Melbourne is full of hidden gems, and Higher Ground definitely falls into that category. Tucked away in a heritage-listed building, it's not your typical cafe. It has this cool industrial-chic vibe, with exposed brick walls and a multi-level layout that feels both spacious and intimate.
I went for brunch and was blown away by the menu. It's not your average fare - think avocado pretzel with a fancy twist or fiery chili scrambled eggs. I opted for the ricotta hotcakes with poached pears and maple syrup, and it was divine. The portion was perfect, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful.
The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. They were happy to answer my questions about the menu and the building's history, which added to the whole experience.
Overall, Higher Ground is a fantastic spot for a special occasion or just a treat. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service definitely justify the cost. I left feeling satisfied and already planning my next visit!

The minute I walked into Chin Chin on Flinders Lane, the energy hit me. It was electric! The music pulsed, the staff buzzed around like friendly bees, and the air thrummed with excited chatter. I snagged a spot at the bar, mesmerized by the bartenders juggling colorful ingredients, and immediately ordered a lychee martini – strong, sweet, and the perfect way to kick things off.
The menu was like a flavor explosion. Everything sounded so good, it was hard to choose. Luckily, my neighbor was a local and raved about the "feed me" option, a chef's selection of shared plates. So, I took the plunge, and let me tell you, it was a flavor adventure! We devoured spicy green curry, melt-in-your-mouth dumplings, and some of the most incredible crispy pork belly I've ever tasted. Each dish was a revelation, a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy.
Chin Chin isn't just about the food, though. It's an experience. The atmosphere is infectious, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is simply outstanding. It's the kind of place that leaves you wanting more, with a lingering taste of deliciousness and a smile on your face. If you're looking for a vibrant, exciting, and utterly delicious meal in Melbourne, Chin Chin is a must-try. Just be prepared to wait – the place is always packed!

I just got back from MONA in Tasmania, and let me tell you, it's an experience unlike any other museum I've been to. It's like stepping into a whole other world, quite literally – most of the exhibits are displayed in this underground labyrinth, with no natural light and quirky signs everywhere.
I have to admit, it was a bit disorienting at first. I downloaded their app like they suggested, which helped me navigate the darkness and find interesting pieces, but it definitely added to the "choose your own adventure" feel of the place.
The art itself? Well, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. There's a mix of ancient artifacts, modern masterpieces, and some truly bizarre stuff that will leave you scratching your head. But that's kind of the point, I think. It's meant to challenge you, make you think, and maybe even offend you a bit.
Overall, I had a blast at MONA. It's not your typical museum experience, and that's what makes it so memorable. If you're looking for something different, something that will stay with you long after you leave, then I highly recommend checking it out. Just be prepared for a wild ride!

After a long day exploring Melbourne, I stumbled upon Dodee Paidang and it was a flavor explosion! I wasn't sure what to expect from Thai street food, but this place definitely delivered. The atmosphere was buzzing - lots of happy diners and the staff were friendly and helpful.
I opted for the DoDee Variety noodles, and let me tell you, the hype was real. Each bite was a burst of flavor - savory, tangy, a little bit of heat - it was incredible. My friend got the Pad See Ew, and while I wasn't brave enough to try it myself (turns out I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to spice!), she raved about it. We also shared a soft shell crab salad - crispy, fresh, and bursting with deliciousness.
Overall, Dodee Paidang was a fantastic find. It was the perfect combination of delicious, authentic food, a fun vibe, and friendly service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Thailand in Melbourne.

Let me preface this by saying, I'm not usually a museum person. They can feel stuffy and overwhelming. But the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore was totally different.
Walking up to the building itself was a treat. The architecture is modern and cool, with these geometric shapes and a giant glass facade. It felt less intimidating than your typical grand museum entrance. Inside, the exhibits were bright and well-organized. They weren't just a bunch of dusty old things behind glass cases. There were everyday products, furniture, even concepts for future technologies, all presented in a way that sparked my curiosity.
I particularly enjoyed the section on sustainable design. It made me realize how much innovation is going into making things better for the planet, which is something I care a lot about. Plus, there were a few interactive displays that were actually fun to play with, not just some button you push and a screen lights up.
Overall, the Red Dot Design Museum was a refreshing museum experience. It felt relevant, inspiring, and even a little playful. If you're in Singapore and looking for something different to do, I highly recommend checking it out!
