Dinner

An Italian friend of mine had a make-your-own pizza night which was SO MUCH FUN!! He made 6kg worth of pizza dough and we all brought toppings to share around! The pizza we made had pesto, asparagus, capsicum, mushrooms and salami topped with mozzarella and crumbed feta! Mmm...

Gluten free pasta tossed in basil almond pesto, spinach topped with slithered almonds, fresh basil and shredded soy cheese. This was my second time at shakahari and they always amaze me with their super flavoursome vegetarian meals!! Healthy, delicious and good portioned dinner for sure! Since the price is slightly higher priced and old fashioned than the other hipster vego places around, the crowd is slightly older and definitely less noisy. Great place to catch up with friends since you can actually have a nice conversation without yelling to each other!

I looooove freshly hand made soba! I used to absolutely love this shop when it was in Queensland so I was extremely excited to hear that one of the grasshoppers from the original restaurant in Queensland decided to open a shop in Melbourne! I think once you try hand made soba, you can't go back to store bought ones! (Unless you're making something fusion like soba salad!) Compared to the original restaurant, there was room for improvement (e.g. the sauce was a little salty and the soba was slightly less flavoursome). But I was so excited to eat fresh hand made soba again! Would go back there anytime!

This was quite nice but I'm glad I shared this and raw spring rolls with a friend because this could potentially get a little boring on its own. Yummy though!

Fresh and yummy raw spring rolls but I think it's quite expensive for what you get??
