Cavallero

by cecylia on April 17, 2010

I know, this is not a food blog and I am certainly no food critic. Although being a food taster, that I can do.

Recently, I came across a cafe on Smith St in Fitzroy called Cavallero, and have been going back there again and again ever since. You know my fascination with beautiful doors, so I could not go past these antique wrought iron gates.

I look especially tanned in this photo for some reason (not a good thing for Asians).. anyway…wearing vintage blouse, necklace, belt and shoes Sass & Bide cardigan and Nudie jeans, carrying a vintage bag from Ebay.

This is the Barramundi with mixed vegetables, I’m sure the name was fancier on the menu.

I am such an avid food fan and have a bottomless pit for a stomach I would not criticize any food I eat, except for the food I ate at a certain restaurant in Paris that gave me food poisoning…but it did help me shed some puppy fat, so how can I complain?

This homemade spaghetti with crab meat is my favourite dish. I actually regularly crave for it. It is the Western version of lobster noodles, extremely tasty. After eating these home-made spaghetti, my taste buds refuse to touch the other boring stuff.

You can’t go past a good steak.

I hate to say this, but dessert is not their strong point, I have had this lemon tart twice, and each time I regret having it afterwards. It is a lot more sour than it looks.

Nevetheless, Cavellero is one sassy place to have for dinner. Bring friends and enjoy the chilled atmosphere.

Consumption at the Conservatory

by cecylia on February 28, 2010

I am an avid food fan and buffets really lure me in. Recently I visited the Crown Conservatory. They have very fresh sea food and charming desserts. As you will later see, I totally over-indulged in dinner and had to loosen my snake-skin belt.

I opted for a sweet white minidress, suede wedges, these are my most comfortable shoes to date. I have stood in them for 12 hours and they will provide ample support.  I made my jade-pearl-onyx beaded necklace the night before. My snake skin belt was a vintage souvenir from Berne, Switzerland, and the Bally bag, a vintage souvenir from Spitalfields, London.

This is my big watch- all the better for me to tell the time. A recent thrift find.

This was my 1st course. I really piled it up. Told you I was a glutton. The food is so fresh, waiters remove all food after a certain time. The oysters were delicious too.

Beautiful desserts – tarts, cheesecakes, meringues, lemon tart, mousse, jelly and cakes. I was in sweet heaven.
