December 5, 2010: Lau's Household Unit Of Measurement Kitchen

mock-meat places aside of course) - fifty-fifty inwards the vegetables as well as edible bean curd carte sections, many places throw inwards oyster sauce, pork mince or seafood (case inwards point: at a recent conference dinner I ordered 'stuffed edible bean curd inwards spiced salt', which turned out to live stuffed alongside manly someone monarch prawns). Our recent favourite, Idea Fine Food as well as Wine is no longer alongside us, then when semi-fancy meaty Chinese house Lau's Family Kitchen featured inwards Lisa's best eats for vegans as well as vegetarians nosotros were really keen to give it a shot.

We teamed upwardly alongside regular eating buddies Toby as well as K for an early on sun dinner, admiring the cute wallpaper decorating small-scale sections of the walls. The staff were rapidly on mitt to verbalize us through the carte - letting us know what could live done vegetarian as well as beingness completely on top of vegan requirements (the vego dumplings cause got a smidgen of egg, piece the delicious sounding eggplant special had fish sauce inwards it). They were happy to tweak a bunch of dishes for us, swapping as well as dropping ingredients then nosotros had a skillful hit of options. We decided to society everything nosotros could all swallow as well as portion - basically an entree as well as 4 mains.

The entree was a steamed rice noodle scroll alongside spinach ($13.50) - nosotros got 2 serves, as well as the waiter happily divided them upwardly into 4 petty bowls for us.

 fifty-fifty inwards the vegetables as well as edible bean curd carte sections Dec 5, 2010: Lau's Family KitchenThese were a cracking start - beautifully soft noodles, filled alongside spinach as well as sauced upwardly nicely. flavours were non specially strong, but I added a deport upon of the chilli sauce that they gave us, as well as was inwards heaven.

The commencement the mains was the around anticipated - ma po eggplant ($24, the waiter had decided that 2 dishes of tofu was every bit good many, then he'd got the chef to brand us an eggplant version of the ma po tofu).

our version, but wonderful nonetheless. Spicy without beingness painfully fiery, sweetness without beingness sickly as well as rich without beingness gluggy. If you're a vego at Lau's, society this dish (with tofu or eggplant, either would live great).

The tofu dish nosotros did endeavor was the deep fried edible bean curd alongside mushrooms ($18).

 fifty-fifty inwards the vegetables as well as edible bean curd carte sections Dec 5, 2010: Lau's Family KitchenThis was a overnice plenty dish, that suffered inwards comparing to the ma-po. The light-green vegies were fresh as well as crispy as well as at that topographic point was a overnice diversity of mushrooms to accompany the big fried chunks of tofu, but the sauce was a flake lacking inwards inspiration - it was enjoyable without beingness specially memorable.

Next upwardly was the stir-fried seasonal vegetables ($17).

 fifty-fifty inwards the vegetables as well as edible bean curd carte sections Dec 5, 2010: Lau's Family KitchenThis came inwards a similar sauce to the deep-fried tofu as well as was basically the same dish minus the tofu as well as addition to a greater extent than asparagus as well as mushrooms. Again, everything was fresh as well as tasty, but it wasn't the around exciting agency to pass $17 on food.

The concluding master copy on the listing that was veg-adaptable was the Singapore noodles (minus the park prawns as well as pork!, but nevertheless $24).

 fifty-fifty inwards the vegetables as well as edible bean curd carte sections Dec 5, 2010: Lau's Family KitchenThis had an overnice spicy boot as well as was filled alongside fresh, crunchy vegies. The noodles were okay every bit good (maybe a petty overdone?), but the whole dish was a tad on the oily side. Still, it was belike my mo favourite master copy of the night.

We left a petty disappointed alongside Lau's - partly due to our high expectations. The combination of such a cracking pedigree (the guys running this house are the sons of the original Flower Drum owner) alongside a reputation for veg-friendliness had us expecting something spectacular. The ma po eggplant as well as the rice noodle rolls passed muster, but the balance of the nutrient was only a tad underwhelming. Throw inwards only about reasonably hefty prices as well as it's non somewhere we're probable to live hurrying dorsum across town for.

Lau's Family Kitchen has been given positive reviews past times everyone else who has blogged it, then perhaps their meaty options are a flake to a greater extent than impressive - see: Melbourne Gastronome, Munching inwards Melbourne, 1001 dinners, 1001 nights, onnomnomnom, Gastronomical voyage inwards Melbourne as well as tummyrumbles.

Environmentally-minded omnivores may live a tad concerned that Lau's sells Patagonian toothfish, which is on the Greenpeace cherry list as well as rated 'avoid' past times Seafood Watch as well as the Australian Marine Conservation Society, suggesting it's non specially sustainable.

July 31, 2011: Dull Down! At Harley Court

January 2016: Slow down! at Harley Court has closed

Last weekend was unseasonably warm so, along amongst nearly one-half of Melbourne's population, nosotros laid upwards out for St Kilda for tiffin together with unopen to sun. Galleon together with checked it out.

Part of this restaurant's involvement inward veg-friendly meals no dubiousness stems from its ho-hum nutrient ethos: Slow Down aim to beginning 90% of their create from inside 200km together with brand it seasonal, sustainable together with organic wherever they can. (This way that there's no guarantee that what nosotros ate volition move on the carte du jour if you lot select to visit.) One of their sneaky approaches to upping the veg ratio is offering iv kinds of soup. Granted, they are groovy sounding soups (minestrone, pumpkin together with garlic, cream of mushroom together with celeriac, cream of cauliflower, nutmeg together with pangrattato - made amongst soy cream!), but I to a greater extent than ofttimes than non prefer something I tin give the axe larn my teeth into when eating out.

Michael tried the casserole of the day, a mix of chickpeas together with vegetables inward tomato plant sauce, served amongst toast ( $10). We were surprised at how pocket-size the serving was together with though the character of the vegetables was good, Michael wasn't much inspired past times the flavour.

My vegetarian rendition of the Big Breakfast ($14.90) was to a greater extent than impressive. The beans were similarly under-seasoned but the mushrooms together with spinach to a greater extent than than made upwards for it, but bursting amongst flavour - I gauge that's local, seasonal create for you. And few things endear me to a cafe quite together with so much equally a hand-made hash brown. The eggs were good poached but I'm to a greater extent than of a scramble gal myself - I forgot to specify my preference to our waiter, he didn't ask, together with I gauge the chef but took a punt. At to the lowest degree it was a skilled punt.

It's difficult to larn enthusiastic nearly a venue amongst a ho-hum turnaround; nosotros waited a looooong fourth dimension for our meals to brand it fifty-fifty though at that spot would bring been piddling else queued upwards at that time. Some other bloggers bring reported like waits.  The tiffin carte du jour was a mixed bag, largely saved past times the character create rather than the preparation, together with I'd move to a greater extent than interested inward returning for breakfast or dinner - the options looks a piddling to a greater extent than various at these times.

Vegilicious

October 11, 2014


We were completely unaware of Vegilicious, as well as owe it to Berk as well as Clamps for leading us at that spot inwards betwixt the bands nosotros were seeing on our day past times the green. I've since learned that Vegilicious has been run equally a vegetarian nutrient stall as well as catering work concern for years as well as earlier lately opening an expansive eatery as well as bar on Carlisle St.

Surrounded past times timber furnishings, tropical plants, as well as warm lighting, I felt similar I was stepping into northward Queensland's coolest vegetarian hang-out; I listen the courtyard's lovely too, though it powerfulness non accept the humidity to save my delusion.


The carte du jour tends toward the homespun as well as hearty, complimentary of mock meat but offering enough of tofu for protein. Vegan as well as gluten-free items are good marked as well as capture most of the menu, from fritters as well as rice newspaper wraps to pastas, burgers as well as curries. I appreciated their extended listing of non-alcoholic drinks, selecting a mineral H2O flavoured alongside home-made orangish passionfruit syrup ($3).


The Irish Gaelic patato wedges ($8) are tender as well as bountiful, sprinkled alongside rosemary tabular array salt as well as served alongside a side of tofu mayo as well as sweetness chilli sauce.


Otherwise nosotros shared the Vegelicious Extravaganza Share Platter ($36), ordering the two-person vegan version for the 4 of us (...Clamps as well as Michael had fiddling appetite). It's a fair sample of what the carte du jour offers - cauliflower fritters inwards a cumin seed batter, thick okonomiyaki topped alongside pickled ginger as well as shredded nori, mild mixed vegetable skewers, rice newspaper rolls, lentil patties, dips as well as a sprawling salad. We liked some elements to a greater extent than than others but never had a run a jeopardy to tire of anything.


Purely for completeness, nosotros shared a dessert too. The vegan pick of the nighttime was a raw chocolate as well as cashew cake served alongside a scoop of So Good cook icecream ($10). While the icecream was utterly ordinary, the marbled mock cheesecake marks a altitude for raw desserts - beautifully constructed as well as devastatingly smooth, alongside a satisfying chocolate flavor as well as a fiddling something else that could've fooled me for a shot of Baileys. I assume they're ordering these in, maybe from Pana or A2G.

The carte du jour at Vegilicious doesn't suspension whatsoever novel the world but it's generous inwards its style; inclusive of exceptional diets, alongside home-made touches as well as lavish portions. I reckon this restaurant's warm, relaxed atmosphere is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than appealing than its cashew cake.

All skillful signs, but I decided to delay my take in past times a farther calendar week together with thence that the excursion would coincide amongst the just shifted her breakfasting loyalties to the Galleon to fit amongst a shift from her favourite Las Chicas staff. Given how much I liked Las Chicas, this tin exclusively live on skillful tidings for the Galleon. But I didn't bespeak to know that to live on impressed - equally nosotros wandered over to the market, I suggested to Michael inward a most roundabout agency that if nosotros stayed inward St Kilda for a span of hours nosotros could e'er teach dorsum at that topographic point for lunch. I had my pith on the pikelets. And I'll devour them yet, dammit!

So, teach forth together with breakfast at the Galleon. It has everything the Boathouse didn't offering (a vegetarian) at footling to a greater extent than than one-half the price. Just teach upwards before than the hungover hipsters to ensure a tabular array indoors.

Matcha Mylkbar

February 24, 2019


Matcha Mylkbar opened to a flurry of instagram attending a twain of years ago, at the forefront of the turmeric latte scene. Their mistaken eggs, charcoal buns together with algae drinks struck me every bit gimmicky together with offputting, together with thus nosotros didn't instruct to whatever endeavor to visit. Recently, the cafe turned upwardly every bit a convenient spot for a slow tiffin together with a score recount with our mate Lisa later a sweltering game of mini-golf.

The all-vegan carte was much to a greater extent than appealing than I'd initially expected. Yes, at that topographic point are x novelty lattes with the alternative of a flying of four, together with 5 farther matcha drinks. But enough of the meals caught my oculus together with my appetite, from a summery acai bowl, to vege-filled bowls, burgers, together with mac'n'cheese waffles (!).



Michael feasted on the big breakfast ($25) with turmeric scrambled tofu, 2 slices of sourdough toast, konjac bacon, murphy together with leek rosti, truffle roasted mushrooms, wilted kale together with Lycopersicon esculentum relish. He rates it with the best vegan breakfasts unopen to town.


At the concluding possible moment, I switched from a mac'n'cheese waffle guild to the 3 patch feed ($22). This plate looks just similar what yous powerfulness facial expression from KFC adjacent door! The house-made fried chicken isn't also dense (unlike its delicious but directly regrettable Loving Hut analogue), together with has a pleasantly seasoned crunchy batter. The crinkle-cut chips are crispy, the coleslaw is fine, together with the tub of potatoes together with gravy earned connoisseur Lisa's approval. I idea the portioning was perfect.


Finally, here's a shot of Lisa's mock poached egg. While the agar agar-set white is perchance a chip also jellied, the gooey sweetness murphy centre looked only right.

The Matcha Mylkbar marketing has never been our style, but it turns out there's some smashing nutrient to relish hither regardless. I reckon we'll travel popping dorsum inwards adjacent fourth dimension nosotros uncovering ourselves inwards St Kilda.

Newmarket Hotel

April 6, 2012
Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelOur principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at Melbourne's trendiest restaurants tin hold upwards procured acre most of the population is hanging out at campsites together with vacation houses along the Great Ocean Road. We decided to have got payoff past times crossing town for luncheon at the much hyped Newmarket Hotel inwards St Kilda.

Despite the mountains of coverage this house has received (check out the listing at the bottom of the post), it hadn't genuinely made our agency onto our wish-list, likely because almost every shipping service focuses on crab tacos, roast pork together with steak. Once I bothered to genuinely facial expression at huitlacoche again.

The Newmarket presents an unassuming facade, befitting the form of house amongst a fairly seedy history, but the within has been remodelled to within an inch of its life. It's fancy. And acre it yet calls itself a pub, it's pretty clearly a eating theatre - I can't imagine you lot tin plough upwards of an eve together with select care of a potable together with a bite, this is a house where you lot majority a few weeks inwards advance. There's non an overarching topic to the fit-out, amongst concrete arches butting upwards against novelty wallpaper together with old-fashioned carpeting clashing amongst trendy light-fittings. The leafy courtyard looked glorious on the sunny afternoon nosotros went, but I gauge fifty-fifty on Good Fri you lot require a booking to secure a tabular array out there.

Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelThe carte du jour is heavily Mexican inspired, amongst a hint of Kingdom of Spain together with California peeking through. It's also long, complicated together with non especially good designed. Thankfully, our waitress gave us a quick rundown together with helped us figure out what form of quantities would hold upwards appropriate (hilariously, she did cite that she's non allowed to role the give-and-take pizza when describing the wood-fired flatbreads, which suggests someone at the Newmarket takes themselves a smidgen likewise seriously). It's a carte du jour focussed on sharing, together with Cindy together with I dissever 3 dishes betwixt us.

First up, the soft tacos amongst crisp zucchini flowers, goat's cheese, olives together with roasted peppers ($17).

Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelI genuinely liked these - they were a peachy combination of flavours together with textures, amongst the cheese taking pride of house (a banker's complaint for vegans: almost all of the veg materials hither is cheesy, although the carte du jour does proclaim a willingness to cater to all dietary requirements). Still, every bit delicious every bit they were, $17 for 2 tiny tacos does experience a piddling fight wrong.

We couldn't resist ordering the huitlacoche quesadilla, amongst bbq mushrooms, spinach together with jack cheese ($17).

Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelThis was a crispy, cheesy delight, but both Cindy together with I were a fight pathetic that the flavor of the corn smut was form of buried past times all the other stuff. It yet had a hearty mushroomy flavor together with was complemented past times the crunchy corn kernels sprinkled on top. Not likewise shabby.

The somewhat surprising star of our repast was the side-salad: a combination of radicchio, witlof together with fennel amongst figs, mozzarella together with an artichoke together with walnut dressing ($16).

Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelThis was perfect - the sugariness figs together with salty mozzarella working turning the fairly uncomplicated medley of greens into a show-stopper of a salad. Cindy detected a hint of love inwards the dressing, acre I was trying to figure out how they'd snuck thus much flavor into the white sauce on locomote past times of the mozzarella. Outstanding.

We'd intentionally saved ourselves a fight of dessert space, together with happily dissever the Mexican java together with tequila flan amongst drunken cherries ($14).

Our principal regain this Easter weekend has been the surprising ease amongst which tables at thou Newmarket HotelBoy were those cherries drunken. Deliciously, deliciously drunken. Yum. The flan itself was peachy every bit good - rich without beingness overwhelming together with amongst a cute crispy fan of sesame seeds to render a fight of textural variation. This is a fine dessert.

The Newmarket is pretty expert at what it does: fancied upwards Mexican nutrient amongst some clever twists. You create cease upwards paying for it - I doubtfulness the $17 tacos inwards the 'street food' department of the carte du jour appear on whatsoever street inwards the the world - but nosotros didn't genuinely experience similar nosotros were getting ripped off. For a tick over $30 a head, Cindy together with I got 4 pretty wonderful dishes together with were treated to friendly together with helpful service from our waitress (although the surly guy who seated us is a weird pick every bit the commencement somebody you lot bargain with). They have got their drinks pretty seriously every bit well, amongst a broad attain of first-class beers on tap together with some stunning sounding cocktails. If you lot intend of the Newmarket every bit an upmarket dining experience rather than a nighttime at the pub together with thus I doubtfulness you'll come upwards away disappointed.

Soulmama Iii

May 13, 2012

Edit 07/06/2012: We heard final calendar week that Soulmama is unopen again!
Soulmama disappeared from the St Kilda Baths erstwhile final twelvemonth as well as mysteriously reappeared after on Fitzroy St. While the ornamental dragon has moved amongst them, I get together that the owners bring changed. The bill of fare has shifted from by as well as large buffet to all a la carte as well as remains all vegetarian. Vegan options are good marked but gluten-free pointers are less consistent.

We visited amongst the Moody Noodles, as well as started out past times sharing a bowl of fries ($9.50) as well as the Japanese gyoza ($11).
Both of these were enterprise renditions as well as turned upwards promptly.

Toby as well as Michael shared on, divvying upwards hot smoked tofu ($22) marinated inwards soy, plum as well as roselle therefore served amongst bok choy, peanut sauce, cucumber, cherry-red onion, kokosnoot vinegar as well as jaggary. This was an strange combination of flavours presented oddly on the plate as well as it didn't win over either of them.

They enjoyed the person burger ($20.50) to a greater extent than - the patty was good composed amongst dark beans, pumpkin as well as chipotle, therefore complemented amongst caramelised onions as well as guacamole, as well as served amongst to a greater extent than fries.


I ordered 1 time to a greater extent than from the Starters section, hoping that the $16.50 cost tag hinted at a decent portion. This actually paid off - the soy-valaki boasts roughly first-class mock meat, which is stuffed into a twine amongst to a greater extent than caramelised onions as well as salad. It's a lovely calorie-free repast if you're fond of imitation meat.

K's fajitas ($24) attracted the most attending of all - their gluten condition was questionable as well as seemed to come upwards up clear inwards the terminate (K's bloat-o-meter scored depression overnight), as well as they only looked damn tasty. There's to a greater extent than of those tender soy strips upwards front, too equally guacamole, fresh salsa, roughly greenish leaves as well as a dyad of tortillas.

We flora room for dessert - the vanilla panna cotta ($12) is coconut-based as well as vegan-friendly, topped amongst tart raspberries as well as coconut. Michael's serve seemed to disappear inwards seconds.

I plodded to a greater extent than slow through the triple chocolate cake ($14.50), roughly other vegan victory. The chocolates 3 are a dry out cake base, impressive mousse mound as well as syrupy drizzle. If you're non upwards for the dessert as well as sorbet tasting plate ($29), this is a completely shareable half-price alternative.

Our waiter was friendly as well as attentive though she struggled a piddling to safely serve our resident coeliac. I've never quite worked out what Soulmama is pitching at; the fit-out is smart casual amongst new-agey Asia-inspired accents nonetheless it serves fries, pizza as well as dumplings, as well as charges quite a lot for the package. Our dishes were to a greater extent than successes than failures but felt overpriced. Maybe we're only non the target demographic - nosotros seemed surrounded past times families happy to pony upwards as well as part a vegetarian repast inwards this setting.

February 25, 2007: Lentil Every 2Nd Anything

Australia Day awards would convey attracted our patronage past times now. Alas, unless you lot count our breakfast at Lentil As Africa, nosotros failed. With the encouragement of Emma in addition to Simon in addition to their visiting friend Ben, nosotros lastly made it at that topographic point on the weekend. And, unfortunately, it was a niggling disappointing.

We turned upward at merely about vii in addition to fortunately snagged a tabular array for 5 - it's a tiny place, which belike only seats thirty people at a stretch, in addition to hence nosotros were pretty lucky. The walls are covered amongst a mixture of artwork in addition to posters for yoga classes, in addition to the full general vibe is equally hippy friendly equally you'd expect. The carte du jour is a fairly impressive listing of vegetarian delights - curries, burgers, noodles in addition to other vaguely Asian-inspired options. We started off amongst a circular of mango lassis which, inward the idosyncratic trend of the place, required us to relinquish our H2O spectacles equally at that topographic point were insufficient spectacles for us to convey both H2O in addition to lassis. The drinks were modest but tasty - loaded upward amongst fresh mango, dear in addition to sprinkled amongst cinammon.

 nosotros actually should convey made to a greater extent than of an endeavour to review Lentil As Anything some fourth dimension inward ou Feb 25, 2007: Lentil As AnythingWhen it was fourth dimension for eating, I chose a pea in addition to white patato curry, served amongst yoghurt, relish, cerise rice in addition to roti, land Cindy went for oknomiyaki, topped amongst tofu mayonaise, pickled ginger, sweetness soy in addition to seaweed. The nutrient took ages to come upward and, afterwards 45 minutes or so, my curry came amongst neither rice (they'd run out) or roti (no thought why - Ben's was roti-tastic). Still, I could count myself lucky - Cindy's Japanese pancake was nowhere to live found. After waiting for some other few minutes, I enquired - unfortunately they'd somehow forgotten it, in addition to hence Cindy - the slowest eater at the tabular array - was left waiting land the residuum of us dug in. By the fourth dimension her repast arrived, nosotros were all finished in addition to the black had larn slightly frustrating. To live fair, despite the lack of rice in addition to roti, my curry was pretty tasty - the potatoes were good roasted, the sauce was spicy in addition to the salad broke upward the carbs nicely. And when Cindy's oknomiyaki lastly turned up, it was the highlight of the black - pipage hot, slightly sweetness in addition to delicious. Unfortunately, the kitchen seemed ill-equipped to continue upward amongst need in addition to it seemed similar the gimmick of having no develop prices provided a licence to live a flake slapdash amongst the service. It's a shame, because I was all develop to write a rave review of a house amongst a fantastic menu, dandy food, ridiculously large portions in addition to a wonderful philosophy, but it all ended upward a flake of a permit down. Maybe it was karma - fate getting us dorsum for ignoring Lentil equally Anything for in addition to hence long. We'll belike examine i time to a greater extent than at i of the other venues inward the future, but amongst slightly lowered expectations.
