BFFs

been on a bit of a hiatus lately, cause things have been incredibly crazy.
moved into a new place in the city
(hooray no more early morning commute!)

i would have never guessed packing and moving to a new place, setting up internet, unpacking and getting comfortable, and all that PAPERWORK would be so exhausting.

totally worth it though, i m literally a two minute walk away from the dental hospital
room is like a little shoe box
but its quite cosy and starting to grow on me.
surprisingly peaceful too, and quiet.


have some photos from when Lee and Clare were here
an insane amount were taken!
i made little composites as mentioned previously, so here they are!


Money Order office. Coincidence, but grey scarves seem to be the way to go. We all had one! Booked the private dining area, behind the drinks bar. I had the salted duck breast, duck leg terrine, polenta, wilted baby bok choy portabello mushroom & harissa butter for my main. Now that the Brasserie has gone downhill (will be closing down in Feb ahhh!) this is my favourite duck dish. Lee and Clare had the cepe & porcini mushroom risotto, eggplant & vine ripened cherry tomatoes, swiss browns, broad bean & herb puree, heard it wasnt bad either. Ah MOO. I like!

Melbourne Supper Club. Spent hours and hours there just sitting around and chatting, ordered an insane amount of stuff. Even doubled up on their cheese platters as the first wasnt enough. The thing is with MSC, once you get a good seat, you wont want to leave for ages

Bistro Vue- my favourite oysters, Bri's love: the tarte tartin and a quail and foie gras pithivier. Creme brulee, chocolate souffle and i think we pretty much ordered everything on the dessert menu!

Hwaro for korean bbq. Lee's 'hansum oppa'. Yi goes there a crazy amount of times, but at least we get free stuff out of it! ;) lemon soju is tasty, just like a soft drink but sneakily lethal.

Henny's birthday dinner at Dundas and Faussett in Albert Park. Felt like a New Yorker, running out of the dental hospital in the rain to snatch a yellow taxi and carrying a million bags ( dont know why i had so much stuff that day, i meant to carry light, honest!)

Madame Brussels- astroturf, waiters in Fred perry and tennis whites. Fondue was pretty bad, as were some cocktails, but very pretty place and a view. They give out fluoro pink match sticks!

Hanging out at one of the little cafes along Degraves


We ve been into Titanic since young, so visited the museum exhibit. Loved it! Was slightly tragic that we pretty much knew the information given out and recognised a lot of the names, but i guess we were really into it! Also did a quick scan of the other exhibits, stuffed animals creep me out.

Went to the National Gallery of Victoria, closed on tuesdays, i had no idea! So pottered around the puzzle house for a bit before going for tea.

Had tea at my place. Lee and Bri, are the passionfruit cupcakes calling out to you??!




Day trip up to Mt Dandenong. Stuffed ourselves at Miss Marples, shopped at the tea shop, picked up some oilve oilve- (Kalaparee oilve oil is incredible, once you ve had some of the garlic infused you ll never look back i promise) and were frozen solid at the peak! GPS took us by the creepiest, darkest, most undeveloped way down the mountain possible, was worried i would drive off the side, but we made it ;)


lol


Driving around Rye, went up to Arthur's Seat, to the Gunnamatta horse trails (raining so plan failed!) and to the strawberry fields. Had dinner at Pacific House after, Yi ordered an eggy fried chicken which is off the menu so you have to ask for it, but it was GOOD.

Visited the Montalto Olive festival! LOVED it, we sat on bales of hay listening to the band play while sampling wines and oilve oils. Wanted to photograph the animals in the petting zoo but they were put away really early! At least io got the duck.

awww. BFFs.
