I had a church event starting at 9am, so it was the perfect opportunity to come for the weekend menu at Hardware Societe. The last time I came the waitress suggested coming at 8:30am because it would get very busy. I got to the cafe just after 8:30am and it was already packed! Fortunately, being alone, I got a seat straight away at the communal table. The savoury special of the day sounded quite interesting but I came here with the intention of having the croque madame. I died...

A group of us decided to celebrate the end of block 3 with dinner. Originally we were going to go to Chin Chin, but for various reasons changed the location to Red Spice Road (the MacKillop St branch).We were fortunate to score a table in the private room, which was much quieter than in the main area. I assumed the menu was the same as what was on the website so I didn't take a photo. As a result, some of the descriptions for these dishes are rather...

Located in Equitable Pl, which is between Collins and Lt Collins and near Elizabeth St, this small cafe specialises in fugazza. Quoting from their website, "Fugazza recreates traditional Italian baked sandwiches. Our light, tasty focaccia start with artisan sourdough bread, created using a combination of wholemeal, rye and unbleached flour. True to their origins, our sandwiches are baked, not pressed, creating a beautifully light, crisp crust." I got the $10 offer which included a half fugazza (normally $6) plus a soup (normally $6.90 for a regular size). They have 2 soups,...

The first time I heard of N2 Extreme Gelato was when I walked past the Sydney store back in August last year. Whilst I don't usually eat ice cream, I do find gelato more appealing and it also looked like an interesting concept. Mum and I thought we'd go back to visit after dinner, but unfortunately we completely forgot about it even through we took the same route back to the hotel. Since then I discovered that it was actually quite famous and highly rated, so I was kicking...

During lunchtime, Darac's most popular menu item by far is their lunch special, which consists of rice/fried noodles, a main e.g. bulgogi, teriyaki and a side. The medium size is $10.50, whilst the large size is $12.50. Instead, I went for the bibimbap ($13). There was also a prawn bibimbap but I thought I'd go for the more conventional beef today. On the menu there was a choice of either spicy or mild. I picked spicy and couldn't tell the difference between it and normal bibimbap. Maybe they...
