Food has happened.

I'm getting lazier and lazier with posts... I guess giant posts with a huge amount of food in it are how it's gonna be from now on cause posting more regularly is never going to happen.

So, behold some of the past months noms!

Firstly, Berrissimo is the greatest place on earth. I'm not even a big sweet tooth and I still find myself dreaming of it. Here is raspberry tart with chocolate mousse and coconut. Below is Chocolate mousse with NUTELLA, chocolate truffle balls and chocolate golden roughs. OH MY GOD VEGAN HEAVEN.

The Trinity Bakehouse in Flemington is deliciously close to work and serves two types of vegan bahn mi! Chilli lemongrass tofu (BEST) and vegan ham. $5.50 and awesome.

Karly made Chinese 5 spice seiten one time, it was amazing.

Las Vegan chocolate banana brownies as big as your head for my birthday picnic :)

Veggie Bar salads with mum for my birthday. I got marinated tofu which is confusingly tasty and mum got crispy brown rice balls with satay. Side of chips was completely unnecessary as these are the biggest salads on earth but it was MY BIRTHDAY and I demanded chips.

Picnic times in my new giant backyard. I made my usual, famous sausage rolls, which are usually inhaled within about 3-3.5 minutes. Karly made my favourite Mexican salad!

Miranda made a lemon butter cake and Tess made double chocolate cheesecake. Double the delicious.

One day I got lunch from Fruits of Passion near work. Pretty epic roast veggie and pesto turkish roll with chips, naturally. This was delicious and surprisingly cheap (roll was about $7/$9 and was massive)... again, chips unnecessary (but necessary).

Winter was an excuse to eat this as often as possible. Fry's country chicken and mushroom pies with mash, greens and onion gravy.

The weekend before my diet started... made 120 dumplings! These never get any less delicious.

Indian feast from the most delicious Indian place in Brunswick West - Tandoor n Spices. This place does not look like much and has limited dining in space/atmosphere but YES it serves up the yummiest food.

Toor dal, can't ever not get it.

Giant plate of onion bhaji, crispy delights.

Rice.

Vegetable pilaf rice and garlic wholemeal roti.

Potato and pea curry.

Aloo tikki. Potato cakes stuffed with spiced lentils and deep fried... with tamarind sauce - YUM.

We had an eight day adventure in Tasmania earlier this month! It was pretty awesome. We mostly did camp cooking (burgers, shrooms and beans breakfast, packet curries with rice and greens etc.) but a few times we ate out like fancy people!

Only one lousy picture of delicious Buddha Thai in Launceston. I am enjoying a fantastic pad see ew and Jeff got a red curry with rice.

MoMo Bubble Tea and Coffee House in Hobart was a good mock meat haven. This BBQ duck was INSANELY tasty. We went twice and possibly ordered the same thing...

Soy burger with chips.

These BBQ shiitake ribs were other worldy... I could have eaten about 99 of them. How do they make mushrooms taste like smokey sticky heaven? I don't know but you need to eat them, now.

The biggest win of Tassie eating was Garden of Vegan in Launceston. WOW this place was special, and beautiful. They have a set daily menu that worked out very well for us! It was a freezing wet day and laksa was on the menu!

Chai lattes (on crockery from my childhood!)

Cold sesame noodle dish which Nia thoroughly enjoyed.

Tea.

Most wholesome and delicious laksa I've ever eaten. Everything tasted really healthy and nutritious and good for you. Anyone who can make laksa feel like that is a winner. I didn't even feel greasy afterwards!

Raw cheesecake and truffle for dessert, naturally.

Foodz of late.

More of the favorites, some new places and home cooked things too - it's all happening over here.

Cornish wins. Crispy duck BLT, chicken Hawaiian pizza and chicken and bacon burger.

A Minor Place - creamy henry's beans, toast with avo and shrooms and quesadilla.

This mint chocolate is available from the Brunswick IGA and is actual crack. Also available in strawberry, orange and lemon, it's dairy-free, $1.69 and completely addictive.

I made dumplings, they are ugly and DELICIOUS.

Work lunches are always healthy and tasty. This day was spiced lentil and chickpea patties with salad. I would have had them the night before with steamed veggies.

Work night stir-fry. Tofu with every vegetable in the produce section drowned in chilli and soy.

Karly says this was the "BEST VEGAN CINNAMON BUN IN THE WORLD!" from Mr Nice Guy.

Awkward car lunch. Store-bought felafel with salad and delicious Shuki and Louisa hummus.

Tried a raw lunch from Shokuiku in Northcote. Salad plate with three salads and tart was $10 and damn tasty. Raw cakes afterwards were equally NOM. Guilt-free desserts FTW.

My favorite dish from my favorite Thai place - black pepper garlic tofu from Kao Thai. Man this dish is seriously DELICIOUS. Only down side is that it's a small serve for the price. This means I only get it once every few months instead of once a week like my old Thai place.

Went to see what all the fuss was about at Shop Ramen. It's true - the vegan cashew milk ramen was tasty. I wasn't in love but it felt wholesome and warm. Smoked tofu bun was a winner but only two mouthfuls large and a bit overpriced.

Considering I've almost made my way through the entire Veggie Bar menu it wasn't a surprise that I hadn't tried a salad until recently. Salad, blah. THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED. This house salad was fantastic and I've dreamt of it many times since. In fact, I'm going there today for it! Fresh salad leaves covered in raw and baked veggies, crispy marinated tofu logs of dreams covered in some sort of magic brown dressing... it's special.

We were on south side for a movie the other night. We go to south side about twice a year and usually end up at Veg Out Time. Veg Out Time was closed, forever, we were lost and confused. Luckily I was feeling junky and we were walking distance from Mr Natural. Enter - garlic cheese pizza and pepperoni/everything pizza. Best wholemeal bases!

Dining out adventures.

Yep so my friend from the north has been down for a week... cue epic binge eating nom fest. Have hardly stepped inside my kitchen for days but MAN life has been tasty. I tend to stick to the favorites but they're favorites for a reason damn it. Below are the reasons you will find me at the gym before the sun is up, every day, from now on.

Yep, as per almost every weekend, I was involved with Las Vegan. Sadness descended after I spent the whole car ride talking about how AMAZE the pepperoni calzones with chips are to find out they're a lunch time thing... I LIKE PEPPERONI CALZONES WITH CHIPS FOR BREAKFAST and I'm not ashamed. Anyways sadness was dulled with fantastic big breakfast (olive sourdough, house beans, shrooms, avo and TEMPACON). Karly got the breakfast burrito which is basically everything I ate but rolled up. Naturally we needed to share a serve of sour cherry pancakes also. For $9, I can't not.

Fig slice from Wide Open Road - you're doing it right.

Sunday night was a pretty epic fail. It ended okay but the stars did not align the way I'd planned. I was super pumped to show my friend the wonders of Munsterhaus as it was basically invented for her. They were closed. On to Veggie Bar, always a sure thing. Actually a one hour wait = no. Alright, Yong it is, I guess they ARE delicious. Oh you're randomly closed for renovations tonight Yong? WELL STUFF YOU! Feeling quite devo at this point, we walked down to Madame K which I'd heard mixed reviews of. Food was said to be good but it's a bit expensive. Reviews were correct, food was okay, prices were high. Next time I'm hoping Munsterhaus, Veggie Bar or Yong will feed me.

Behold the mouthgasms of Cornish. Chicken, bacon and cheese burger with chips, eggplant chips with vegan mayo, insane cripsy duck BLT of Jeff's dreams and finished off with THE BEST COOKIES AND CREAM CHEESECAKE with icecream!

Wonderbao vego pack - $8 WIN. Veggie BBQ bun, open style crispy tofu bun and sweet bean bun. Wonderbao are reliably perfect.

Laksa King, naturally. Vegan laksa soup with rice noodles, bok choy, broccoli, shrooms, eggplant, squash, snow peas, fried onions and tofu puffs!

A Minor Place is Wide Open Road's little sister cafe and I like her WAY MORE. Better vegan options and so many less dollars needed. This amazing breakfast of sourdough, rocket, avo and white beans with dukkah is only $13 and I need it every day of my life. Wide Open Road only offer one hot dish and it's closer to $17 - dislike.

I refuse to let a single interstate vegan guest leave without faceplanting into Berrissimo's chocolate mousse frozen yoghurt. Fresh strawberries and coconut on top = correct.
