Two friends met up in Oakleigh with the goal to try found restaurants and fooderies and see just why people are calling Oakleigh the 'Gastronomical Centre of the South-Eastern Suburbs'!

Tasting Melbourne – D.O.C Lygon Street, Carlton
A great place for a quick lunch in very pleasant surrounds on Lygon street, Carlton, Melbourne!
Tasting Mornington – Kirk’s on the Esplanade
Today I am reviewing a place I ate at in November on my way down the Mornington Peninsula, Kirk’s on the Esplanade. It’s a hotel which is quite expanded with several rooms for dining. But how were the meals in this typical Australian menu type place?
The ‘McDonald’s’ Test
It's hard to find a country without a McDonald's these days. How do they differ in taste, price and what they offer around the world?
Tasting Melbourne – Time Out Bar, Federation Square
Time Out is at Federation Square in the middle of town and is a great place for a meal in wonderful surrounds. Check out my review!
Tasting Japan – Some of my Japanese Favorites!
Japan is a country famous for its food. With so many options and different names, what exactly can you expect to eat when you are in Japan?
Tasting Turkmenistan
What can you expect travelling in Turkmenistan as far as food is concerned? Well, it’s still Central Asia and so the staples that are popular elsewhere in the region are as always easy enough to find. If you fancy plov, shashlik or some sort of dumplings, you’ll be well looked after in Turkmenistan. Here’s a rough summary for you of the places I ate at and the things I ate.
Tasting Sri Lanka – Galle
Today I walk through Galle's fort area and talk about some of the places I ate there and how I found the dining there!
Tasting Uzbekistan – Samarkand and Khiva
Time to turn your tastebuds Central Asia way again, this time taking them to the sandy country of Uzbekistan. I spent three says in sunny Uzbekistan last year only, it was a quick zip through the country from Tajikistan to Turkmenistan, but I did eat out a couple of times so hopefully I can give you a bit of a recommendation as to the places I visited – Samarkand and Khiva.
Tasting Porto – Port and Black Pudding?
Today we are heading to Portugal’s ‘second city’, the enigmatic, alluring and gastronomically pleasing Porto. This destination is not only the home of Port Wine, or as you may know it, simply ‘Port’, but actually it’s a place that I really enjoyed eating out.
