Cornutopia - Taco Van @Preston Market

This is Saturday, with the worst weekend weather in Mlebourne so far for the year.
The weather forecast was saying something about raining, strong wind, and freezing cold of 15 degrees max.
I woke up in the morning and Gian told me, this is freaking sunny..
So here we go, all the way 25mins drive to Preston Market to hunt what so called the best taco van in Melbourne, called Cornutopia..

I have to say, its worth the drive
weather was fine..
until we finish eating, then it started to rain..

Where have I been (lately)?

As i always answer my friends who tell me to have a puppy here in Melbourne, "Am not doing it, not until Im sure I can commit and have (not just spare) time for them. Its not fair for the dog to be owned by someone who doesn't even have time to take them out everyday, at least once.".
I feel having a blog is sort of the same thing, up to a certain point ofc, where I just feel obligated to update around..
So, lets see what can I say.. where have i been lately..?

This post is about one of my best friend visit from Jakarta..

Sweet enough, I took a day off last Friday, knowing that my friend from Jakarta was coming to town.
We used to leave together as housemate at Clayton, years ago.. and she is coming for a weekend only.
It was funny how she keep on telling me that she will get to Melbourne on Friday morning, and going back home on Sunday midnight. I figure we have plenty of time to go around and eat all of those food on her list that she's been dying to eat. All are good and planned beautifully in my head till I realise that she suppose to be goin back on Saturday night, Sunday 00.00AM. Crazy thing?!!

So anw, here's what we got to fit in with that (practically) crazy 48hours visit in Melbourne~
Manchester Press - the Bagel expert
Menya - GyuTanDon
Big Breakfast & Egg Atlantic - Degraves
Boost Juice
Yong Tofu - Target Centre Bourke st
iSpicy - Pork Shank

She should have said at least for another 24hours..
then I can bring her around~
who disagree?

Another food and dining out post~

This post is about my other food and dining out this weekend..
We did quite a bit of eating out this weekend, and I just feel all guilty now. I knowww!~
But i guess its fine as long as I am back to my strict weekdays healthy lifestyle tomorrow.

Anyway, this time we went to try out a new Korean place called Mook Ji at Lonsdale.
We originally wanted to go Gami (again) but then comes up with this idea to try a something different.

Hot Cheese and Spicy Fried Chicken - They really are SPICY

Kimchi Pancake - Their Size is as Big as a Large Pizza

Then we had straight for dessert next door at one of the cafe at Degraves.
It was surprisingly really good, we share one cake, and it was his pick.
A flourless chocolate mud cake~
Yummo..
and see how funny my hot chocolate topping was, looks just like a zebra.

Zebra Topping Hot Chocolate

Blue Corn - St Kilda

It was Cinco de Mayo (5th of May), a date where the United States celebrate and commemorate the Mexican heritage and pride.Read more here from Wikipedia.

We decided try Blue Corn, a well known Mexican restaurant at St Kilda.
Place looks small from online reviews that we can find earlier, but was surprised when they got some more tables hidden at the back of the restaurant.

It was packed and we waited for around 30mins before we finally got our main.
It was a good place to eat, not as WOW as Mamasita, but definitely worth a visit.

Things that we ordered.

Chicken Fajita

Too Big Too Wrap Burito

Grape Fruit Margarita - Strongest I ever had for Margaritta
