Partner In Crime


Beautiful food is even better when there's someone you love, equally keen to discover and share those secrets out there with you. The company, more important than the feast. A full week's of Jade's companionship for pure indulgence - shopping and feasting. Some of the highly decadent treats...


Kahlua and Dark Chocolate Cheesecake - Don Vincenzo

White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake, perfectly scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Marysville

Sticky Date Pudding with cream and ice cream - Dandenong

Chocolate Pudding - Dandenong
soft, formed and highly sauced

Scones with plum and raspberry jam

At French Quarters, North Melbourne

Chocolate Tart
Macadamia and Pecan Tart

Rich thick truffle centre

Creamy New York Cheesecake

Chocolate cake and Belgian Chocolate Mousse - Koko Black
Mousse goes so well with cake instead of cream and so yummy on its own

Dracula's Signature Belgian Chocolate Tombstone encasing raspberry mascarpone
- to die for

Going Asian or fusion...

Breakfast

Sri Scrambled Eggs with cherry tomatoes, curry leaves and coriander accompanied with roti
- Tom Phat

Baked Eggs with tomato salsa and tamarind pork

Yum Cha Lunch, Red Emperor:

crispy crab and avocado roll

Home-cooked dinner at our uncle and aunt's

Tempura Banana with green tea ice cream - Matsumoto, Brunswick East

Slim Jim: Lovely toast with fresh ricotta spread, beautiful eggs, avocado and spice fig chutney

Dinner at JJ's, Crown was exceptional although the poor lighting of the restaurant made it difficult for memory opportunities

Mains - exceptional duck breast and kangaroo
Side - tasty herbed sauteed mix mushrooms

Desserts


Tasting Plate
Strawberry Mousse topped with strawberry coulis
Chocolate self saucing pudding
Apple and walnut crumble
Vanilla Creme Brulee
Coconut Sorbet
- such a beautiful combination of chocolate and fruit, rich creamy and light and delicate
All perfect


The Maison Papillon Roquefort French cheese with caramalised walnuts and mix fruits, lovely but unfortunately forgotten from our eager pick

Shopping everyday, most productive for Jade at Bridge Road and DFO, Essendon helped us to indulge but with this, our holiday comes to an end and we need to put in some real good work
