Attica!

it has been a while since I have posted
partly as im not at home anymore with a desktop and the laptop-to-desk-to-arm-to-chair-ratio is slightly off, so im not on much.

and also because photobucket has decided you need to pay to access your own images to be hosted on a website. bleh. =.=. top header of xmen disappeared for that reason.

anywho
tonight was a tick the item off the list night with no.34 restaurant in the world, Melbourne's very own Attica.

David took most of the photos which snaps a bit away from the experience (lewl take that as you wish). I prefer to DIG IN. But it was a fun night indeed. Esp the part of strolling out back to their garden where they grew everything that ended up on our plate. Definitely special.

And to walk past the kitchen and all the staff happy to be there and working away with genuine smiles. One even encouraged us to eat the strawberries from the garden =] You wouldn't be able to fake happiness if you work everyday and dish out the same menu. So that was definitely a pleasant sight to see.

What I loved was the authentic australian if not Melbourne involvement from the food to utensils to decor to lighting. Tributes to the local neighbourhood and its unique contribution to the lifestyle around there was spot on.

Worth a visit i'll say.
Gets interesting from the half way point.

in sum_
