with Natasha Lukin at Ducky Brown Gateway.
 · Langwarrin, Melbourne · this is one of my other favorite places: Ducky Brown Cafe. Langwarrin, Victoria, Australia with their cool choices of food and that special touch that you expect from such place
we both ordered
egg breakfast with eggs benedict on sourdough bread with tomatoes, onion, avocado and beetroot - -yummmmmmm
not sure about these guys coffees but the coffee at McClelland Sculpture Park+Gallery was sublime!
atmosphere: 3/5
food: 4.5/5
service: 4/5 (no salt on the table and hard to find on the other tables)
the food is amazing but the menu is a bit messy to be honest and hard to find something that we wanted. plus they have dishes that are not on the menu - you have to search for them as the photos are at the front counter and no price to them too... -just the photos... IMHO this cafe was 10 times better two years ago. but lunch / breakfast in a good company does not make you notice small things...
you still want to buy our Entertainment Book? yes? https://www.entertainment.com.au/orderbooks/182v887

​I adore this kitchen : healthy, freshest , zesty and always surprising in taste ... at Now & Then Cafe Kew . We ordered ocean squid salad and soba noodles and smoked salmon salad and very refreshing on s hot day ! Delish!
CRISPY SQUID SALAD
goes with thai herbs, mild chili, oranges , cashews and veggies. it is very hard for me to say what are the ingregients of the seasoning for this salad but it is makes a big difference to the zesty taste of this dish: it is sweet, salty and sour at the same time but in a very mild and balanced way
SOBA NOODLES SALAD
consists of Asian herbs, cucumber , avocado, carrots, edamame, kale, toasted sesame, and coleslaw with roasted sesame dressing. we ordered the dish with smoked salmon.
COFFEE
adding to this a note: the coffee was horrible and tasted like the one made out of the instant jars - nescafe or something... not good - mimus points for this one
it is actually one of my favourite offers from Entertainment Book ...
atmosphere: 5/5
food: 4.5/5
coffee: 0
service: 2/5
the Entertainment Book is valid till July 2020 and will let you travel across Victoria's best places with joy: plus when you buy from us you will support our magazines with $15 from each sale https://www.entertainment.com.au/orderbooks/182v887 that will not help us of course to live but will show your appreciation to what we do!

S U M M E R !..

Would the cows ever guess there will be an alternatives to them : vanilla almond yogurt , berries and fruit ! Delisher and delisher !!!

Cherryhill Orchards is located in the beautiful Yarra Valley, just one hour’s drive from Melbourne. Known for growing some of the best cherries in the Australia, Cherryhill opens its gates every cherry season for visitors to come and pick their own sweet, fresh cherries.

· TorquayWe Torquay-ing with Marchev Misha today after longest ocean walk

feeling lovely with Marchev Misha at The Crux & Co.

Just one divine lunch at The Crux & Co 35 Albert road south Melbourne . Our review is coming up soon .. such a lovely place run by very friendly crew .

A very short brunch with Lucinda Keating who designed issue 12/2 with animals in fashion

feeling wonderful with Tass Nidis at Sister of Soul.
Do you sometimes have a feeling when you meet people that you always knew them ( from the lives before?) as if it was a void in your journey that they suddenly fill up with unconditional love , care , more love and happiness . Not that they did not go through hardships, pain and suffering in their own lives - they did - we all did - but it did not leave them bitter, dishonest or ungrateful - on the contrary - truth is the name here - they give as they know there is no difference in giving and receiving ... so here they are - a lovely couple ... thank you Tass Nidis and Irina for this lovely evening allowing us to bathe in your warmth again ❤ it was also such s vegan meeting that only vegan can understand ( and four legged ones refused to comment here lying down sleeping with the stomachs full of premium beef cuts ... they only got one thing right : they have a good friend with meat connections now and opportunity to model spontaneously ) 🙂 so this is not a question here : “ do you sometimes ... “ it is more like : yes , you do ! with an exclamation mark at the end (!)

 is with Marchev Misha at Heide Museum of Modern Art.
