Only yesterday afternoon did I realise we actually had two Schnitz vouchers to use before the end of the month. This time I went for the Si Senor (minus Ranch sauce) on turkish bread roll. Dad had the Hey Habib roll. The Si Senor was definitely more tasty than the grilled vegetable one from Monday. The bread was OK, but the wrap is much better and also easier to eat - there were quite a number of chicken pieces in my roll so it kept falling apart. I've previously had...

Today will probably be the last of the restaurant vouchers we're using out of the 2011-2012 Entertainment Book. I haven't been to Schnitz before, so it was a nice surprise to find out I could substitute the Schnitz for non-crumbed chicken fillets. Both A2 and I chose the same thing: a Vegged Out Wrap - Moroccan spiced non-crumbed chicken fillets with roasted vegetables, Spanish onion and tzatziki. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the wrap, which looked a lot more appetising than the photo I...

Another day, another voucher; this time for The Cultured Salad. There are two branches and I chose to go to the one situated in Australia on Collins. There was a nice selection of gourmet salads, wraps and foccacias, as well as the option to create a custom-made sandwich. I went for a smoked salmon sandwich on multigrain bread with carrot, cucumber and salad. While I watched my sandwich get put together I was concerned it would be too big to fit in my mouth, but the sandwich grill compressed the...

Next year's Entertainment Book doesn't have any Laurent Bakery vouchers, so A2 and I thought this should be the next one to be used. Both of us chose the turkey baguette, which had turkey breast slices, lettuce and an onion relish. It was nice and  fresh-tasting, if a little plain; it could have done with a sprinkle of salt.

After our hot pot dinner we decided to head out to Monga Sweet Cafe on Russell St for dessert. Monga Sweet Cafe is a sister store to Dessert Lounge in Box Hill, which was popular among a number of people in the group. The decor was very Asian-inspired, down to the red, plastic stools and Chinese calendar (the one with the date in giant figures and a lot of information that I can't understand). I can't say much about the desserts themselves, seeing as I didn't taste any of them....
