crazy food combinations

A pre Christmas dinner with the hubby lead us to the quaint but pumping Senoritas. Surrounded by white and black classic interior with Red lace lighting was eye catching, but the art work was even more so. A dedication to the festival of the dead was a new way to embrace the Mexican cuisine. I had heard nothing but goodness so of course it made it to my forever growing list of places to wine and dine of which I thought would be the perfect send off to our Christmas festivities. Cocktails were on the go with a list that could pleasure any ones taste buds with my choice of the exquisite Horchata Gringo - smooth horchata combined with Mexican coffee and tequila is the new way everyone should drink iced coffees. If your a Tequila lover than you need not go any further. The selection is wide and will leave you at the bar for a great length of time. True Mexican at its best. So now that I'm set with my bevie, lets get down to the food shall we. Specials this evening was Ch...

Either way you choose wonder through the doors of David's you walk into a modern, soothing atmosphere. Smiles from welcoming staff nothing but a pleasant beginning to anyones dining experience.

Word has spread around Melbourne rather quickly about a place that serves divine thin crust pizza with fresh and delicious toppings. In fact it was said to be a must have pizza! To good for my ears to be hearing such things, I must find this place  Firechief Pizzeria is celebrating their first birthday and what a great opportunity to seize this moment and get my own taste.  With high ceilings and simple yet perfect outlay had a fantastic family, friendly feel. As the walk way takes you to the top of their dining area the enchanting chandelier hangs low setting a somewhat rustic feel. Tables overflowed with diners gorging in pizza and pasta and having a great time. An evening with friends and the beginning to the weekend the unwind began with a cocktail in hand. A fresh and berrylicious Little red ridding hood - strawberry liquor, blackcurrant and vodka was a delightful relaxant. Scannin...
