Even though Toolangi is a smidge out of Melbourne proper, it is my pleasure to review the Toolangi Tavern and other small businesses around Victoria that will feel the hit of not only diminished customers because of the Victorian bushfires but also because of the coming winter months.

Today, the 25th of April, is ANZAC Day.

ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

ANZAC day is a public holiday celebrated by both Australia and New Zealand to commemorate the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One. The forces that fought soon came to be known as the ANZACs.

If you haven't been to the Atlanta Dogwood Festival this weekend, stop reading and head on over to Piedmont Park to enjoy this traditional right-of-passage into spring for Atlanta. This annual art and food market has returned to Piedmont Park after being displaced last year during our infamous drought.

If you're looking for a place that has atmosphere, televisions to watch the sport, a wide arrangement of beers and a mighty good feed, then you'd do well to stop by Mrs. Parma's.

There Are Actually Hawker Centers In Singapore Where You Get A Regular Dinner For Less Then 500 Dollar

A perfect place to meet surrounded by places to eat, right next to the SBS television building and the biggest free Wi-fi hotspot in Melbourne?

That’s Federation Square.

As you may have guessed by now, there’s not much I appreciate more when out and about than a good, traditional pub. For a long time now, Pugg Mahones has been a favourite stop of mine. But it wasn’t until recently that I was able to try the food and get the full Pugg experience.

The breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. In Singapore every meal is considered the most important meal of the day. So no wonder we find not mere bread, with jam and a bowl of cereals on the breakfast table, but a big range of "interesting" other varieties.

Melbourne is different than a lot of cities around the world – obviously it’s Australian - but also, it is unique even for Australia.

Melbourne is a city of variation, one where a visitor can find pockets of almost pure nationalities from around the world. In Carlton, just to the North-east of the city block, Italy rules and as one travels beyond the CBD (Central Business District) there are Asian areas, Greek, Turkish and many more. Something like 130 nationalities are represented here.

One of my favourite things about travelling is discovering new places – especially awesome pubs. I recently made a trip to Canberra, Australia’s capital, for a writer’s conference and found a pub with some of the best food I have ever tasted.

When server Adrian greeted my husband and me just as we walked into The Durham, we knew we had found a good place to settle down for a meal and a drink. The soft lighting and modern but comfy surroundings helped me settle in and relax after a long, hard day.
