rate the fishmongers and for convential veggies is good. the organics are way overpriced cos there is no competition

[Charlie73]

yeah we don;t do organics, so find the price the best in melbourne, far far cheaper than Vic Markets....

Althought Brunswick Markets has cheaper better qual vegetables.... cost us about $25 to get a weeks worth...

I have still not been there. Will remember the tip on the pig. God I love pork belly, suckling pig and pig goodness in general (no guts, feet or ears tho!)

went to that golden house chinese steam boat joint last night on power st

was a lot of fun adding foodz to big pot of spicy broth- dumplings, vegies, glass noodles, spring onion pancake and massive black fungus flowers that were a bit wrong tbh

could also have prawns, finely shaved beef, pork etc, whatevs you want really and how ever much you want- they just keep bringing it- 15 bucks a head

the table of 3 dudes next to us smashed 4 plates of the beef and it was like a dinnner plate with a 10cm stack of beef on it! then they puts the guts in too. and they eated it!

[Charlie73]

^^^^ OMG Lady that place looks the biz... trying to convince the boy we need eat there tonigth before we go home

[Direkt]

We have our own steamboat.

They're pretty cheap and good fun when you have company around.

[Blaxter]

Foil Steamboats = chasing the dragon FTW

[Direkt]

Mexicali Rose tomorrow night- finally...

Oh yes.

[Charlie73]

^^ Let me know what it like.... i work near there and if good will go there with les boy

[breaksRbest]

there'll be a group of us there too Direkt

[Direkt]

Yah, I heard BRB. We're all on 7pm booking - see ya there mate.

Charlie, full report Monday yo!

[Direkt]

The verdict (Mexicali Rose):

Good value for money, friendly service - nice place... BUT... if that's Melbourne's BEST Mexican, then perhaps Mexican ain't all I thought it was cracked up to be...

Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the food... but there was nothing to write home about either (except for the Churros, which fucking ruled!).

Enchilada's were the low point.

Margeritas: better at Taco Bill's.

And we all found it interesting that there was NO hot food (spicy) whatsover (well, not on the banquet we ordered) - not even mildly hot.

All in all, it was a good night - and yeah, I'd go back - but I/we didn't rate it as highly as others have.

[Charlie73]

sounds to me like Coyote Cafe is still the best mexican in Melbourne then!

[Blaxter]

Tabets Baker - Sydnery Rd
Delicious Oregano Pizza with Salad - $2:50.

[Charlie73]

worded up

[stovequeen]

Hey Nat

Went there a while back. Found the service to be average. It's like they were complete stoners. Taking the library feeling too far me thinks.

Perhaps things have changed now.

[gnat]

oh

hopefully they've lifted their game

i heard good things

[Polecat]

The coffee is excellent at Journal and I think it is a good space, but I've only been there for the after work cofee, not at lunch.

[gnat]

we finally have had a proppa barista installed downstairs at the crap cafe

coffee is awesome

3-4 lattes a day now i don't have to walk across the road to get a good one

possibly not a good thing, for my health or my hip pocket

[huge]

that's crazy. we have a full espresso machine at work and i still only have 1 a day hah

[deviant]

MAD cafe.

Enni on High st Thornbury/Preston.

good coffee and amazing cakes :homerdrool:

[Blaxter]

La Camera sucked the fat one again. I hate corporate lunches. Just buy me a deck of ciggies and fresh Bic lighter. $10 lunch menu with free glass of house wine. Lame gesture of appreciation. And why the fuck would you bother to have a Vegan salad option but nothing else dairy/ meat free for mains. Oh and how ridiculous to have 2 balconys that you can't sit and smoke at while you peruse the menu and ponder the ramifications of not ordering food or just leaving the soggy of walnuts and orange wedges underneath the serviette and hitting the booze.
