In Melbourne. Here to participate in a “Training of Trainers” workshop organized by The McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer to develop capacity-building programs for government officials towards strengthening their national legal frameworks on NCD risk factors.

DINNER

The Village is an English-style traditional social club. Comprises a handful of structures and facilities, all within the same compound. The Bistro, offering modern Australian English fare, is a pub.

The McCabe Centre graciously invited the participants of the workshop to dinner at The Village, located a few blocks away.

6+ Marble Score Wagyu Rump (3.0): don’t know what possessed me to order another steak after 3 consecutive dinners consisting of various grilled animal.

The food was quite good overall.

One standout dish was the fried cauliflower. No apparent coating or breading, just deep-fried and lightly seasoned, topped with deep-fried coriander and fresh chopped chilies. The texture was awesome: crispy on the outside, firm yet tender on the inside – the best cauliflower that I’ve ever experienced. Perfection.

HOTEL

Though I’d chosen my accommodation based solely on its proximity to the McCabe Centre, where the workshop is being held, Tolarno Hotel turned out to be an excellent choice for food, situated right smack in the middle of the St Kilda bar/restaurant district, a couple blocks to St Kilda Station in one direction and to St Kilda Beach in the other.
