Kelp noodles are something I've always wanted to try! The food looks very good, I'd have loved to try something from the menu there as well! And the street arts are amazing! :)<br /><br />PS.

I think there is quite a bit of raw in some recipes but I am often not confident enough to say a recipe is all raw.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36803001479139934962013-05-15T22:44:39.808+10:002013-05-15T22:44:39.808+10:00I haven't embraced the raw food trend either m...I haven't embraced the raw food trend either mostly because I like my food hot, especially at this time of year.

Did the Hawaiian pizza have any pineapple on it..? There is SO MUCH alfalfa there - this would totally disgruntle my other half, as he believes it's nothing more than grass. That I pay for. ;) Love all the street are pics, too :)Appetite Afflictionhttp://www.appetiteaffliction.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-90147431181694312532013-05-15T14:06:29.953+10:002013-05-15T14:06:29.953+10:00I want to go here.

I smiled at your experience with the raw cheesecake as it confirms my own experiences of not liking regular cheesecake but (usually) liking the raw variety - especially when they're chocolate because then I do think it is just like chocolate mousse!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62861646037200809182013-05-15T07:56:26.861+10:002013-05-15T07:56:26.861+10:00great pictures!

When I walk around taking photos and looking at stuff I feel such a love for Melbourne, I lived overseas for a few years and shortly after arriving home I was out at night walking through the city. That's when I realised how truly awesome my home town is :)<br /><br />I want to go back to Yongs as well too, your meal looks delicious!Veganopouloushttp://veganopoulous.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36960667445462711132013-05-14T22:40:31.858+10:002013-05-14T22:40:31.858+10:00Way to go on trying something new.

I never try to compare them to cooked foods since it isn't the same... the nut-based pad thais always through me for a loop. This is not pad thai! But then again, neither is the pizza, or cheese, or cheesecake. ;)<br /><br />The question now is whether you will try raw foods at home? :)janet @ the taste spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139453817267734357noreply@blogger.com
