Melbourne

I have never been to Melbourne, but i have heard wonderful stories of the country. The most popular one being that Melbourne is a Coffee heaven! & Boy was it true! I absolutely loved the coffee brewed there. It's not too bitter which is perf for my tastebuds. I don't even have to add sugar which is what i normally do. 

The buildings here are so English like that it reminds me abit of London! My friend & i stayed with our mutual friend's sister who owns an apartment there. She told us that Melbourne is a major hipster country. Hahaha. After seeing it all, i totally agree! There are tons of cafes & all of which serves up a good meal! 

Oh &, the best part.. MELBOURNE IS A SHOPPING PARADISE!!!!!
I am def going back to Melb jsut to shop! It's amazing i swear! Their branded goods such as addidas, Puma, Nike, Volcom, Lovisa etc. are sold at huge factory price at the Direct Factory Outlets. It so incredibly awesome i wish i had brought more money & a higher weight check in for my luggage. 
I will do a seperate entry for the DFO shopping in Melbourne.

Street Food

  1. Rain Or Shine
Rain or Shine is an ice cream shop that sells a wide variety of flavors. Every single week without faily, i would walk over to the shop to purchase a cone. They have a few categories of ice creams such as "The Keepers" & 'Seasonal Flings".

I only tried the flavors under "The Keepers". Because the flavors in that category were more like what i would eat. Anw, i tried all the flavors except fot 2 as i am not a fan of Sorbet. I love that the texture of their ice cream is so smooth. Also, it's only $5.65 for a scoop with cone! Their scoop is extremely generous too! They make the cones on the spot! It's super awesome.

London Fog & Coffee Toffee.
Love these flavours as well but maybe i shldn't have ordered them tgth. Both flavours dont go well tgth. They have a 2 flavours in 1 scoop thing. So you can try more flavours & you pay the same price at the same amt of ice cream given! I really love the Coffee Toffee!
Malted Milk Chocolate.
This is one of my fav flavours which i constantly ordered.

Honey Lavendar & Peanut Butter.
I ordered 2 scoops to share with my mum.

2. Oreo Thins

Okay this isn't a street food but i had to post it. SG does not have these Oreo Thins. I've searched for em but didn't see any. I actually prefer my Oreos to be eaten thin than a thick one. I finished this entire packet of Oreo Thins!! They were so good! Like crunchier thin than thick. Also the creamy thing in the middle is lesser so.. Bonus points! Lol.


3. Japadog

Website: Japadog

Japadog is a food truck that sells fusion hot dogs- Japanese & Western. I absolutely love their hot dogs. Best hot dogs i've ever had. My fav was the Terimayo, which happens to be a crowd fav too! They are located at a couple of places within Vancouver. Go to their website to find out the locations. If you ever do come across a Japadog food truck, you HAVE TO try their mad delicious hot dogs. 






(Left to right): Terimayo Hot dog & Hot&Spicy hot dog.

Loved the Terimayo hot dog but not the Hot & Spicy one tho. The hot & spicy hot dog filling was served cold with the sausage hot. It's kinda weird. Also the chilli was kinda spicy. I'd def pick the Terimayo hands down.
(Left to right): Love meat & Okonomi.
Both equally delish! (:


4. Tacofino

Tacofino is a Mexican food truck. Their burritos are so good! Esp the pull pork burrito! for $11 i'd say it's pretty damn worth it for the portion given & quality of food! SO DARN GOOD! They were located somewhere along Burrard street. You can always google to find their location!






6. Nook

Nook is an Italian restaurant & they make their own pastas & pizzas. I absolutely love their thin crusted pizzas & pasta. Every dish had so much flavour it was a really awesome meal! Plus the prices are affordable!
