gastronomia!

one can't simply deny my attraction for food. i am currently placed in one of the best cities in the food where it is hard to get to "shitty" food. produce here are so fresh and cheap. everyone talks about food. in fact, everyone loves food here (or most of the people i meet). well i think melbourne is home to some of the best cuisines around - all thanks to its diverse multicultural society. somehow i find it really hard to keep in shape here.. visits to the gym does not involve a goal in achieving a perfect "pec-ed out" body, but an excuse for me to taste even more dishes during my short stay here every semester.

this semester have been rather "eventful".. realising that i will be going on a year-long exchange and leaving melbourne behind (definitely glad to be leaving the faculty), i was determined that i will embark on a quest to conquer the many gastronomic spots in melbourne that i have yet uncovered. of course this would not have been possible without the help with some friends with the one thing that affects the execution of the whole operation - THEIR CARS! i guess with the temperature dipping as we approach winter and with the whole MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA craze going on right now, our appetitie kinda grew as well (for that, i'm not complaining at all..)

well it's definitely going to be hard leaving melbourne for a year, but i am definitely looking forward to more food adventures in montreal (coffee of course!).. having said that, would like to share with you guys some of the best that i have tasted in melbourne, which have definitely made their contribution to my battle in curbing my (slightly)expanding waistline.. :)
