After many months of planning, discussion and almost throwing in the towel, we will be having our first ever Australian food & drink bloggers’ conference – Eat Drink Blog. It is through perseverance and hard work of many food bloggers and of course, our sponsors, that this event is happening on the 21st of March, Sunday.
I am really glad to be part of this event and will be part of the panel for ‘SEO and how to be social’. Presenting in front of fellow bloggers and friends feels a little daunting but thanks to advice from @stickifingers and @essjayeff, I feel much more relax about it now. By the way, did I mention that Pim from Chezpim will be making an appearance as well?
For the month of March 2010 and in support of the official Melbourne Food and Wine Festival , Beer DeLuxe, at Federation Square, will showcase Japanese culture, beers and food as part of the Shinobi Japanese Secret Beer Garden. Just in case you are wondering, Shinobi means Ninja in Japanese. Also in support of L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival and promotion of young creative talent, this secret garden is especially designed by Tokyo-born and Melbourne-based graphic designer, Nami Kano and University of Melbourne Master’s of Architecture student, Olivia Fielding.
I was thrilled to receive an invite from Beer Deluxe to the garden and had a taste of some of the Japanese offerings that is served here for a short time only. I had been to Beer Deluxe a couple of times before after work when I used to work in the CBD. They have a big repertoire of beers from around the world and I believe about 8 – 10 different beers on tap. And I was totally surprised how the outdoor area facing Flinders Street has been transformed. It is such a pity that this set up will be taken down early April as it’s a great outdoor area for beer lovers.
Hello fellow friends,
In my earlier post about ‘The search of the best tonkotsu ramen in Melbourne’, it did conclude and mentioned that a few Melbourne food bloggers and myself have decided to embark on a one day ramen adventure. After many email exchanges, we have concluded on a rating system and its criteria.
1. Broth
2. Noodle
3. Toppings
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.
