Melbourne is the place for it...

Something that I am totally loving about Melbourne is the abundance of amazing places to go for coffee, drinks, cocktails, dinner etc. It's just great being able to organise a catch up with a friend or two and just working our way around a half dozen bars or cafes and just checking them out, having a coffee or drink, absorbing the surroundings. Could never get tired of it. Melbourne is definitely the place for it.

Sunday I Met Dom at rednine cafe on Degraves St for a coffee. Great cafe, great coffee. Sunday afternoons sees live music as well.
Next stop, Kitten Club on Flinders Lane. The staff were really really friendly. We rocked up 20 minutes before they opened, and they were still very accomodating... we ordered amazing cocktails and chatted away with the staff. Good fun.
Dom is funny... he gets that typical asian blush across his face when he is drinking... its pretty funny :o)

We decided our next port of call would be Greville Street Prahran - THE place I want to live :o) This has to be my favourite street in Melbourne. Hot cafe's, hotter bars, great places to shop, just off Chapel street and Prahran Station is only 3 stops from Flinders Street...

Turns out Dom could handle it there too... so we talked a lot about flat hunting together...

So we hung out at Candy Bar. A cafe/bar during the day which evolves into a sexy bar/club at night. Great place, really friendly bar chick, great mix of people, funky music. Great atmosphere.

I went here last year with Dean - we sat outside in the courtyard with a bottle of wine, then inside for a while absorbing the surroundings.

Dom and I stuck to a table right at the front in the window to ensure we got the best of both views - the people inside and the perve-fest of the passers by :o)

Dinner was at Kagu Ra Zaka on Toorak Road. The food here is amazing - among the best Japanese places I have been to.

Headed home about 8.30... cruised by a seriously cute asian boy on the train. He was with a friend, so his looks were kept very discrete... made the whole thing all the more exciting :o) Got out at Epping Station as well, but he disappeared with his friend, head down and as quick as possible... obviously was worried I was going to say something, or his friend was gonna catch him... ha ha ha. Oh well, it wouldn't have happened anyway, since having my mum at the station to pick me up (in her pyjama's too) would have put a dampener on the whole thing... :o)
