For dinner, my friends decided to bring us to this place called Camberwell just a few train stops from the city. Being a stranger in this bustling city, I willingly followed and to my joy we were up to something really cheap which is not stingy on serving and taste. We went to Sofia’s which had plenty of seats yet they were all occupied. Seeing the menu, I had absolutely no problem understanding the patrons choice. The Lee family calls it C & G which simply stands for cheap and good! True enough it really was!! But if you are looking for something more authentic this might not be for you.
After failing to finish just these three ala carte dishes plus another pizza, we were curious to try what seems to be a popular dessert, and I only can describe it as an abomination of ice creams.
By the end of the night, we were all filled and happy to go home. But the only problem was public transport on a Sunday night is not a good good night :(! Bloody trains were so infrequent and believe it or not, we took the wrong train ahah. So in the end, what was meant to be a 20 minute trip ended up being a 90 minute journey xD! Still a pleasant night and with the bill only costing us 88 bucks for 8 people, I have no complaints :D!! An eating place for bargain hunters to keep in mind!!!

See the froth and get weak on your knees. This is the thickest froth I have ever had in Melbourne. And oh god it was sooo satisfying!! I cannot help but mention how important this layer of froth is in hot drinks. Been to places that serves hot drinks with an almost non-existent layer of froth and that really shows how passionate they are about being a barrister. With no froth, it feels as if the milk came from a microwave. Mart 130 serves the best classic hot chocolate in Melbourne. For me at least! :D!! Even Max Brenner’s creative Malteser copy cat is no match ahah.
My brekkie pick. Corn fritters with crispy bacon streaks serve with drizzles of relish and a serve of sour cream. Hope I got that right. I’ll soon elaborate more about this very fancy looking piece of edible art.
lil girl’s poached eggs on sourdough with avocado mash and crispy bacon with hollandaise sauce. I would have personally chosen this as my favourite after trying all the food we ordered. The eggs felt slightly overcooked as the yolk did not turn out to be as runny as I would have preferred. Bacon streaks were crisp and slightly charred, just the way I like it. And amazingly this platter of eggs, mash, bacon and bread turned out to be a whole lot more filling that I thought it would be. Lil girl was overloaded.
Kelvin’s set was somewhat similar to XL with the exception of the avocado mash and bacon. Instead, Kelvin had chorizos and olives cooked in what looked like an Italian herb tomato sauce. The chorizos were yummy mummy but the olives were.. urgh @.@! No olives thanks :D! 
Ok peeps, this is the supposedly yummy oven baked corn fritters that my good ol buddy Yobi told me about. And really, it is not only him that I’m getting this input from. Bloggers love this dish from Mart 130. The reception for this dish has been particularly impressive on that day as well. I saw most if not all tables of 3 or more having at least 1 of it. But for me unfortunately, I did not see a dish that reflected what I liked. Firstly having said fritters, I was expecting something more airy and crispy. So crispy that I initially thought that an additional set of eggs and bread was needed to make me full. But instead, these were more of corn cakes heavily loaded with flour and corn which equally congested my digestive system. The taste of corn was not lacking in any way which is good for corn lovers. I like corn in a way that is buttered and done up through a grill in any flavour. Nandos is one that I enjoy thoroughly. But this one here just did not make the mark. Maybe next time just a little crispier? I finished last in this breakfast race. :'(
Hot Chocolate with Crunchy Waffle Balls! One of the more delicious drinks at Max Brenner. These crunchy Maltesers wannabe that floats so noticeably on the froth melts in the creamy hot chocolate before settling with a crunch in your mouth! 1 word, lovely!!
Malteser wannabe on macro mode!
Om nom nom nom! Best source of Vitamin C for unhealthy kids. Banana bread, strawberries and banana slices dipped in chocolate. Both dark and milk are good sources of antioxidant. Excuses to enjoy :D!
Marshmallows and banana bread. The banana bread does not taste good by itself though. Its only nice when dipped in chocolate. The spongy marshmallows were the typical off the shelve hypermarket ones.
Fruit bowl!! I think more assortments would be delicious but the standard strawberries and bananas do well too!
The extra serve of strawberries for the baby girl. A definite win. Liked her smile that came with the strawberries hehe.
