Excellent! The more the merrier.

Looking forward to meeting you Maryr1oz.

Looks like we're getting the band back together. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I'll wait till FairyFloss gets back from her US trip and send out PM's for where to meet. But yes, looks like a nice get-together for the Melbourne Dis-sers.

I wish!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Catch y'all tomorrow.

 

[FireflyFi]

There were people at SXS today handing out edible pamphlets advertising Emporium's food court. Lucky I already know the food tastes better than that sample!

See you tomorrow

Hi Guys,

Sad to say i'm not going to make it tonight - i've got a headache that will just not let up. This is quite possibly my own fault as i've spent most of the day stressing out over how much i have to do in the next week before my trip.

Anyway, i hope you all have a lovely night, and enjoy yourselves!

I also saw those edible flyers at Southern Cross yesterday... I'm sure the real thing is much more interesting

Hope your headache cleared up and that you're feeling better. Your countdown is looking really exciting and I hope you don't get too stressed in the lead-up.


Sorry you couldn't make it. Maybe next time.

Sorry you couldn't make it mary1oz. Hope to see you next time

The June 2014 DisMeet (Melbourne Chapter) - Freaky Friday




It was time for another Melbourne DisMeet and our chosen location was the foodcourt up in the new Emporium on Lonsdale Street.







The places to eat here aren't your standard run-of-the-mill fast food places. The Emporium management deliberately wanted restaurant quality fast food; and despite what might seem to be an oxymoron, I think they might have achieved their aim.

Chinta Ria, the restaurant chain owned by Simon Goh, has opened up a branch here. One of us got the Roti Chanai with the Char Kaoy Teow.







I think I'm going to have to try this CKT next time I'm here.







Guzman y Gomez is one of those fast food Mexican Taquerias opening up across the country. A branch opened up right here at the Emporium. One of us ordered an enchilada.







It was pretty popular with the Melbourne Dis-sers present. One of us got the soft shell Taco.







From all accounts, the Mexican Cola was nice enough.







Better yet! GyG offers adult drinks. This would be the Latin Lemonade.








They don't sell their alcoholic slushies without food purchase. So, someone had to purchase the corn chips from GyG in order to get the Sangria.








That someone was eating Japanese. I think this was from the Sushi Hon store.







There was another Japanese food lover present. They ordered an udon dish.








My dish was from the I Love Pho shop. I got the beef and yet more beef balls Pho.








And after dinner, we remembered to capture the official record of the DisMeet.









We adjourned to the Cacao Lab for an indulgence. I didn't capture everyone's order as I was too busy focussing on my tea.








....or was that the amazing chocolate brownie?







I did manage a shot of the iced chocolate??








I completely missed the hot chocolate indulgences on the other side of the table and also the macaroons.





We had a great night and talked about life and work and family. The conversation also covered up-coming trips and trips completed. Sadly, we did try to view pictures from a recently completed trip but the technology failed us.



Great night, as always, Melbourne.


Here's to next month!

 

[WanderlustNZ]

What a gorgeous pic of the 5 of you!

I so wish I could have joined you all. Maybe one day next year.

The Asian dishes look delicious. That Udon soup and the GKT look particularly yummy.

... And the alcoholic lemonade.

Next year Wanderlust

The alcoholic lemonade was delicious, but next time I think I'll try the CKT with PIO

And PIO for the record, that was a chocolate milkshake. Yummy too I will have to remember that place to take Mum to when she's over next.

 

[Caroline NZ]

Another one who wishes she could have been then too, looks like you had a great night

 

[WanderlustNZ]

Next year Wanderlust

Remind me again when Melbourne is getting The Lion King? Maybe I should tie my Dismeet in with that
