Eating Out in South Yarra

While it has been a while since I have written about food in South Yarra.

Well we have found our Favourite restaurant. It is called Little India and it just around the corner from us. Indian food just the way we like it. Hot but not that hot it burns the throat. The flavours are fantastic. We go there at least once a month as it’s not to expensive either. Cost about $100 bucks to feed 6 Adult and that includes the drinks.

Across the road we have Nando and Crepe heaven. Nando’s for spicy Chicken on the Run. Crepe heaven for breakfast on a Saturday morning, or late at night, when you feel like you want to be just the two of you.. Crepe heaven has an old English pub atmosphere to it.

Just up the road is Soda Rock Café. It’s designed to be just like a 1950’s ice parlour in the USA. Great hamburgers and ice cream treats. Stephan Loves going there. Just around the corner from the we have the Golden Dragon restaurant. This place is not the most flashest place on earth but you have to queue to get in as the food is fantastic. Pays to go with a group so you can get lots of little specialist dishes to feast upon. Just two doors down from there, you have Grab-a-Thai. They serve fast Thai takeaways. No fish and chips there, just great real Thai food. Then next dorr you have Subways and then the Kabab Store. This place has all the middle eastern stuff. Again Great food.

Tonight we are heading the other direction. Will it be Greek or Spanish or Yum Cha tonight at Toorak. The one thing you know about this area. You don’t have to be rich to eat great food. Just let your nose do the walking.

Hinton Ampner - A Garden with a House

Hinton Ampner is a house in East Sussex that we decide to visit to get out into the country side and check out a garden Their was a beautiful productive garden that was in need of a lot of work. But a church view while you work. dreams are made of this. 100 year old apple trees in the gardens. The church was built in the 1700's But the windows are obviously newer. Their were formal gardens Rose gardens But it was the productive gardens that got the attention of the tourists. We stopped for lunch at the usual National Trust Cafe Jennifer got her usual scones and clotted cream, while I enjoyed a stew. The walks were pleasant and enjoyable. The house was a mixed house, it was a old Georgian house that the owner had modernized in the 1860's, then a fire in 1960 pull a whole new twist to it. Once inside we found the house was actually small and the NT is restoring the upstairs. The dining room was put on display. The

Quarry Bank Mill's, Styal

Quarry Bank's Mill is a Cotton mill that helps start the Industrial Revolution. So first we went through the house where child works would live. The tour guide was all dressed up and knew her stuff answering any question that was given to her. The house is where 90 children would live. The factory is one that evolved over 200 hundred years from a flour mill to cotton mill Once inside we got to see the process for making cotton. With some of the looms still able to run. Two were running to meet the demand of the National Trust Shops they supplied. These were the small ones produce cotton about 1 yard wide. The Bobbin setter was for the line threading of the fabric. The is the Bobbin roller with cotton thread on it. In this room upto60 looms would have been going, non-stop. This is the end result of the carding machines. The mile in its prime would produce 30 miles on Cotton Fabric every day. The Large Factory was first built h
