I don’t usually review places multiple times, but after a delicious birthday dinner at Smith & Daughters I thought it was only fair that I shared the love around! Plus, it was the first time I had been to Smith & Daughters for a full dinner so there’s lots of new food to discuss! (Also, you can find Part I & Part II by following the links if you like!)
Major Major opened at the southern end of Smith Street late in 2014 and I visited not long after for lunch with my family and we were all mightily impressed with the food. B and I decided it was about time we returned to try their breakfast offerings and I actually remembered to take my camera this time!
On one of the recent very hot Melbourne days B and I decided to avoid doing any cooking and try one of the new restaurants to open on Smith Street recently – Xeom Street Food. Xeom does Vietnamese street food and the restaurant is brightly lit and welcoming. The walls are lined with jars, bottles and faux-propaganda posters and there are even a couple of tables set up like little carts.
After enjoying using all the products I got when I tried Native Box back in June I decided it was time to treat myself again and ordered the January Native Box! It promptly arrived a few days after they reopened for the year and I’m pretty happy with what I found inside!
Back in June I used the list Pip from Meet Me At Mikes created to take stock of the first half of 2014, so as the year rolls to a close I decided it was a good time to do it all again! So here we have it, my 2014 End of Year Stocktake! If you want to see Pip’s original post you can find it here.
