Giraffe Cafe

Located at 302 Lt Lonsdale St, Giraffe Cafe is one of the cutest cafe in Melbourne. The interior design is very unique and you feel like as if you are at home having a little chit chat with your friends. The place is super cozy for hanging out and I recommend you to make a booking ahead before visiting.

Despite the cuteness of the cafe, you will certainly not be pleased with the food that they offer. Well, I could say that the pictures in the menu looks very appealing and will definitely make you drool. They offer mostly western foods such as lasagna, risotto, sandwiches and pastas. In my opinion, they tasteless. The presentation is simple, not much ingredients being used and not worth for its value.The price for lunch is $10 and $12 for dinner with the same menu. Here is some of the pictures taken.

Chicken lasagna 

Penne with cream and mushroom

(look at that, for $12 is really not worth it. You can barely taste the cream and i think they only used 1 small button mushroom for 1 served)

WELL, you can forget about this for now.. let's talk about the dessert... we were not satisfied with the main and we decided to try the dessert. We ordered Giraffe Cheesecake for share. Voila,,, it was Awesome!!!... The taste is definitely there. We love it very much.

The making of 'kue leker'

Bananas were on special last week. For $1.33, you could get a kilo of it. So, Daniel and I bought heaps of bananas.We were thinking to make various kind of banana desserts. One of them is 'Kue Leker'. I am not too sure what it is called in english. Here are some description of 'Kue Leker' to get you the idea of what it is. 

'Kue Leker' is usually eaten as a snacks during tea time in late afternoon or as a dessert. It taste and look like crepes. You can put filling as you desired. For instance, chocolate ceres, banana, strawberry, pandan or cheese just like crepes.

Friday night

went to Coconut house at Elizabeth St. The place is quite small and full with people waiting in lines to order their food. The food is not really good though. I only grade 5 out of 10. The price is standard around $8-$10.
