You just found your new comfort food obsession. ๐ŸฅŸโœจ You just found your new comfort food obsession. ๐ŸฅŸโœจ If you need me, Iโ€™ll be at Hoppy Dumplings face-first in this spread.

Tucked away in West Melbourne, Kuru Cafe is a cosy Tucked away in West Melbourne, Kuru Cafe is a cosy, Japanese-styled hidden gemโ€”and yes, itโ€™s 100% dog-friendly! ๐Ÿถโœจ The food was a solid, comforting meal, though it didn't completely blow me away. Here is the honest breakdown: ๐Ÿ› Curry Chicken Karaage: The highlight! Incredibly tender and full of flavor. ๐Ÿฑ Pork Katsu Teishoku: Flawlessly crispy batter, but the meat itself was just a bit too lean.

It's so great to be back at our favourite @tempera It's so great to be back at our favourite @temperancesociety With a refreshing new menu perfect for this warm Autumn weather, we dug into the scrumptious "Fresh Orchard Crunch" and the decadent classic, "Huevos Benedictos". Superb execution, bold flavours, fresh ingredients. What more could you ask for?!
Ringwood, youโ€™ve been holding out on me. ๐Ÿธ Finally Ringwood, youโ€™ve been holding out on me. ๐Ÿธ Finally checked out @seeyouathollys and the vibe is actually coherent (a rarity these days!). Solid Italian-inspired eats and a drinks menu that kept us there way longer than planned. 10/10 night out. ๐Ÿโœจ
