coffee that I had at 20 Young Street Cafe. The coffee had a rancid taste and it was burnt! Life is too short for bad coffee. Anyway, @NatStockley mentioned that their coffee is indeed sub standard but serve pretty good sandwiches. I was in no mood for sandwiches after that sip of coffee. But he did offer a tip to check out Nabiha for their coffee.

Rumi, Brunswick East

by jeroxie September 1, 2011

Mister and I hardly stay apart from each other for long periods of time. He means the world to me and I know that he feels the same about me. It has been hard having him gone for long periods of time now. And especially when I do need him the most at the moment, it is even harder. It is good that @mamajeroxie is here with me at the moment. However, it means that I lack a lot of time alone to make decisions and think about my next steps.

Malaysia Kitchen Blogger Summit – Chef Lagenda and Laksa King

by jeroxie August 27, 2011

In week 1, I introduced you to Chillipadi Mamak Kopitiam. It was a blend of Chinese, Malay and Indian flavours all under one roof. In this final week, I will like to aquaint you two Malaysian Chinese restaurants in my hood – Chef Lagenda and Laksa King. I am pretty rap to have all three so close to home. It makes mid week dinner almost brainless.

Duchess of Spotswood, Spotswood

by jeroxie August 16, 2011

The Duchess of Spotswood. With a name like this, it is clear that this cafe is steered towards something a little more English. And with a name like this, you will think it will sit in a rather posh area and not a quiet and plain looking street like Hudsons. The name does not matter to me. It is the food that counts. This place has been receiving raving reviews from many food bloggers. The curiosity finally overcome my laziness and we decided that it might just be worth the effort.

Collingwood – Proud Mary

by jeroxie July 7, 2011

A twitter acquaintance, @wiredjazz, from Sydney was in town. We planned a breakfast/brunch Saturday and then a photo walk around Fitzroy and Collingwood area. It was a perfect plan. Wake up early, catch up at Proud Mary at 10am. Have great coffee, nice big breakfast and then take photos and talk crap the whole afternoon. As many plans, it did not go as plan. There were tiny and very acceptable hiccups.

Chin Chin Melbourne, Melbourne CBD

by jeroxie July 5, 2011

This is my second visit to Chin Chin. It is the Chin Chin on 125 Flinders Lane that everyone is talking about. It is the new IN place to be seen eating and sipping cocktails in Melbourne CBD. The brains behind Chin Chin is Chris Lucas and the man in the kitchen is Andrew Gimber which will be joined by Ben Cooper from St. Ali very soon.

Claypots Evening Star, South Melbourne

by jeroxie July 3, 2011

I am so tempted to trawl through my gazillion photos but just too much effort when I was writing this. Mister and I are long time fans of Seafood Claypot in St. Kilda. We even celebrated one of our anniversary at Claypots many moons ago when we were still poor uni students. It required loads of instant noodle to save up for that meal. At that time, it was a big deal for us!

Streetsmart – CafeSmart Project and Jeroxie turns 2

by jeroxie June 8, 2011

Most Melbournians woke up to 4°C super cold morning today. I was super rugged up. Thick woolie scarfs, big buffy jacket and woollen tights kept me fairly warm. And even then I was complaining about the cold winter day. I will stick my little finger sticks out in the cold air and she shrunk right back into the warm pockets of my jacket. And did I mention that I had the luxury of hiding most of the day in the very well heated office in South Melbourne.
