Not so much places I have eaten but places I would LIKE to eat.....
Mee Wah - STILL havent made it there, despite driving past it nearly every day
The new Cafe Rita was talking about in South Hobart
Kuzina at the old Casablanca site.
I want to go back to Smolt - the couple of times I have eaten there (once for dinner once for Breakky) it was GOOOD!.
Hobart really has a dearth of good middle priced places to eat. They are either resonable price and not so good food, or slightly more expensive and decent food. I am a student on a budget here (most of the time!). The exceptions to this is Split Cafe in Moonah and Kawasemi Tea House - also in Moonah. Chain places dont really do it for me.
Is there anywhere in Hobart that does a good takeaway fried rice? If so please tell me, I am desperate here for something that has a nice mix of meat and vegies in it but is not greasy or oily or horribly expensive (yes I am looking at YOU Shanghai Bund and Royal Thai).
Had a late breakfast at Express Cafe this morning with a friend of mine. You know you go to a place too often when you dont have to order your coffee, the barasita just asks you do you want the usual. Mind you I didnt have coffee this morning but went for the Hot Lemon to try to tame this cold - which while not yet in my ears has taken a liking to my sinuses. Had GF toast and bacon, which once I nicked A.G.'s maple Syrup from her french toast was really good. I just wish that GF bread would TOAST properly. It stays untoasted for so long and then promptly burns in the 2 seconds that you turn your back. I do like Express, they are quite happy to keep me supplied with coffee while I sit at a table editing chapters of the thesis that never seems to end.
Am off to Montys on the 26th for the cheese degustation - I hope I have my taste buds back before then. Why cant we have a deli like the Mill down here? Wursthaus just isnt the same....
Can someone please explain coco nibs to me? I dont GET them. Bought some the other day on the ravings of a friend, but they do absolutely NOTHING for me, and I LIKE my chocolate.
Had a bowl of wedges at the Casino the other night before the David Campbell concert. Nice, but boring. The "snack" menu at Pier One is bad - chips, wedges, tasting plate and I think thats about it. We were supposed to go to Onba for cocktails before hand but due to a wardrobe crisis on my part went straight to the Casino....NEVER again.
Ok, thats probably scared BOTH of my regular readers off......so I'll go back to staring at my computer trying to work out the refence list from hades.

Hey you sound so miserable Tassiegal.
My Nellie & Mr Nellie went to Onba for some 'quality couples time' on Sunday while Rita babysat.
Nellie was not happy. Said only other table there was a family group of 3 generations, trying to have meaningful brekky dialogue together, while staff listened to mega-loud 'thrash' music (which totally destroyed any Sunday morning ambience in the restaurant, and which possibly would have sounded way more appropriate played on the evening before) and loudly talked about what they did after work last night!
Not so much miserable Rita as throughly grumpy and over tired!
Onba I have found is rather hit and miss - hit and its GREAT, miss and you keep looking for the guys from candid camera.
Never done breaky there, I guess one day Stephen and I will, but for now you will find me upstairs in the back corner with a mocktail and 2 good friends gossiping!
Sunday morning ambulance more like, Rita.
My Sabbath ambience is often two headache tablets and guzzling water and tea by the bucketload to counter the Saturday rock and roll aftermath.
How can you people even contemplate going OUT for breakfast/brunch?
Hey Tassiegal - what happened at your Monty's cheese feast the other night? How did it go?
Come on! Get your arese into gear and tell us all about it! We need to live vicariously through you!!!
