Raw Vegan Exhilaration with Lisa, Vegie Bar, and Kombucha: Melbourne Day Four

by Hannah on January 30, 2012

My first three days in Melbourne were wonderful, filled as they were with friends, food, singing, new shoes, and much laughter. But none of that was why I booked the trip to Melbourne. The real reason was that, last year, a certain Canadian blogger announced that she’d be visiting Australia during her world trip. I [...]

January Nibbles, Just [Not] Like a Koala

by Hannah on January 28, 2012

This post arises from the fact that I am both similar to and very different from a koala. What koalas and I have in common is that we both spend a large portion of our waking hours eating (or thinking about eating), but we diverge in the sense that koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves forever [...]

St Ali and Tasti D’Lite with Heidi: Melbourne Day Three

by Hannah on January 20, 2012

My very first pet was a rabbit called Heidi. She was very cute, and I loved the way she delicately nibbled carrots from my hand. However, she wasn’t the most friendly or cuddle-able of rabbits, and she once bit a hefty bleeding chunk out of my brother’s finger. I like this Heidi better. This Heidi, [...]

Komeyui Japanese Restaurant: Melbourne Day Two Concludes

by Hannah on January 18, 2012

And so it came to pass that after Thai and The Little Mermaid, cake for breakfast with my Sugar Twin, and frozen yoghurt for lunch followed by Pocahontas, my next Melbourne adventure involved Japanese food, more food blogger friends, and free alcohol. On Saturday night I-Hua, her fella and I drove to Komeyui Japanese Restaurant. [...]

by Hannah on January 16, 2012

Three things I should remind you of before we jump into this third post of my Melbourne adventures. 1. I had Cacao Green frozen yoghurt and a Dark Mocha Soy Frappuccino for lunch on Friday. 2. I stole some of I-Hua’s Cacao Green frozen yoghurt before dinner on Friday night. 3. I had cake for [...]

Duchess of Spotswood and My Sugar Twin: Melbourne Day Two Begins

by Hannah on January 12, 2012

After staying up late my first night in Melbourne to sing such lyrical gold as “sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain’t that sad, ain’t it shame, too bad, you gonna miss the girl” with I-Hua, and eating all the chocolate from my bed as well as much of I-Hua’s bag of dried mango from Costco, I woke up bright [...]

Sugar and Spice and All Things Singing: Melbourne Day One

by Hannah on January 10, 2012

I’ve spent the past five days gallivanting (or, as Agnes said, “social butterflying”) around Melbourne, and oh! oh! My heart, my soul, my happiness. Unlike my last visit, which was tacked to a work trip and fleeting in nature, this has been a true holiday. The five days have been filled with nothing but deliciousness, [...]

Movida Next Door, Last Year.

by Hannah on September 10, 2011

At times, Melbourne seems to me the embodiment of the friend who sometimes supports and builds you up, but equally as often seems to gain pleasure in tearing you down. I mean, how else can you explain a city that has, in the space of two trips/eight days, caused me to experience the following: Reliving [...]

Cacao Green, Lies, and Frozen Yoghurt: Melbourne Part Six

by Hannah on July 19, 2011

This is a story about lies. Lies and frozen yoghurt. This is a story about lies, frozen yoghurt, and how, sometimes, lies and frozen yoghurt can taste very, very sweet indeed. This is also a story about my final morning in Melbourne last month. You remember my Melbourne trip, right? It was the trip where [...]

The Reverse Dessert-Dinner Extravaganza Concludes: Veloce Restaurant Bar aka Melbourne Part Five

by Hannah on July 3, 2011

Photo courtesy of I-Hua And so, at last, we come to the last instalment of my Melbourne Reverse Dinner with I-Hua and her fiancé (CONGRATULATIONS!!). After partaking with glee in ten different desserts at Burch and Purchese and LuxBite, we three dedicated eaters made our way (or waddled our way, more like) to Veloce Restaurant [...]
