Drive-by Eating: Lim's Hot Bread, Eastwood

You know those days when you just have to grab food on the run? Where you're walking while you're eating, trying not to spill random bits of a sandwich down your shirt? Those are the days that I call Drive-by eating, where the ol' grab-and-run is the order of the day.

I find that Vietnamese pork rolls are one of the best options for this: it's compact, flavourful, filling, and served in a paper bag that catches all the errant sandwich fall-outs.

Which is why I always find myself at my local bakery, en route to my weekly grocery shop.

Son-in-Law Eggs

But before that, the food.

I first visited Chi and Co as part of a Canley Height Food Crawl organised by Thang from Noodlies and the Fairfield City Council. We tried their signature tapas dishes - from pulled beef sliders to spanner crab on betel leaf - and were plied with expertly mixed cocktails.

So when they offered another chance to dine with them, I said

"HELLS YEAH!"

Naturally, when restaurants in Australia seem to thrive on variety - have you seen Asian restaurants with a menu as long as your arm? - I just had to find out how anyone has managed to specialise in a particular thing to such a degree.

Canley Heights Food Crawl, Part 1

I'm always envious when people talk about going on pub crawls, since I'm slightly allergic to alcohol - tasting is okay, drinking is apparently not. I always feel like I keep missing out on all the fun!! So when Thang from Noodlies organised a food crawl in Canley Heights with the Fairfield Council, I jumped at the chance!

6 restaurants in 3 hours, will we SURVIVE THE EATING????!!!! Well Thang, Jeroxie, Amy, Christine, Isaac, Kate and I were going to find out.
