Light, fresh and healthy might not be adjectives people typically string together in the same sentence as Indian cuisine. Mother and son team, Lalitha and Ashwin Rajan, aim to bring contemporary Indian food to the Melbourne food scene. The bright white, yellow and turquoise colour scheme helps reinforce this theme and makes it a comfortable place to spend breakfast or lunch.

Right on the corner of Gertrude and Fizroy St, Mighty Boy Eatery serves up Asian-inspired breakfast and lunches for us to enjoy. The roti wraps sounded interesting, but are only available at lunchtime (after 12pm).

Today we ordered a dinner-time food delivery from a local takeaway restaurant in Kew East via Menulog. Browsing the different cuisines on offer, Indian appealed to us the most on this occasion, so we chose Preeti Indian Takeaway. We ordered beef vindaloo, fish madras and some lemon rice to accompany our curries. The beef vindaloo was really good, with soft meat and a nice, tangy kick from the vinegar. The lemon rice was also done very well and the fish in the madras curry tasted quite fresh. We did...

This year marks the debut of the Night Noodle Markets in Melbourne, after many years of being run in Hyde Park in Sydney. Following the Night Noodle Markets in Sydney last month, Melbourne's version will run for two weeks, featuring around 30 food stalls. Whilst not quite as expansive as the one in Sydney, it was probably a good number for testing the waters. Knowing that the crowds would eventually make lining up only for the tenacious, we planned to arrive at 5pm. It had been quite a nice,...
