Last weekend, twitterverse was abuzz with the hash tag #tasteofmelbourne.

A friend came to town recently for a visit and there was no way I was passing up having a meal with her to catch up and hear her news once more. We usually visit 1228 Tea House back in the days, but this time we decided to change it around a bit [...]
