I've been interested in this restaurant for a while and after hearing about their $9 lunch it was time to finally make a trip. It's actually very close to Johnston St so it's a very minor detour between home and uni. The downstairs pintxos (pronounced pinchos) and bar area is Naked for Satan, whilst the upstairs bar and restaurant is called Naked in the Sky. At first I thought the $9 lunch was a single daily special, but it turns out the whole lunch menu for Naked in...

I've finally gotten around to visiting Three Bags Full, despite the fact that I've been living only a 5 minute drive away for more than 10 years. K and I arrived at 10am, which turned out to be better than the original time of 11am. By the time we left at 11:30 there was quite a queue.

In hindsight, I shouldn't have gone for breakfast on the same day I booked myself in for this Scoopon lunch, especially when (much to my dismay) my metabolism is starting to slow down. I know I've been eating out a lot these last few weeks, but I want to take advantage of the quiet part of the semester.

There was a decent amount...

This morning I had one lecture before a 5 hour break, so I decided to drive in for the morning lecture. Since I had the car I thought it'd be a good opportunity to try Twenty & Six Espresso, which is a bit out of the way to walk or get there via public transport. Today I had The Russian: "Vodka & lemon house cured salmon tartare, free range poached egg, dill & lemon creme fraiche, seed & sprout sourdough" ($17.90).

Instead of going for lunch today I decided to go for a heavy breakfast at Madame Sousou. I had already decided which item I wanted, which was the Funghi A La Parisienne (toasted brioche w. buttered mushrooms, smashed avocado and goat cheese rondelle) with poached egg ($19.80 + $1.10).
