Food at a Carnival!!

For those who have not gone to the Royal Melbourne Show, I highly recommend that you rush to it before it ends!! It is currently located in Showgrounds and it is from the 22 September to the 2 October, so it is ending real soon guys! This Carnival has loads of attractions such as roller coasters, showbags, free animal petting and even fireworks at the end of the night! The online tickets costs $40 for adults but if you get it after 5pm it will be discounted to $20!

While I was there I grabbed myself a classic sundae from SOI for $7.00 and it was delicious with its chocolate sauce and Oreo toppings 😋

And just before the fireworks display I got a quick dinner, which is the lamb roll with gravy sauce from Redgum Roast for $10 and it was mouth watering! I gobbled that up so fast! Was really glad I chose that place out of sooo many stalls that they have in the carnival!

Have you guys been there yet? Would love to hear your experience on this awesome event!

Anytime of the day Pancakes!

Having a weird craving for pancakes at night? Then Pancake Parlour is the place for you! located in various places like Highpoint and Melbourne Central, this place serves a variety of pancakes that goes from savory to desserts so you can literally come at any point of the day for a meal or a snack 😍 In this picture I had the all time favorite short stacks for $12.90, which comes with butter (but you can have it with ice cream) and has a container full of maple syrup on the side for your use, so go crazy! I love it because the texture is just so fluffy and the maple syrup goes really well with the melted butter 😋 I paired this off with their Chocolate Royal drink for $8.50 and it is really sweet and pack with real chocolaty goodness, worth a try! Have you ever been to Pancake Parlour before? How was it for you and is there other menu items I should try?

Fried Oysters Anyone?

Throwback to the time when we went to the Winter Night Market in Queen Victoria Market! This is the Oyster Karage (fried) for $15.00 and it is the same place where I got the Lobster roll at George the Fish Monger. I had this twice and I really wished that I had more than that because it was soooo good!! The batter was really crispy and when you bite into it, you get the gooey oyster which was heavenly!! I forgot what was the sauce but it went really well with the karage and the ice cream cone was delicious enough to eat by its own! Do you guys know any good karage that I can eat? Because I really am craving for something as good as this!!

Gotta get all that RaMen (Get it?)

Went to the famous Bankara Ramen in Swanston St with friends and tried their Chuka Soba, which is less salty than their popular Bankara ramen, and both of them cost $13.80. This is a great dish for a cold day because it just warms your soul and it is rich in flavor, which will make you slurp down this dish fast and crave for more.

I also had their Takoyaki for $9.80 and it was amazing! They had the dried seaweed on top that moves like they were alive 😱 And the texture of the ball was a thin layer crispy texture on the outside while a warm, gooey cream on the inside with chewy pieces of octopus. yum! Be careful when you eat it because the inside is very hot 💥 so I suggest cutting them in half to cool. Would love to here any Japanese places you want me to try next!

Deconstructed Food?

Hey guys! Recently, I went to Small Grace, located in Footscray, with my friends for brunch and I ordered the Salmon & Rye for $19.00 while we shared the chocolate waffles for $17.00. It is a little bit on the pricey end and I got to say that I was confused on how to eat the meal 😅 The salmon and poached eggs were really good but I think the bread was a little too hard and sweet for me? And I had no idea whether to put the cream thingy and pickled vegetables on the bread too. So overall it was a unique experience for me, maybe you guys can help me know how to eat it so next time I am prepared 😆! The waffles was a bit better with the strawberries and grilled banana, but the star of that dish was the authentic vanilla ice cream 😋 I paired these off with their iced chocolate drink for $5.00 and I recommend this for those who like to drink the less sweet type of chocolate.

Do you guys know any deconstructed food places or any unique meal displays I can go to? let me know in the comments!!

The LOVE of my life 🍗🍗!

Okay guys, I have to confess.. I am OBSESSED with NeNe Chicken!! and my friends can attest to that because I eat there like on a weekly basis 😆 As the name suggest, their main food is fried chicken and it is what I go for~ I order the half & half 12 pieces of drumlettes and wings for $15.78, the half & half means i get to choose two sauces and my all time favorites are garlic and swicy (spicy and sweet but it really is just sweet 🤣). I recommend eating the 12 pieces if you are really hungry or would want to take away the leftovers, if not then I suggest eating the 6 pieces. in this particular photo I ate at Elizabeth St but there are other places too like Melbourne central, which is good for taking away cause it is very small, and Highpoint. And that is it for this review! ugghh really want NeNe Chicken now that I wrote this 😲 Would love to hear from you guys any other fried chicken place that can try to beat this!

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands..🍫

My usual go-to dessert place is Max Brenner as it barely 10 minutes away from where I live. I used to only have the Tutti-Frutti Waffle until I discovered their Banana Split Waffle Sundae and now it is the only thing I ever get when I go there! 😍 Their Tutti-Frutti Waffle cost $15 for a single and $20 for a double. The waffle(s) comes with fruits, melted chocolate and a big scoop of ice cream. The banana spilt waffle sundae comes with bananas ( obviously😝 ) , ice cream, melted chocolate, waffle pieces, chocolate nuts and a caramel sauce! It cost $15 and I find it worth it because I feel so full afterwards and even skip a meal before I have it just so I can finish the dessert if I am having it on my own.

Both desserts are great for sharing if you’re just looking to have a dessert after a big meal. The ambience of the place is great and I believe they are located in many places including CBD but my go to place for Max Brenner is Highpoint.

Have you guys tried Max Brenner? If you have, what did you try? Let me know down below!

Brunetti….again?😬

This is probably my 3rd post on Brunetti’s ( I have a sweet tooth, don’t judge😝) so I am going to make this post short and sweeeet ( see what I did there?😝). There’s so much to have and try at Brunetti’s that I can’t resist going back. This time I tried their gelato and my god, it was amazing!! I got two scoops for $6 which is a pretty fair price I feel. I tried the salted caramel and the matcha flavour. Both were really good but I loved the matcha one more and was a little bummed that the scoops were uneven (you can even see it in the picture). I got a cup full of salted caramel and just a small scoop of matcha on the top. The next time I go there I would probably get it in a cone instead of a cup and see if there is a difference.

Do you guys know any great places for gelato in Melbourne? If you do, please let me know!

Indian Food!

Chettinad Chicken Biryani with yogurt and curry

I just realised I have not done a single post on Indian food which is pretty funny to me as I love love love Indian Food!😍 A group of friends and I were just roaming around Melbourne CBD hunting for food ( like hungry little sharks😂) and came across an Indian restaurant called Anjappar. We decided to try it out and guess what? We fell in love! I tried their Chettinad Chicken Biryani which cost $12.90. I think it was pretty cheap considering how big the portion was. The dish also came with some curry and yogurt to help control the spicy level of the dish. The picture does not do justice but under that mountain of rice is lots of chicken pieces 😍

The restaurant was big and there was no wait time at all which was great. I even tried their rose milk which I thought I took a picture of….apparently not.😫 It came in a really small disposable cup and you could probably finish the drink in a few large sips. It tasted really good but with the price if $5, it was far from worth it.

Have you guys been to Anjappar? If you have, what did you have? Also to all my Indian foodies out there, let me know if there’s any good indian restaurants I should try out!

Gonna get all dem buns!

Hello guys! And once again I am back for another South Melbourne Market review but this time we are going Chinese. These buns are from Bambu and I went for the outside stall, which is for take outs while its eating there area is opposite from this stall, and both of them have quite a long line so you got to go there when the opportunity arrives. I had the pork bun for $5.50 and the custard buns which comes in 2, for $6.00 and they were different from the usual. What’s different about the pork bun is that they pour what I think is sweet soy sauce in the middle of the bun, which has a hole so it is mixed with the tender pork meat. And for the custard buns, they pour a lot of kaya sauce all over the buns so prepare some wet tissues before you eat this because it is going to get messy! But keep in mind that the custard inside the bun is not the gooey, spills out like fondue type but the chewy type. These are perfect for when you want a quick bite because there are different types of buns you can choose from 😋

That is all for this review! Thanks for reading, I would definitely love to hear your recommendation for any places with tasty buns or dim sums!
