Boy, did I eat well last weekend in Melbourne. Here are some of the highlights. Breakfast was smashed avocado and fetta at Three Bags Full in Abbotsford. The second 'wing' had just opened up that morning next door, so we were one of their first lucky customers. I had the best coffee I've had in a while.
A delightful dinner was enjoyed off pretty plates at The Commoner...a place I remembered reading about on this lovely blog.
We took no prisoners over a lunch at this new Kew restaurant - St Katherines serves all the food that you know you're not meant to have. You only live once, I say - and I'm almost tempted to take my husband to Melbourne just so he can experience the mini fish burgers and 'Katherine's Fried Chicken' (KFC). Check out this month's Gourmet Traveller, which has a great article on George Colombaris (Masterchef dude) and Shane Delia's latest venture.
Just when you thought I couldn't fit anymore in...we made a quick pit stop to Cupcake Central in Hawthorn for some super-cute baby cupcakes.
As you can imagine, I rolled back on to the plane and have put a bit more effort in to my jogs this week....it was all worth it though, you'll know what I mean once you try that fried chicken.

Oh my. That smashed avocado and feta concoction looks ah-mazing. Will file those Melb places away for our next visit. x
