Chez Dré

Chez Dré is a café situated opposite the famous South Melbourne market. It’s situated at the end of an alley way and looks like an old factory but the food there is amazing!

Went there on a Saturday with Chris, Cassy and Ethan for brunch before our kayaking adventures.

We were blessed with warm weather that day – it was so beautiful compared to the recent rain that we have been having in Melbourne (what happened to Spring!?)

I’ve been to this café three times now and all three time, I’ve ordered their duck sandwich. Amazzzzing! The duck is cooked so well, it melts in your mouth and I’ve never had bread that has been toasted so well.

Cassy and Ethan shared a steak sandwich – which was also amazing!

I got a karmarama juice which contained 9 different fruits. 100% fruit juice = super healthy

And the others got ice coffee, delicious and perfect for the warm weather. (All three of them drank their ice coffees before I had a chance to snap a pic! )

We also decided to spoil ourselves by ordering 2 desserts between the 4 of us. I’ve heard great things about their desserts especially their salted caramel macaron – so that’s what I chose and it didn't fail to meet my expectations!

And Ethan chose the lychee coconut jelly pudding – usually I don’t like the taste of coconut but it was very subtle and the lychee taste was beautiful!

Look at the detailing! So intricate!

Definitely coming back to try some other desserts! Look at their range. Wooww!

We then walked across the road – partly to help digest and partly to get Ethan some oysters. There’s a few oyster bars there, selling $1 for one fresh oyster. Ethan ordered 12 to share with Cassy. Oyster shots! Not Chris and my thing – we hate raw oysters!!

Tastes of Taiwan

One main challenge my bf and I face every day is deciding what to have for lunch. We do however have a select few places we frequently visit. Many will probably say it's just food, as long as you have something that fills you up then it'll be good enough. That's not the case for us as we consider price, quality, how fast the food takes to come out (we usually have 30-60 mins lunch break) etc. I think we've dined at most the good restaurants around our work place already as well as covered a diverse range of cuisines.

One of our favourite places to have lunch is this little Taiwanese cafe known as 'Easy Cafe'. They serve an authentic Taiwanese menu with items ranging from their famous Beef Noodle Soup to their chicken giblets (eek!) 

The flavours in their Taiwanese Beef Noodles is seriously so good!

My Orange Peel Tea                  &                 Chris' milk tea 

  

Another reason why we love this place is because they always have some awesome lunch/afternoon tea deal on. A main meal and a drink equals less than $10! Their serves are generous as well, worth every cent!
