Hikari is a lovely little cafe that serves a range Hikari is a lovely little cafe that serves a range of Japanese coffees! I agonised between choosing between a familiar or roaster I haven't tried yet, and opted for the former. Got a Glitch Coffee Santuario Project from Colombia, which was a very tasty choice! The shokupan was great too, with pepe saya butter and a drizzle of honey! #coffee #pourover #blackcoffee #filtercoffee #singleorigin #singleorigincoffee #specialtycoffee #shokupan #butter #honey #toast #japanesetoast #hikarilife #hikarilifeau #melbourne #cafe #melbournecafe #melbournecoffee #melbournespecialtycoffee
Yay it's Fluffy Torpedo time! I think I skipped th Yay it's Fluffy Torpedo time! I think I skipped this place the last time I was here? I can't remember! But I had to try out their unusual flavours. Top scoop is the vegemite white choc, bottom is salted liquorice. Both flavours are very good! #icecream #icecreamcone #doublescoop #wafflecone #liquorice #vegemite #whitechocolate #chocolate #artisanicecream #sweets #dessert #fluffytorpedo #melbourne #icecreamery #melbourneicecream
I promised myself to try many new places instead o I promised myself to try many new places instead of stick to old favourites, but I mean Fitzroy/Collingwood was on the way back from Zest so.... I ended up at Proud Mary, since I was too caffeinated to go to Aunty Peg's. Plus I needed food, so it seemed like the perfect choice! A short mac (finally! I wanted to order just one in Syd or Melb, since Perthians "ruined" it with the topped up XD) and I liked it! And a small snack - prawn roll to keep me going until my next snack :D #coffee #lunch #macchiato #shortmac #espresso #milkcoffee #singleorigin #singleorigincoffee #specialtycoffee #prawnroll #prawn #chips #proudmary #proudmarycoffee #melbourne #cafe #melbournecafe #melbournecoffee #melbournespecialtycoffee
I was told to visit Zest's new coffee tasting expe I was told to visit Zest's new coffee tasting experience studio and it didn't disappoint! It's a fantastic little place where you can book a tasting session with some amazing coffees on offer!  Turns out it's very quiet on a stormy day! I chose the Granja Paraiso 92, Colombia set, which featured the thermal shock process applied to different varietals. The three I tasted were the pacamara, stripe bourbon, orange gesha. These were fantastic coffees! My favourite one was the stripe bourbon, heeeaps of fruity flavours! They also showed me a super cool coffee machine, the Decent Espresso, which I haven't seen before! Apparently it can simulate other machines, which is essential for Zest to help troubleshoot coffee, and that's pretty amazing! What a wonderful experience, definitely worth checking out! #coffee #blackcoffee #filtercoffee #specialtycoffee #singleorigin #singleorigincoffee #coffeetasting #coffeeflight #zestcoffee #coffeeroastery #melbourneroastery #melbournecoffee #melbournespecialtycoffee
Wow what a morning to be trekking around Melbourne Wow what a morning to be trekking around Melbourne! Seeking out Hector's Deli in the middle of a storm wasn't the smartest idea, but very few things stop me from food adventures lol. Got an extremely satisfying beef and pickle toasted sandwich with cheese! Yum! #breakfast #toastie #sandwich #beef #pickles #cheese #bread #toast #hectorsdeli #melbourne #sandwichshop
What a nice dinner! I only wanted one fancy restau What a nice dinner! I only wanted one fancy restaurant while in Melbourne, so Komeyui was my choice this time around. I was really intrigued by their not sushi dishes, and managed to get some tasty stuff! Oysters with scallop, grapefruit, scampi caviar; cured toothfish, cucumbers, miso ginger sauce in a crunchy tart; the cutest scampi with soy curd skin; my favourite wagyu dish of the night, seared wagyu with truffle creme fraiche and smoked shiitake - the flavour was so good and I loved the texture of the beef in this one, maybe it was the cut that was used? that had a bit of bite to it, it was fantastic; and then proceeded to the 10 picece nigiri course. I enjoyed the salmon nigiri for the fried crispy bits on top, that crunch was great! There was a clear soup served too with beef and veg, before moving onto dessert - a matcha cake and yuzu panna cotta. So delicious! A special mention also goes to the matcha soybean tea I had, that was very enjoyable! #dinner #omakase #sushi #seafood #oyster #salmon #scampi #wagyu #beef #dessert #pannacotta #matcha #degustation #komeyui #japaneserestaurant #melbourne #melbournerestaurant #melborunefinedining

I needed to try the vanilla tart as a baseline, but also needed to try the white peach and ume, which was awesome, but I also had to try a savoury tart, and so got the potato and chorizo tart, which was also mindblowingly good!

Wow 279 is such a nice place! The coffees looked r Wow 279 is such a nice place! The coffees looked really nice and tempting, but I felt like getting a houjicha instead. Opted for their weekly special musubi - saba shio kombu - which was super yummy (now I want another one!), and also tried out their kuzu mochi which was fantastic!!! I loved the texture, and now I feel brave enough to try making some with tapioca starch too, since previously I'd bought a packet that used sweet potato starch I think. #breakfast #musubi #onigiri #rice #tea #japanesetea #houjicha #mochi  #sweets #japanesesweets #kuzumochi #279 #279victoriast #melbourne #cafe #melbournecafe #melbournespecialtycoffee #melbournetea
You can call this a very late lunch, or a very ear You can call this a very late lunch, or a very early dinner, or, very good food whenever you need to eat! Cumulus Inc is definitely still one of my old reliables, open all afternoon. Treated myself to a lot of seafood and some cucumbers! I love cucumber salads even though I rarely eat cucumber at home. Everything was so delicious! #oysters #tuna #tunatartare #seafood #goatcurd #peas #cucumbers #applecucumbers #mussels #tomato #cumulusinc #melbourne #melbournerestaurant
