Hedonistic Habits: May 2012
http://hedonistichabits.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Monday, 14 May 2012. MFWF Express Lunches: Taxi and Grossi. During MFAWF I roped a few of my colleagues into express lunches ($35) at Taxi Dinging Room and Grossi Florentino. The MFAWF express lunches are a great way to try out some of Melbourne's best restaurants without breaking the bank. Grossi Florentino: the grill. We started out meal with good crusty bread with top notch olive oil and some herb blends for dipping. JP (maintaining his i...

Hedonistic Habits: February 2012
http://hedonistichabits.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Tuesday, 28 February 2012. Decadent dinner @ Daniel NYC. One of the few restaurants to combine three Michelin stars with four NYT stars. I was close to being swayed by twitter advice from Matt Preston about the awesomeness of Corton but decided that the long running success and the more sedately luxurious dining setting would be better. Our meal began with an amuse bouche of golden beet salad, borscht and smoked salmon to whet our appetites.

A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Sunday, 17 June 2012. Doña Tona @ Penny Blue. After a rough Monday in the office I went along with PHo and AC to try out the Doña Tona pop-up at Penny Blue. Doña Tona has been popping up at Penny blue for the last three weeks serving a rotating range of tacos, tamales and sopes. Pork sopa and crackling. Sierra Nevada pale ale - one of my favourite American beers. Hopefully someone can start importing Fat Tire. Crackling and pale ale.

A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Sunday, 9 September 2012. CBD Lunches: Kenzan @ GPO. It specialises in high-quality sushi rolls with interesting ingredients. All of the nori rolls are roll your own, which ensures that the nori is pleasantly crisp and much tastier than pre-rolled nori. The sushi rolls range from $3.50-$5. Soft shell crab inside out roll. Prawn and avocado inside out roll. Spicy tuna nori roll: pre-rolled state. Spicy tuna nori roll. View my complete profile.

Hedonistic Habits: November 2011
http://hedonistichabits.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Wednesday, 30 November 2011. Mexican: dos and don’ts. Paco’s Tacos (don’ts). When I heard that Paco’s Tacos had replaced the underperforming Movida Terraza (financially underperforming, the food was actually decent) I was really excited to have a more accessible lunch taco option than Mamasita (hopefully without a side of groan inducing hipster attitude). We began with the Chicharrones. Y and I shared the ‘pulled’ pork tacos with...The roast...

A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Monday, 26 September 2011. Kansas City here I come. On my recent trip to the USA I paid a visit to family in Kansas City. KC is not generally known for it’s culinary prowess, however, I did eat while I was there and it wasn’t all bad. On my first day in town, my grandma and aunts took me to brunch at Lidia’s Italy, which is the westernmost of Lidia Bastianich’s ‘Lidia’ branded restaurant group. Selection of bread with sweet butter. Jack Stac...

A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Monday, 31 October 2011. Chicago: All that. food 1. Before lunching at Blackbird KC and I wondered around admiring the red brick buildings. We wandered into Chicago’s French market to admire the baked goods and see what kind of produce was available. We began our meal with brilliant cocktails ($12). Blackberry Betty: a sophisticated short cocktail combining Plymouth Gin, crème de violette, basil, blackberry and lime. A main of roasted chicke...

A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Monday, 23 January 2012. CBD lunches: affordable luxury @ Waffle On. Workers in Melbourne’s CBD are spoiled for choice when it comes to lunchtime sustenance to fuel their afternoon of hard work (or endless meetings interspersed with internet time wasting). I want to share one of my favourite budget friendly but luxurious lunch spots. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. CBD lunches: affordable luxury @ Waffle On.

http://hedonistichabits.blogspot.com/2013/06/gorging-for-month.html
A Melbourne hedonist's adventures in dining, drinking and life. Tuesday, 11 June 2013. Gorging for a month. After a bit of a work induced blogging hiatus I thought it would be fun to reminisce about the month of eating that has led me to hitting the gym almost every day and subsisting on Lite'n Easy for a few weeks; desperate measures to avoid buying new jeans and to get ready for an upcoming northern hemisphere summer visit. Would set up shop in Melbourne. Pork ribs with a side of BBQ beans. After heari...

Sunday, June 21, 2015. Seared Venison with Braised Red Cabbage, Pancetta Crisps and Red Wine Jus. I can't help but feel compelled to begin each blog post these days with an apology for the lack of updates. Most nights I'd try to sit in front of the laptop to write up new post but often just end up giving in because of how tired I felt at the time. I'm quite the social media fanatic so would be great if you got connected with me on my Instagram (. And Facebook page (. This plate of food was definitely del...
