Pacos Tacos

It was Grace's birthday celebrations and our night started with a glass of red at Siglo on an unseasonably nice winter night. What a nice place to admire a full moon and hot people in suits - many a 'young professional' as my mum would say.

Craving some solids, we headed up to Pacos Tacos of Bourke St, near William. I'm loving the latino food explosion - I don't think I had even really had proper mexican food before I moved to Melbourne. Not even one mexican place comes to mind when I think of Perth. Well there might be now but definitely not when I moved. Once unchartered territory, I literally have Mexican at least once a fortnight but I still have some places to try - Mamasita (will I ever get a table?), Bluecorn and Fonda.

Anyway Pacos Tacos is perfect for a later night drink and snack. I think I could live off corn and sangria. Well I could live off THIS corn anyway - is it embarrassing to order corn and then go back and order more corn?

Festive Pony

Sorry for the mini hiatus. My life has been very all consuming at the moment. Work, Magic Mike... Mainly Magic Mike. God that is the best movie ever. My friend Shnedha and I have been obsessed with the Ginuwine 'Pony' song which seems to be appropriate to sing in any situation. Update: Hot people are also now called ponies i.e. channing tatum is a pony. He is like the king pony.

Lui Bar, Rialto Tower

I have my friend Shereen visiting me at the moment! When people come visit me in Melbourne I love taking them to places that you can't experience elsewhere. Lui Bar, attached to Vue De Monde, was the perfect place to watch the sunset over Melbourne on a Sunday evening. On Sundays they play some smooth, smooth live music - great thinking music to reflect on a long day of doing nothing . We admired the view of Port Melbourne and St Kilda beach while we sipped on the Lola Montez Spider Dance Fizz and the smoked rhubarb Sous Vide Shrub which weirdly, was exactly like you would expect smoked rhubarb to taste. I think this place is just about to see my business there increase 500%...

In The Cellar...

Caught up with some friends at St Jude's Cellars on Brunswick St. It's got a industrial dining hall feel (I realise that makes it sound like Alcatraz) and it's a really cool space. What a nice place to sip on a glass of Spanish tempranillo. We sat at the back table which is surrounded by wine racks. I was in my own little world back there, munching on parsnip chips, northern African flatbread and the charcuterie platter. I think I could get used to dining in a cellar...
