The noodles were good (but so slow) - and frankly not good enough for me to return in a hurry. <br /><br />Jetsetting JoyceJetsetting Joyce (MEL: HOT OR NOT)http://www.melhotornot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-38455180559838106362008-12-01T00:19:00.000+11:002008-12-01T00:19:00.000+11:00Cindy, I hear ya.

Is it okay to stickybeak in there?<BR/><BR/>Yo bunches - yes, I remember almost running into you one evening in Bourke Street outside my building. Do you work regularly in that part of town? If so, you have my condolences...<BR/><BR/>Hi Vee, thanks for your kind words! I haven't been to Tempura Hajime, outrageous I know. Like the look of your new blog - link provided! :)<BR/><BR/>No worries Lucy - you are providing me with an equally long list of must visit fabulous design studios and boutiques. I'm still lusting after that bedspread at Spaceworks!<BR/><BR/>Johanna there are other dishes with an emphasis on the vegetables rather than the faux meat, if you prefer...<BR/><BR/>Why hello there Miss T. I have not had these dumplings in soup you speak of (how could any compare to our beloved chilli oil dumplings in Chinatown?!). For our next Ladies Who Lunch lunch we should forgo Cafe Vue and visit the Buddhist Temple together (unless the December lunchbox is TOTES fabulous, of course)... xx<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you're a fan of the tea too, Jodes! It's the thing I look forward to most when I'm going there.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-49370476177302299802008-11-26T14:17:00.000+11:002008-11-26T14:17:00.000+11:00I love the Buddhist Temple!

It's nothing very exciting - it is what it purports to be, plus two slices of spamlike mystery vegetarian meat. It has become my new comfort food now that I can no longer duck over to Garage for soto ayam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-9135877482332924682008-11-26T13:58:00.000+11:002008-11-26T13:58:00.000+11:00this looks like a jewel in the wasteland - what an...this looks like a jewel in the wasteland - what an amazing room - and the food looks interesting too (but perhaps a little too much faux meat)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-9280428285415448532008-11-26T12:11:00.000+11:002008-11-26T12:11:00.000+11:00oooh you know all the secrets spots!
