PENNY FARTHING ESPRESSO(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

SCAN TAG TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

Northcote is a faraway land in my books… but lately, I’ve been venturing

to this neck of the woods because I’ve noticed I’m starting to enjoy this

suburb more and more. I struggle with describing the cultural identity and

profiles of suburbs, but Northcote’s got a more relaxed vibe compared

with the more shi shi neighbourhoods of Collingwood and Fitzroy.

Most of us know about Penny Farthing as a brunch spot. They even roast

their own beans on-site. I haven’t been too keen on visiting because

Lachy and Fakegf have indicated that they weren’t as enthused with

their brunch experiences there. However, Lachy, whose tastebuds I trust,

did recommend I go there for dinner.

It’s a concept I’m thinking about more and more now. Brunch places

serving good dinner fare… is that possible? I know Auction Rooms has

branched out into dinner service, so has St Ali, Porgie + Mr Jones, and,

recently, the Duchess of Spotswood. There’s a mind-block that stops me

from even considering dining at what’s supposed to be a brunch spot.

I caught up with Superfly for dinner here. He lives locally but has

never stepped into Penny Farthing! Service was warm, relaxed and

genuinely friendly. The place was mostly empty that Friday evening,

but the few groups of diners who did wander in for a feed were,

according to Superfly, a very ‘Northcote crowd’.

Even though it was a freakishly cool and gloomy summer evening, we

took a table in the courtyard at the back, better lighting for me and less

noise echoes from other diners.

I’ll say it now, from first dish, that I like the flavours here. I can see where

Lachy was coming from when he recommended that I try dinner here.

The flavours are gentle, interesting and not ham-fisted with seasoning,

such that you can tell the ingredients apart. The scallops here were

cooked to a juicy perfection and they went wonderfully with the delicate

pea and sage puree.

I’m tempted to stop commenting about what I ate here and just show

you food porn pics of the rest of the dishes. Doubt any of you would

mind. With the rice flour crepes topped with duck, prosciutto & radicchio,

finished with pomegranate kernels [$16], I picked everything up like in a

wrap and ate it, way too quickly! Such tiny teaser portions were killing

ABOUT BRYANI’m an inquisitive foodie with an Asian palate. I love how food brings people together.

There is a story behind every meal and I’m constantly trying to find it. Please join my

Melbourne-based food journey and let’s get fat together.

THE FLAVOURS ARE GENTLE, INTERESTING AND NOT HAM-FISTED WITH SEASONING, SUCH THAT YOU CAN TELL THE INGREDIENTS APART. THE SCALLOPS HERE WERE COOKED TO A JUICY PERFECTION AND THEY WENT WONDERFULLY WITH THE DELICATE PEA AND SAGE PUREE.

me because I was actually starving that evening after having just fruit

for lunch!

Pork belly, when cooked well, is hard to not enjoy. Again, the pieces

were gone too quickly, and I liked what I tasted. But the shaved fennel

did taste a bit too vinegary for us. We found out too late that the lines

of gold sauce at the bottom of the plate were meant to be smeared and

eaten with the pork belly pieces, that would’ve given us the required

sweet counterpoint to balance out the salad’s tang.

Confit duck legs on orange and sweet potato mash, with beetroot relish

and a cardamon reduction [$22] – finally something more substantial!

The firm, flavoursome duck flesh went nicely with the sweet beetroot

relish. And that mild, almost lemony, orange and sweet potato mash had

such an uplifting zest to it that made the dish taste light and different.

The dish grew on me… I loved how such a heavy meat could be balanced

out with such delicate and light accompaniments.

Cinnamon poached apples with brioche crisps and vanilla ice cream

$9 – this dessert was a winner. It’s more or less a modern take on a

stewed apple crumble, and such a fresh and light alternative. For the first

time, I’m having a Western dessert that isn’t excessively sweet for my

tastebuds. Just deliciously perfect…!

My Melbourne food journey is often guided by my friends and their

recommendations. I’m grateful for that. I’ve learnt what foods each of my

friends prefer, and I know whose palates are closely synced with mine.

I’m glad I listened to Lachy and visited here for dinner. While Superfly did

not appear as impressed with the food here, I really enjoyed what I had.

I have to say though that the portions are on the small side for the price

you’re paying. We spent $55 each, including drinks and dessert, but I

left the place still a little peckish. So don’t visit here the way I did: with

a rumbling starving belly that can only be appeased with a fat slab of

steak. Visit here instead with the intent of discovering and enjoying

interesting flavours.

THE FIRM, FLAVOURSOME DUCK FLESH WENT NICELY WITH THE SWEET BEETROOT RELISH. AND THAT MILD, ALMOST LEMONY, ORANGE AND SWEET POTATO MASH HAD SUCH AN UPLIFTING ZEST TO IT THAT MADE THE DISH TASTE LIGHT AND DIFFERENT.

CINNAMON POACHED APPLES WITH BRIOCHE CRISPS AND VANILLA ICE CREAM $9 – THIS DESSERT WAS A WINNER. IT’S MORE OR LESS A MODERN TAKE ON A STEWED APPLE CRUMBLE.


IZAKAYA DEN(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

9


Cuisine: Japanese

Prices: $7 for sweet corn ‘kaki-age’ to $29 for Sher Wagyu Grade 7

porterhouse.

Izakaya Den has been open since late 2009 and was considered one of the

‘it’ restaurants in 2010. According to Urbanspoon, Izakaya Den is still one of

Melbourne’s most popular restaurants. Hungry diners will still queue for a

table despite the multitude of other dining options in the city. And hubby and

I have only tried it for the first time in 2012!

As you can tell from the places I eat out at (and also blog about), hubby and

I are not the type of people who flock to the newest and hottest restaurants

as soon as they open. It’s not like we purposely set out not to, but these ‘talk

of the town’ places are normally in the city or somewhere else where parking

is notoriously difficult. They do make it onto my list of places I want to try,

but that list is pretty long!

During the dinner service, Izakaya Den has a no bookings policy for groups

smaller than five (they do take bookings at lunch). Having learnt from our

experience at the no bookings Chin Chin, we decided to go early and beat

the post work drinks crowd on a Friday night.

I had heard that Izakaya Den was hard to find and it’s true! There is only one

small sign on Russell Street, and you have to walk down some stairs leading

towards a clothing store. Mid-way down the stairs, to your left, is a door

which will take you down more stairs to the restaurant.

Izakaya Den is aptly named, giving the feel of a secret den due to its basement

location and dark interior. The place is small and narrow, but gives the illusion

of a bigger space with the clever use of a floor to ceiling mirror at the back

wall. Hubby and I were seated at the bar in front of the open kitchen, where

we were shown the efficiency of the chefs preparing the food at their own

individual stations. Each chef was in charge of a couple of menu items and

would prepare four or five plates of the same dish at the same time.

Hubby and I started off the night with a drink. I got an umeshu (plum wine)

and hubby got a Boatrocker Alpha Queen beer which he has never seen

before. We were also served water in very cute cartoon glasses.

THE PLACE IS SMALL AND NARROW, BUT GIVES THE ILLUSION OF A BIGGER SPACE WITH THE CLEVER USE OF A FLOOR TO CEILING MIRROR AT THE BACK WALL. HUBBY AND I WERE SEATED AT THE BAR IN FRONT OF THE OPEN KITCHEN, WHERE WE WERE SHOWN THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CHEFS PREPARING THE FOOD AT THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL STATIONS.

I love the concept of Izakaya, where you get smaller portions so you get

to try more things. I did my research beforehand and came armed with a

list of things we should order. Izakaya Den made an appearance at Taste

of Melbourne 2010 and we got to try the sweet corn kaki age (essentially

fritters) as it was one of their three signature dishes. We loved it then and it

was just as good as I remembered, even better in fact, since it was straight

from the deep fryer onto our table.

Hubby has enjoyed sweetbreads ever since he first tried it at Eleven Madison

Park in New York and orders it whenever he sees it on the menu. Don’t be

fooled. Sweetbread is not sweet bread. It is the culinary name for the glands

of an animal, in this case, lamb! It has a subtle flavour compared to other

offal. This was on the specials menu.

Also on the specials menu was the tuna tartare. This dish really packs a

delicious flavour punch. Hubby and I were fighting over the last bits of the

tuna and we almost ordered a second serve it was that good.

Another dish practically everyone says to order is the Den fried chicken. Who

doesn’t like fried chicken? With Kewpie mayonnaise? Kewpie mayo makes

everything taste good! The chicken was fresh out of the deep fryer too and

had a tasty batter.

Wagyu beef is known for its luxurious, rich flavour and I had read that the

wagyu at Izakaya Den met that description. We must have lucked out because

our piece of wagyu was chewy and grainy. We were still wanting more food

and while what we really wanted was another plate of the fried chicken, we

thought we should try a different dish. We ended up ordering the duck liver

parfait with the crispy wonton skin. We should have gone the fried chicken!

It was a great idea having the duck liver parfait with the wonton skin, but I

didn’t like the grainy, dense texture of the parfait. To me, it should have been

lighter and smooth and creamy.

Overall: I think the menu is very reasonably priced and there is quite a lot

to choose from. Definitely worth a visit and I would return, but make sure

you either get there early or late. When we left at around 7.30, there must

have been about 30 people waiting for a table. You can order a drink and

something to eat while waiting though, you just won’t be seated at a table.

Recommended dishes: My favourite dish was the tuna tartare, but the

sweet corn kaki age and fried chicken are also must try dishes.

ALSO ON THE SPECIALS MENU WAS THE TUNA TARTARE. THIS DISH REALLY PACKS A DELICIOUS FLAVOUR PUNCH. HUBBY AND I WERE FIGHTING OVER THE LAST BITS OF THE TUNA AND WE ALMOST ORDERED A SECOND SERVE IT WAS THAT GOOD.

BABKA BAKERY CAFÉ(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

13


As you might have noticed this is one of several occasions where I have

ventured out on breakfast excursions solo. It is strange to say, quite

relaxing and facilitating for my food-photography practices.

Today (*ahem, I mean in November) I headed down to this little

café-bakery on Brunswick Street, long since etched in the heart of

Melbourne diners.

The crowded space with brunchers and waiters doesn’t leave much

room to sprawl out on a lazy morning. But who says one comes here for

the space? People flock here for the bakery items and café brunch. I for

one came to try the infamous lemon tart.

More often than not most cafés make terrible soy coffees, either using

poor quality soy or in the process of brewing they create a clumpy,

unpleasant one. Babka fits into a separate category, one among

my personal favourites for soy renditions in Melbourne. The brew is

smooth, with a mellow aroma of soy milk with a good balance of coffee

astringency.

I had a plate of artery clogging but ever so satisfying French toast. A

little bit crispy, a light dust of sugar, soft pillowy insides, a whole of a lot

of butter – and oh my gluttony…

Now I present to you the lemon tart. From the bottom up: moreish short

pastry base, velvety lemon custard with a distinct citrus acidity, brittle

crackle of brûlée, sprinkle of white fairy dust (aka sugar). The first few

bites leave a wonderfully lasting impression on the palate, but it is no

doubt sugar-coma inducing and not for the faint hearted.

The pear and custard tart would arguably have to be my preferred tart

of the two, despite its comparably mellow aromas. The juicy wedges of

poached pear – with its slight crunch – together with a cloud of heavenly

custard are absolutely plate-licking-worthy.

Rating: Yummy+1. Great soy coffee and unforgettable tarts!

Come early and in small groups. Please do not attempt the above 3

course degustation, you might die of a very high-sugar death.

ABOUT ALMOST ALWAYS RAVENOUSA 20 something year old Melbourne-born food lover, with the perpetual struggle of juggling his

life between a demanding day job, an insatiable appetite to eat and satisfy a fastidious palate, and

still find time to write a culinary journal and lead a somewhat normal life. More often than not, the

ravenous stomach prevails!

Oh Friends, I’ve had me a dreadful time in the kitchen lately. Away

from home and at home too. Maybe I was getting a little cocky with

my cooking ability? I mean, I know I can cook but I just don’t plan for

unmitigated disasters. Does this happen to you?

Anyway, feeling quite stale I went off with my friend Fiona this morning

to a little place called Pearl Oyster in Thornbury. Maybe a touch of

something fancy would shift me out of this funk that I’m in.

I arrived 45 minutes early and stood across the road for a few minutes

like a stalker; the place was empty. Are they even open? A punter went

in so I thought I better follow before someone called the police on me

for loitering.

As soon as I walked in, I regretted not bringing my slippers – this place

is so cosy! My kind of cosy, not taxidermied bear head cosy but lots of

knick knacks and pale old pictures that I’m sure the owners stole from

my five year-old-self’s bedroom. There must be new words for vintage

and retro that are floating about but I can’t think of any so you will just

have to trust me and my photos.

I don’t even remember drinking the first soy latte because it was only

my second of the day and my head was still wrecked, but I have vague

recollections of it being tremendous and efficiently delivered. By the

time Fiona arrived I had caffeined up but she hadn’t, so we sort of sat

in silence, occasionally grunting at each other until hers kicked in. Right

then, time to order the food.

The menus come in old school book sleeves, of which I swear I used to

have one (and probably still do – hoarder!). Don’t people come up with

the most simple yet excellent ideas? And when opened up, incredible

offerings of brekkie spilled forth – the best I have seen in a long time.

PEARL OYSTER 114 Miller Street, Thornbury. Ph: 9480 2500

ABOUT THE PINK LEOPARDThe Pink Leopard is an heroic, moral cat with pink fur and the manners of an English aristocrat. She

only becomes flustered or angry at obtuse or offensive humans who try to disrupt her existence, or

at troublesome gadgets, rodents, or insects. In most of her life, she stumbles into a difficult situation

and stoically endeavours to make the best of it. All the while cooking.

THE MENUS COME IN OLD SCHOOL BOOK SLEEVES, OF WHICH I SWEAR I USED TO HAVE ONE (AND PROBABLY STILL DO – HOARDER!). DON’T PEOPLE COME UP WITH THE MOST SIMPLE YET EXCELLENT IDEAS? AND WHEN OPENED UP INCREDIBLE OFFERINGS OF BREKKIE SPILLED FORTH – THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.

AS SOON AS I WALKED IN, I REGRETTED NOT BRINGING MY SLIPPERS – THIS PLACE IS SO COSY! MY KIND OF COSY, NOT TAXIDERMIED BEAR HEAD COSY BUT LOTS OF KNICK KNACKS AND PALE OLD PICTURES THAT I’M SURE THE OWNERS STOLE FROM MY FIVE YEAR-OLD-SELF’S BEDROOM.

I’ve spoken before at how crap I am at ordering food, and today was

no different. I just couldn’t decide. I aimed my mental dart at the

page and pegged it forward, landing on this: two poached eggs with

wilted spinach, house made hummus, dukkah and labne drizzled with

pomegranate molasses. Thank you Dart Gods. It was all dreamy but the

labne was ridiculous. How does one get something so damn creamy and

tangy all at once?

Fiona, bless her cotton ankle socks, is quite a challenge to go out with

for a meal, but when she asked for gluten-free, nut-free options, the

waitress (who looked like a fair haired Maggie Gyllenhaal, dare I say?)

didn’t bat an eyelid.

Fee had this: Gluten free toast with poached eggs, ‘spiced’ napoli sauce

(spices, not chilli) the pinkest prosciutto I have ever seen and a mound of

fluffy green rocket (roquette, arugula…). Fiona thanks the Dart Gods too.

They also have a great array of mueslis and other sweet fare – like French

toast with raspberry and pomegranate jewels, rose honey, double cream

and candied pistachios. I know right, DROOL. Because we were there for

almost two and half hours I was tempted to order again, but I had blurry

visions of my personal trainer making me lift a most hideous kettle bell

as punishment so thought better of it.

An extensive list of pizzas and rolls are on offer too for the trend-o lunch

crowd but we were there for breakfast business only. Pearl Oyster is on

the meatless Monday wagon too (google it), so that makes me smile and

I bet it makes you veggies and vegans smile too. 10 outta 10.

Open breakfast and lunch, 7 days a week.

PEARL OYSTER IS ON THE MEATLESS MONDAY WAGON TOO (GOOGLE IT), SO THAT MAKES ME SMILE AND I BET IT MAKES YOU VEGGIES AND VEGANS SMILE TOO. 10 OUTTA 10.

Visit www.badenpowellhotel.comDuring the first Good Beer Week in 2011, Crafty Curates saw The Crafty Pint take over the tap lists at The Royston and The Terminus for a weeklong showcase of beer styles from breweries across Australia. In 2012, we’re taking the concept one step further and have invited five Melbourne pubs to partner with brewers in Queensland, South Australia, WA, Tasmania and New South Wales to turn Melbourne into a Good Beer Week showcase of the best of Oz.

All five will be pouring beers from interstate brewers throughout the week, meaning you can drop in any time to see what’s brewing around Australia. Keep an eye out for chances to meet the brewers too – possibly even the chance to sit down with them for dinner.

For one week only, three of Victoria’s best microbreweries will be swapping a keg of their beers with each other! This one-off opportunity will allow people in their own corner of Victoria a rare chance to try all three beers on tap during this one special week by visiting any of the three breweries: Hargreaves Hill, Red Hill and Bridge Road.

Indulge yourself as we explore one of the Seven Deadly Sins on each night of Good Beer Week. We will be sampling beers from a different craft brewery each evening and laying out a spread of sinful treats that many would envy, including lustful chocolates, cheeses and other wicked antipasto. Don’t be a sloth or let your pride get in the way…head on down each night and kick start your night of beer and food gluttony. Even when we discover wrath, the tastings will be relaxed, the products sinful and remember greed is good.

So is the art in beer or should the beer be art? Anyone can enter - win prizes or auction your art. Whether you paint, draw, photograph or just build stuff out of beer cans, if it involves beer we want to see it! To enter, send us your work by May 1, 2012

Free Exhibition Opening 12TH May 7pm

Just when you start getting used to Victorian micro brewed beers some other state busts in and smacks out your taste buds with a serious flavour punch! Introducing the

‘Queensland Tap Takeover’ at Baden Powell Hotel! Five of the finest breweries in the north will be showcasing their unusual and outrageous concoctions for your perusal throughout the week! These guys are no strangers to the art of craft beer, so head down and be ready to drink! We will be also be hosting a BBQ night, tasting and competition with all five brewers! Date will be confirmed online.

The Tramway Hotel invites the breweries of South Australia to take over its taps for Good Beer Week for a showcase of beers from across the state. Run in conjunction with the girls at The Wheaty in Adelaide, it’s a great chance to sample what’s brewing over the border. Some of the brewers might even be popping in too, so keep an eye out for details...

Join The Rainbow for a tour of the breweries of New South Wales. Throughout Good Beer Week, we’ll be turning over our taps to beers from across the state. We’re also hosting an eight-course Beergustation dinner featuring NSW beers on Tuesday night – see the event listing elsewhere in the program.

What’s more, later in the week, you can combine good beer with great live music as our Great Beer, Cool Tunes program kicks in from Thursday to Sunday, featuring acts such as Ash Naylor and the Pheasant Pluckers.

The Great Northern Hotel has joined forces with the Western Australia Beer Association to bring Victorians a taste of the WA beer scene. We are liaising with the best breweries around Australia’s largest state to bring you beers that have never been seen before this side of the Nullarbor. Eighteen of our 20 taps will be taken over by WA breweries for the whole week, with Wednesday playing host to a ‘Meet the Brewers BBQ’ where you will be able to meet some of the great brewers that make your favourite beers.

Tasmania’s craft beer scene is one of the fastest growing and most colourful in Australia, with brewers carving out their own individual styles. Most of you will know Moo Brew, but there are plenty more whose beers rarely leave the isle, making their Good Beer Week appearance at the Courthouse Hotel a unique opportunity to see what’s happening down south.

Tassie brewers’ beers will be pouring all week at a pub that marries quality food, beer and wine like few others. Keep an eye out for a Meet The Brewers session and a spot of beer and cheese matching too.

GOOD BEER WEEK / MAY 12TH - 19TH 2012 GOOD BEER WEEK

Good Beer Week is delighted to announce the inaugural Masterclass of Champions. This truly unique Good Beer Week experience will see Nøgne Ø’s Kjetil Jikiun and Moylan’s founder Brendan Moylan come together for an up close and personal masterclass as they create a one-off beer especially for Good Beer Week.

The breweries are the 2010 and 2011 Australian International Beer Awards champions so it’s a great honour to be welcoming them both to Melbourne for Good Beer Week.

They will be hosted by Yarra Valley brewery Hargreaves Hill for the brew – and there is room for just 30 people to be there on the day for a masterclass, brew day and beer degustation rolled into one.

Learn all about the breweries and their beers, experience and sample this unique beer as it is brewed, and enjoy guided tastings of beers from the three breweries accompanied by top notch food.

Good Beer Week will provide transport to and from the event from Melbourne and will supply all guests with bottles of the beer once it’s ready to roll. It promises to be an intimate, one of a kind experience you’ll never forget in the company of true champions of the beer world.

To bring Good Beer Week to a close, we go back to where it all began. Mountain Goat was Melbourne’s first microbrewery and Richmond’s Great Britain Hotel was the first venue to put their Hightail Ale on tap. So where better to celebrate the end of Australia’s biggest ever celebration of good beer?

After eight days of dinners, showcases, masterclasses, tours and more, this is a chance to switch off and simply enjoy good beer in a good pub with good tunes and good times.

The 15 taps at the GB will be pouring awesome beer and the band room will be filled with comedy and music all night – all with the aim of giving you the perfect feelgood end to the week.

Keep an eye on the Good Beer Week website as well as our Twitter and Facebook accounts for details of the lineup (music and beer) as they’re announced.

See you there!

MONTALTO WINERY & RESTAURANT

(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

43


Montalto winery is a stunning multi-purpose venue that I’ve wanted to

visit for a long time now. I’ve stopped by a few times to look around the

winery but haven’t had the chance to dine at the winery restaurant or

café. I was fortunate enough to finally get to dine at the restaurant as

part of my Mornington Peninsula Food Tour courtesy of Q Strategies in

conjunction with Mornington Peninsula Tourism.

The winery is owned by John and Wendy Mitchell, whose love of the

vineyards they saw on holiday in Europe compelled them to buy and

nourish the Montalto vineyard. The winery does a huge range of wines,

with its Montalto Estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir winning many

awards. As well as wine, the famous olive oils are worth a try.

The dining at Montalto can range from high end, with the one hatted

restaurant, to casual dining in the Piazza Café, to the super casual

and unique dining experience of a fully catered picnic. I saw groups of

people having their picnic and I must say that I was really envious as it

looked like so much fun to sit amongst the lawns and plants and enjoy

great food.

While my friend Andy and I were wandering around the picnic grounds

and admiring the amazing view of the vineyards and setting sun, we also

got to look at the stunning pieces of sculptures that are currently on

display. Each year, artists can submit their sculptures to the competition

and the public can enjoy the works from February to April. The winning

sculpture will be permanently displayed at Montalto. My personal

favourite is the horse lying on its back, made of strips of metal.

After admiring all the sculptures, we were seated at our table where

the large glass windows meant we got the last rays of the setting sun.

Our waitress explained the menu while also suggesting a cuvee to start.

When we made our orders, a side of nice warm bread was served with

the Montalto olive oil, which was really good.

We started our meal with some entrées. The entrée of scallops was

excellent, with plump scallops perfectly accompanied by the peas and

mushroom foam. The terrine was rich and had good flavour. I loved the

pistachio butter that was served with it. Both wine matches went really

well and I particularly enjoyed the Rosé.

For mains, I was definite I wanted the lamb racks when I sighted them

on the menu. And boy did they live up to my expectations. The Flinders

lamb was some of the best flavoured lamb I have tasted. The meat was

also beautifully tender and I loved the jus and pumpkin mash served

with it. The duck, which I’m never the biggest fan of as it can taste

rather bland, had good flavour. The meat was cooked perfectly but it as

the accompanying sauce and puree that really lifted this dish.

While there were suggested wine pairings for the dishes, we asked to try

the award winning Pinot Noir. The wine was full of complexity and I loved

it. I can see why it’s won many awards.

For dessert, I chose the crème caramel, which I usually love but was

a bit hesitant due to the ginger as I’m not a fan of ginger. The final

result was a bit mixed for me. While the texture of the crème caramel

was great, I found that I didn’t like the ginger element, which isn’t the

restaurant’s fault. The lemon verbena added a really nice hint to the dish.

The meringue filled with ice cream was really refreshing and I loved the

fruit salsa and passionfruit curd served with it. The dessert wines were

both very sweet and good in small doses.

I can definitely see why Montalto has been awarded a hat in the Good

Food Guide. While the menu items may read similar to some other winery

restaurants, it’s the execution of the dish and small flavour touches here

and there that help lift the food to another wonderful level.

The service was very friendly on the night and I gauged that other diners

were very happy with their service too. The ambiance in the restaurant

is very relaxed and happy. I will definitely be coming back to Montalto

for future meals as I think the food is great in comparison to metro

restaurants, not just for a winery restaurant.

Overall Rating: 16/20, food executed really well with wonderful wines

and views of the vineyard.

MOphO NOOdlE bAR(DETAILS ON PG. 3)

47


So here we finally are, outside of MoPho Noodle Bar, nearly a year after

they opened to a resounding fan fare and trumpets!

Many things have happened in a year. Executive chef Ben Cooper who

opened this with the Godfather of Coffee (Salvatore Malatesta) is now

an executive chef at Chin Chin. Salvatore Malatesta has since opened

another exciting spot, My Mexican Cousin, but that’s another story for

another day.

I won’t dwell on how MoPho’s name was coined or who the big names

are associated with this place, as you can easily resolve that by doing a

quick and simple search on Google. What I will focus on is the quality of

the service and food we were served at MoPho. Quick and easy. Just like

MoPho’s concept.

When Ms Tinymouse, the Librarian, the Boy and I arrived at MoPho one

Friday night, the place was a tiny bit deserted. I was a bit concerned with

the lack of people, but Ms Tinymouse assured me that it’d be fine, and

the food would still be good regardless of the crowd.

As we sat and chin wagged, the boys perused the menu and hassled us

girls to quickly browse through the menu. However, our waitress kindly

offered to speed things up by asking for our preferences and informing

us of the specials MoPho was having that night, which was fried chicken

and lamb satay. Sold! I was completely sold the moment she opened her

mouth to utter, “Fried”.

And thus the special, fried chicken, arrived. It was tasty, succulent and

kind of reminded me of the crispy fried chicken we’d get from Pasar

Malam’s (Night Markets) in Malaysia. Delicious!

The other special: lamb satay with spicy peanut sauce was also quite

tasty. The peanut sauce wasn’t quite what I expected in terms of spiciness

and texture, but it was tasty all the same.

As I was trying to maintain some semblance of Paleo (#faileo), I ordered

the least carb sounding item on the menu.

I absolutely loved the Thin Rice Noodle, Grilled Pork Belly, Asian Herbs,

Sweet Fish Sauce, Tamarind and Scud Chilli ($15.50) and wanted to eat

more when I got to the last forkful.

The Boy went with the Hokkien Noodle, Slow Roast BBQ Pork, Oyster

Mushrooms, Broccoli Stem, Chilli and Garlic ($17.00) which he thought

was delicious but a little too sweet. The pork was the winner in that dish.

Ms Tinymouse went with the Pad Thai, Fried Tofu, Grilled Prawns, Bean

Shoots and Chilli Soy Peanuts ($18.50) which I insisted that she choose

by power of reverse psychology.

I had wanted to try it since I heard the raves on it. I thought it was tasty

and loved the incorporation of roasted peanuts, which is a must-have

when eating Pad Thai.

The Librarian decided to go all Anglo on us and ordered the Chow Mein

with Singapore Chow Mein Noodle ($17.50) even after all three of us

insisted that there weren’t such things in Asia as Chow Mein noodles or

Singapore Noodles. However, that being said, the noodles were quite

tasty when I tried it.

Service was quick, friendly and efficient with the food being what it

promised, inspired from South-East Asian flavours. They never claimed

authenticity, and the fusion-esque take on their cooking was truly

enjoyed by all at the table.

experiences and how I feel about the service, food and quality at the

On really hot summer nights, I love having a delicious cold salad for

dinner instead of a hot and heavy meal. It’s also good to not have to

slave away in the kitchen and sweat even more from cooking using the

hot stove. This recipe is an excellent Asian salad dish that is refreshing

and light, yet fulfilling. The flavours pack a good punch too. I always tend

to make extra sauce and a huge batch each time I make this salad – as

it stores well in the fridge for lunch the next day. I hope you enjoy this

recipe as much as I always do!

INGREDIENTS:

1 packet (250g) rice noodles

1 small packet of coleslaw mix

4-5 large limes, juice freshly squeezed

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

5 cloves of garlic

1 cup fresh bean shoots

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup loosely chopped fresh mint

1 cup loosely chopped fresh coriander

1 cup crushed peanuts

5 tbsp white sugar

5 tbsp fish sauce

Extra mint leaves to garnish

METHOD:

Using a pestle and mortar, pound the garlic with the coriander and

jalapeno peppers. Transfer the mixture into a bowl, add the lime juice,

fish sauce and sugar, stir well. Leave the sauce to sit for 10 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the rice noodles, boil

for 2 minutes, then drain well. Rinse the noodles with cold water then

drain well again.

Combine the noodles, coleslaw mix, bean shoots, cucumber, mint and

sauce in a large salad bowl. Toss well and serve salad garnished with

crushed peanuts and mint leaves.

PHI Chardonnay 2008

Yarra Valley, Victoria. RRP $46.00

Dear Patrick Hernandez,

You may have a really distinct (and admittedly annoying) way of saying the

word ‘born’, but it turns out that your lyrics to the famous ‘Born to be alive’

song rang true as I drank this wine.

Phi was born from the love of two families, the De Bortolis and Shelmerdines,

who wished to capture the spirit and elegance of the Lusatia Park vineyard

site in the cool hills of the upper Yarra Valley.

The meticulously kept vines have yielded grapes that require little

interference once they make their way to the winery. Basically, the result

is a wine that is ‘alive’. Alive in the sense that I have had the wine in my

glass for over three hours and it is still breathing, opening up, and each

time I go back for another look, I find myself smiling that something so

simple can give me so much pleasure. Yes, this is the power of wine and one

which keeps us wine nerds around the world delving deeper to discover its

true mystique.

Starting off quite tightly wound, the Phi Chardonnay eventually begins to

unravel with threads of lemon and verbena before unfurling itself further

with more luscious white nectarine notes and an array of meadow flowers.

Opulent in all the right places, the mid-palate is full with a restrained

buttery character that could never dominate because of the concise acidity

in its fruit.

A pleasure to drink and one of the few Yarra Valley Chardonnays that

demonstrate its unparalleled focus; a focus almost as powerful as a Patrick

Hernandez stare.

GAIA Assyrtiko ‘Wild Ferment’ 2010

Santorini Island, Greece. RRP $39.00

Greece is one big contradiction. They have beautiful landscapes, crystal

blue seas and an archaeologist’s dream of history. Yet they also have that

wee slight problem of an unstable economy. ‘Tis a shame because if there

is one agricultural aspect that could help in some small way to bring more

positive attention back into the Greek headlines, it could be this native

humble white grape. It is called Assyrtiko [Ah-Seer-Tee-Ko] and in this case

is grown on the picturesque setting of Santorini island. Been there? Gloat

all you want. I have not, but my elder sister has flashed enviable photos to

me of her basking on the edge of her hotel pool in Santorini, the islands and

Mediterranean Sea as her backdrop. Whatever. I’ll distract myself now by

talking about the wine.

This is the latest in a new direction for the GAIA estate, who have used

only the fruit from their Pyrgos vineyard and allowed it to undergo wild

fermentation (not adding any commercial yeasts) and then throwing it in

a mixture of new oak for five months for good measure afterwards. The

incredible characteristic about this grape and the reason why it flourishes

so well here is its ability to withstand the notorious European summer heat

and still produce this white wine with depth, verve and remain at 13.00%

alcohol. These are admirable qualities that are only enhanced by the other

aspects of a complex nose of orange peel, fennel seed and white smoke,

and a palate branching widely with a salty tang, a Vitamin C orange twist to

the finish, woodworker’s bench oak and slippery, silky texture.

This distinct white I tried was from the 2010 harvest, but look out for the

2011 vintage coming into the country in May.

HILBERG-PASQUERO Barbera d’Alba 2009

Roero, Piedmont, Italy. RRP $45

As all the most romantic stories go, it all began in a bean field.

A young Italian Michelangelo completed his agricultural degree and

wished to further his knowledge in organic farming, whilst a young German

Annette was seeking a job with creativity and travelled to Italy to satiate an

attraction to this newborn ecology movement. The rest, they say, is history,

as their paths finally crossed in a bean field in northern Italy. Together, their

passion for organic farming has led them to their vegetable- and animal-

laden property with a vineyard where they craft their Hilberg-Pasquero

wines in a tiny cellar in the town of Priocca in the Roero district.

I consumed this wine on my first visit to the Da Noi restaurant in Toorak.

On that serendipitous evening, I was not only delightfully confronted with

a brief appearance by the sylphlike figure of Ms Dita Von Teese, but also a

stunning vibrancy and the fresh scent of violets that were emanating from

my glass. The flavours strode a predominantly darker path of boiled red

lollies, black liquorice and blood plums with soft flushes of lilac roses. Apart

from a hint of earth and some black spice from the oak, the palate was

otherwise juicy, and complementary to a range of dishes throughout the

night.

This is a pure wine loaded with character, with Annette describing their

efforts as, “Polyhedral: with the fresh and musical personality of the Neo-

Latin branch, the precise, sharp and clear personality of the German

character and – why not? – also the typical and unique aspect of the

Piedmontese dialect.” She may not be able to say whether their wine speaks

more German or Italian, but it certainly unites their different temperaments

and has proven that this really was a destined romance after all.
