Especially the traditional potato tortilla. Haven't had any in ages - and you're right it's more of an egg cake than the Mexican flat pancake tortilla. Shame this one was underseasoned though. :(<br /><br />xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-73503765812472060322011-12-08T23:55:07.997+11:002011-12-08T23:55:07.997+11:00imasugarjunkie: I like Aqui for groups especially ...imasugarjunkie: I like Aqui for groups especially because of the paella, but I figure if you're dining for two (or one!), the original can't be beat!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514864095216388371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-78828883267760731242011-12-08T19:55:58.159+11:002011-12-08T19:55:58.159+11:00I finally had my first Movida experience the other...I finally had my first Movida experience the other day and the food was AMAZING!

I actually don't mind as much that they ask me for recommendations, but I really DON'T like it that people are just extra aware and self-conscious when they're eating with me just cause they know I'm a "food blogger"! They're always so worried that it might "displease" me omg. I actually don't mind food as much! That's why I totally try not to have any say and make ppl feel as comfortable, relax and just order whatever they like! <br /><br />Anyway, glad to read your review of this place. Walked past this place too many times so glad to know I can try this out someday too. I recommend lotsa diff places depending on the cuisine they want. Hope to cover them all one by one in the future on my blog haha =]Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536704297054335614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-9831476399769577042011-11-30T00:24:25.378+11:002011-11-30T00:24:25.378+11:00Thank you.

It's been in Melbourne for almost 12 years, turning out consistently good food. Sure, it's expensive - it's a 2 hatter - but the food is mind blowingly good (crab dumplings in a tom kha broth, pork hock in chilli caramel - both OMG dishes), and the service is sublime. It also has the benefit of being one of those famously subterranean Melbourne restaurants, with a hard to find entrance. An amazing place for a splurge in Melbourne.Helen Siddelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-60622457908967022862011-11-28T00:28:16.640+11:002011-11-28T00:28:16.640+11:00three bags full. :) it's a cafe and if you'...three bags full. :) it's a cafe and if you're not a coffee person, you'll love tea. if you're neither, you can always have water. there are sandwiches, breakfast food, wraps etc. it's hard to get it wrong... it's a 'safe' sort of place. :D<br /><br />for me, i will be happy to be asked for recommendations but i think the ask-ee has to be very SPECIFIC about what they wantMichelle Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011334364444806975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-79844251326476615712011-11-27T21:18:49.938+11:002011-11-27T21:18:49.938+11:00Kev: Yes totally do that!

The places I want to visit or love eating at don't suit everyone's tastes. <br /><br />And now you've asked me for my one recommendation and my mind is a total blank. Eeek! Ummm... I probably recommend Cumulus Inc the most - it's very "Melbourne", not that expensive (tho admittedly it's not cheap), and I really like the food there.Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682199058521082342noreply@blogger.com
