The meal at Cumulus inc. was easily one of my enjoyable meal in recent times, I left there a very satisfied man. Let me take you through it. I went there for late lunch (2+ in the afternoon), place was packed, tables were all taken, only seats[...]

Shira nui- lunch special

53 1
I am a big fan of Shira Nui, have always opted for Omakase, every time I do go there. I heard that they serve a pretty damn good lunch too, so I checked it out. Drum-rolls... Fresh Sashimi of tuna, salmon and kingfish on a bed of rice. The dish is[...]

Dead Man Espresso!

53 1
Dead man Espresso rocks, serves up one the best coffee in this side of town (I am sure the boys at St.Ali , might beg to differ) and along with that, a highly innovative brunch/lunch menu. I had the their take on a Panzanella Salad, salad of stale[...]

Ocha 2 Go

53 1
Its such a shame that a Japanese restaurant of Ocha 2 Go's quality is not available in every suburb in Melbourne. The food I had, was nothing less gratifying, worth every second driving down the often clogged Burwood Road. A selection of Sushi and[...]

Tram stop number 130 on the 96 route is my favourite, tram stop. Mart 130 (Tram spelled backwards), have all the components of a kick-ass cafe, great buzz, friendly service, good coffee, and of course great food. I have been there heaps of times,[...]

Salsa's

53 1
Salsa's is a guilty pleasure of mine. This Mexican fast food place really hits the notes for me, and is a must go when I visit Chadstone. The food here is probably not REAL mexican food per say, but really tasty none the less. I'll give you a[...]

Zen Japanese Restaurant

53 1
Zen Japanese restaurant on the surface, look like any other regular Japanese restaurant in suburban Melbourne, but delve deeper and you will find a restaurant with grace and well executed food. Lunch boxes are a steal, at $9-9.50, its one of the[...]

Momotaro Ramen

53 1
I heard of lots of good things about this ramen house on Bridge road, some even consider it to be the BEST in Melbourne. With such a bold claim, I was the on the next available first train to Richmond. I will have to admit that a lazy and hot[...]
