In South Australia FUIC Rules
This iced coffee cocktail is legendary in SA. It is part of the daily routine for many. Having one to start the day at smoko or at lunch to power you on through out the day. I can tell you this is true as I am one of the legions of screaming FUIC fans. Don’t believe me then check out the 827 strong following on facebook!
Back in ‘02 FUIC was Australia’s largest selling flavoured milk with a consumption of over 27 million Read the rest of this entry »
Back on the 10th of April 2008, ‘cat poo coffee’ hit the streets of London. Selling for £50 a cup they are made from a blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain and the rare Kopi Luwak bean.
Cat Coffee - An Explanation
Kopi Luwak beans are eaten and shat out by the Indonesian Civet Cat. Civets live in coffee plantations across South East Asia. They have a taste for ripe quality coffee berries.
The coffee cats digestive system utilises enzymes to break down the flesh of the fruit before the animals expels the bean. Workers collect beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them.
Who Ate Shit Beans First?

After much hype from friends, coworkers, my spouse and family I have finally given in to the pinnacle of sweetwares -the original glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut. I have to agree to the experience resembling ‘eating a cloud’. They are sweet, melt in your mouth and go down extremely well.
I’ve managed to hold out this long due to lack of nearby store locations. My weakness was the fact a bloke at work brought some in for a fundraiser. I figured ‘Hey it’s for charity‘ and starting mindlessly munching. Read the rest of this entry »

Happy 25th Birthday Anthony!
We celebrated the quarter century milestone with a table of fourteen at Cafe Salsa near West Beach. The home style Italian cuisine was served up in an relaxed outdoor setting. The Mediterranean style building featured large glassed doors and an outdoor covered dining area surrounded by palm trees. They have a sizable selection of wines with our final choice being the Tempranillo. For starters we had the garlic flat bread followed by the Kangaroo fillet with my partner ordering the linguine with cockles and mussels. Read the rest of this entry »

Leroys is pumping out the brunchs at 11AM. It is nearly packed. Phew its hot where is my mango frappe! This place is so cool. Gig posters span the walls in all directions. Young crew serve great food - ciabattas with pesto, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon are delicious. Going for a stroll through the shops of Acland St then to the beach of St Kilda.
Just having a seat at Leroys. A nice mango frappe, muesli and yoghart, chillin with the missus. It is moments like this I won’t ever forget.
As you do when you’re an out-of-towner in Melbourne casually walking along a dark narrow lane at night we stumbled into something significant. To escape the frantic pace of federation square after the new year of 2008 clicked over we wandered into ‘the opium den’. Little known to us it had been voted New Bar of the Year 2006 and Australia’s Bar of the Year 2007! The Golden Monkey certainly lives up to the title with my girl and I enjoying ourselves immensely.
