(yes, MM is employed again...at least until next week, after which 1.5months of holidays/travelling follows...can't wait!)
Well, not deviating from our previous theme...I chose to share with you today - Auction Rooms, a popular brunch spot in North Melbourne. I've been there a few times myself...probably a couple of times for brunch, and IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-65185270742831146752011-05-01T23:32:00.004+10:002011-05-02T12:19:18.824+10:00Snow PonyGreetings, y'all! Yes, we are back on the blogging block, and I certainly hope we are here to stay for a while longer. Lots has been happening since we last updated, but as MM had said, we never stopped eating (obviously) and am still always on the lookout for good food!
Brunchy times has become sort of a staple for girly get-togethers and catch-ups for us (as we have graduated from student IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-47867087053976315142011-05-01T00:45:00.001+10:002011-05-01T00:45:12.275+10:00MART 130 (reprise)Was sorting through old photos and found more pictures from my very visit to MART 130. The post is just to share the drool-worthy photos. It appears my friends and I had variations of the 4 types of 'mart eggs'. Perhaps for completion's sake, I should have included the mushroom & chives eggs (which already appeared in the previous post).
I'm hungry!!

I've heard/read a lot about MART 130 previously...how it's a play on the word 'tram' spelled backwards, and how it's located at stop 130. It always sounded really interesting but it wasn't until my first visit (late last year) that I fell in love IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-23888305035477328282011-04-30T17:03:00.024+10:002011-05-02T12:06:27.190+10:00Cutler & Co.Previous attempts to dine at Cutler & Co. were foiled by too huge a party (the restaurant requires a party of 8 people and more to go for the degustation menu and with various dietary requirements, we were not keen to do so). This time round, with a smaller party, we finally managed to reserve a table for four on thursday night (after forgoing friday night as it was fully booked).

It has been a long long while...
We have been busy with studying and now work...but myself - MM, is currently on sabbatical and do have a little bit of free time on my hands. I decided to start talking about my favourite past-time (one of them, the other being shopping), i.e. eating again. I changed the look of IronEaters a little, armed with very limited know-how...and am keen to keep IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-63744801084883880082008-07-30T23:33:00.015+10:002011-04-29T23:04:24.792+10:00baking!!I think this is the first post of something home-made :)
It all began during the brief 2-week holidays...there was a potluck for a friend's going away party, and I decided to bake a cheesecake (because that was the only thing I ever baked)...thought that would help to de-stress post-exams! Following that, I baked a couple more cheesecakes (with San on one occasion) and couldn't stop looking at IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-34329305442403638232008-07-20T00:36:00.012+10:002011-04-29T23:04:56.423+10:00Ma Brown RestaurantMouse is back on da blog (block)!
Thanks to my MM sister for up-keeping the blog for the past week while I regain my interest and love for blogging all things food! ^^ I certainly hope I am back to stay for a while - have been taking photos of food for the past few days! Hohoho.

Actually, it is because I have a few things from HK I would like to share still, and I decided to lump them all under one post.
Street Food
Frankly I didn't have enough street food (so many more I would have loved to try...but I wasn't feeling very well for that whole month there...plus, too much to eat, too little time) but here IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-39037863124302412752008-07-15T18:28:00.012+10:002011-04-29T23:34:22.152+10:00NOBU MelbourneMost of us would have heard of Nobu. It is a chain of restaurants started in the US, a collaboration between Robert De Niro and Nobu Matsuhisa, a chef known for his fusion cuisine - traditional Japanese dishes with a twist, incorporating South American (Peruvian and Argentinian) ingredients. Nobu's flagship Manhattan restaurant is apparently a renowned hang-out for A-list stars...a place for IronEatershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520349437482889881noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044099884002414374.post-371150394890673502008-07-14T23:50:00.011+10:002011-04-29T23:05:51.619+10:00Manchester LaneDecided to write about something more recent. Too many places we've been to (but to be honest, haven't been as deligently taking photos as before) and happened to click on the Manchester Lane folder first, so this shall be it!
Named after the lane it is situated on, this bar-restaurant is known for its live music.

I am sure any one who has been to HK would know Hui Lau Shan (from now on known as HLS)...and if you love mangoes, it will be your favourite place :) I went almost every day! For me, the combination of mango and coconut is simply ingenious!! And speaking of, there is such a combination at Boost juice (tropical storm?) but nothing beats HLS!

I must say that it has been a long long time since then and I do not remember where this place was (i.e. name of restaurant/address) :( The place was pretty, the food was pretty (especially the ones on display) and hence I like!

Erm, I don't really know the exact location where we had these, but they are considered pretty common in Sibu. We actually didn't have a lot of hawker food because, y'know, CC's parents are like awesome chefs. But of course we have to try the most famous Foochow food in Sibu.

No doubt that I do like certain spicy foods (i.e. tom yum and curries), but certainly not majority and I cannot take food that are extremely spicy.

Grill'd is a burger bar claiming to offer a healthier version of burgers ~ 100% chicken breast, beef, lamb n veggie pattie (preservative free).

We went to this restaurant at Docklands 2 weeks ago to celebrate MM's birthday. The reason we chose this restaurant is simple, we just flipped thru Mouse's Entertainment Book with seafood and somewhere near in mind, and hence Fish it is =)
