After a great day out, J and I booked an early dinner at Port Phillip Estate in Red Hill South on the Mornington Peninsula.
J and I had ourselves a bit of an impromptu day trip last weekend. We left the house at 9am and didn’t get home until 9:30 that night.
Despite loving Japanese food, J and I hadn’t yet got to our local Japanese restuarant, despite living in our new suburb for over a year. This was finally rectified when we organised to meet up with two other couples there for dinner on a Saturday night.
After reading my post on Petaling Street, my friend Panda commented “I’m going to have to take you to Sambal Kampung one day – lovely, lovely Malaysian – and not too oily.” As luck would have it, we were scheduled to catch up the following week along with another friend, EB.
Vermont Thai is on the corner of Burwood Highway and Hanover road, just near the Vermont South shopping centre. I meet my friend JK there for an early dinner one Monday night.
Anyone walking into the deceptively named Tea Rooms of Yarck looking for a nice cup o’ tea and a scone might be a little surprised. There may have once been scones on the menu, but now it is a two-hatted Italian restaurant, owned by Pietro Porcu who also owns Da Noi in South Yarra.
