Gado Gado at Hula Grill

December 30, 2008

I just rated Hula Grill great for gado gado at Docoloco.

I was so sick of resort food (fries, burgers and other stodge) when I saw gado gado on the menu at Hula Grill. I got mine with rare ahi tuna on top. An absolute sensation!

I just rated Perkins and Grey great for lunch with kids at Docoloco.

We always stop by for a lazy lunch. If the wether is good you can’t beat a table in the garden.

I just told everyone over at Docoloco that you can get Jamiseon Brewery beer on tap at Jamiseon Brewery.

I said Not Sold Here.

“Beast” India Pale Ale, Raspberry Ale, Brown Ale and pale Ale make weekends at Jamo just that little bit better. I never seem to have any left to take home though.

I just told everyone over at Docoloco that you can get Jamiseon Brewery beer on tap at The gem bar and dining room.

I said Not Sold Here.

Jamieson “Beast” India Pale Ale. And it’s good.

I just rated Barleycorn Brewery great for brewing your own beer at Docoloco.

A micro brewery which provides everything you need to brew your own beer on site. They have a book full of recipes and all the ingredients you’ll need. I’ve now got 50L of something which they tell me will taste like my favourite Californian microbrew. Another few weeks and I’ll go bottle it up.

A great way to spend an afternoon with a few friends.

Baby Stuff at Parenthood

April 22, 2008

I just rated Parenthood great for baby stuff at Docoloco.

Picked up some of gifts for our friends (who are expecting twin boys – that makes it 4 for 4). This place reminds me a lot of Pottery Barn for Kids in the US.

I just rated The Greenery Garden Centre great for garden supplies at Docoloco.

My favourite garden centre in Melbourne. You can even get coffee and bbq out the front on weekends which is always a good thing. Great plants and great staff.

I just rated The Cuckoo Restaurant great for Lederhosen & accordian entertainment at Docoloco..

Once overheard at the cuckoo – “these boiled eggs in my lederhosen are making my pockets hot”.

I just rated Natural Direction great for renovations at Docoloco..

These guys say they specialize in “environmentally responsible design and construction: building houses that are energy efficient, with techniques and materials that are environmentally sustainable”. They’ve just completed a *major* job for us and we can’t speak highly enough of them.

We’d heard so many horror stories about builders but James and Wendy really looked after us and went above and beyond on more than one occasion.

I just rated Ande Bunbury Architects great for renovations at Docoloco..

Ande has just completed a major job on our house in Clifton Hill. We love it! She has guided us well and helped us pay proper attention to the details that matter to us.
