Mexican and Korean cuisine are hot trends in Melbourne at the moment. What could go wrong by doing both? Well, a lot actually. Fusion food isn't exactly perfect all the time, especially when the cuisines seem so different.

Nostalgia soon gave birth to a passion to bring an authentic street-side chai experience to Melbourne. To help recreate the atmosphere of the chai stalls in India, the pair have even imported a cart all the way from India. They source their tea leaves from Assam and combine it with their spice mix, following their mothers' recipe to create a wonderful cup of natural, wholesome chai,...
