Laurent Bakery

Ultra sweet (but I guess all meringues are always too sweet). 7/10.

Dinner at Ocha, 3 Church St, Hawthorn

Soba. 6.5/10.

Gyoza. Not bad but too salty! 7/10.

Scallop with Japanese hollandaise sauce. Again, too salty. 7/10.

Spicy calamari salad. I don't know why it's called 'spicy' as we couldn't taste any spice at all. 6.5/10.

Grilled eggplant with miso. Nice but super salty! 6.5/10.

Mirin chicken with salad. This was probably the worst dish. 5/10.

Overall, this place was really overrated. Good food guide gave it 15/20! I reckon it should be 12/20.

Cakes at Gânache, 250 Toorak Rd, South Yarra

Both the pear caramel and choc mousse cakes were absolutely fantastic.
Probably one of the best cakes I've eaten.

9.5/10! :)

Service was top-notch! Highly recommend this place. Will revisit!

The best homemade tiramisu in the world! :D~

1) S ordered the hot and sour soup with acacia omelette. I tasted a

2) I ordered the tom yum soup with prawns only. Very authentic! But
not for those can't take spicy foods, cos it was super spicy. 8/10.

Combination seafood balls. 8/10.
