Trips away definitely no longer revolve around food these days. Rather, it is all about keeping the children busy and occupied, and then squeezing in the best possible lunch in the most appealing family-friendly cafe that we can find! Yesterday’s Taiwanese Bao, found in a little cafe in Sandringham, did not disappoint. Paul was pleased … Continue reading
Luckily for us, our holidays have coincided with the time we need to spend in Melbourne while we await the arrival of our newborn. While being heavily pregnant does put limits on what I can do, Paul and I have still managed to do some culinary exploring around the area in which we are staying. … Continue reading
