Food diary

September 11, 2010 Carly Findlay 3 Comments

After an epically disappointing three days last week, I had three nights of seeing bands. Which made me much happier indeed. I have also eaten some pretty amazing food before the concerts. Except for before Powderfinger where I had chips with cheese and gravy.

Rather than mix these photos in with the concert reviews, I will post them here.

Dinner before Angus and Julia Stone, Thursday night.
Phamish, St Kilda

The beautiful Elvira

My brinner (breakfast for dinner) – salmon, hash brown, scrambled eggs on toast)

Elvira’s gnocchi prosciutto – looked good on the plate…

But the gnocci was a puzzling taste and texture
It was spinach gnocchi but we decided it was made of grass. The waiter said ‘it’s not boogers on a plate’ – and thank god!

Lunch on Friday – Japanese
Don 2 in Melbourne CBD

My roast pork don – $6.50 for roast pork, pickled radish, salad and rice!
My colleague’s sashimi plate – so cheap and so much salmon!
Yes, I wore almost the same outfit as the night before. Ok, so I was tired. And I reaaaaaallllly liked the top


Dinner before Angus and Julia Stone, Friday night

Chinta Blue, St Kilda

This was anchovy relish. It tasted like cat food. It was delicious though. My friend and I shared it. Everything else tasted bland in comparison.

Gado gado stuffed tofu. My favourite dish at Chinta Blue.

Roast duck with bok choy and rice. Fiddly.

Obligatory roti.

Brunch, Saturday afternoon
Big Mouth, St Kilda

Baked beans, cheesy toast and hash brown. The hash brown was like deep fried mash.
