Melbourne - Day 7 (Eastland)

We decided to stay at home and rest well before we fly back to Sydney the next day. Chyme worked from home today and in order not to disturbed her, we had our lunch at Eastland just 10 minutes walking distance (950m) from her house. We had Mexican food at Pacos Tacos. I ordered their set lunch comes with 2 tacos, salad and drink. My my partner on the other hand ordered quesadilla (toasted wheat tortilla filled with your choice of chicken, beef, pork, black beans or mushrooms with cheese, pico de gallo, picked onion, jalapenos and chipotle ali oli). I choose Carne (beef tacos) and pollo (chicken tacos). I preferred their chicken tacos because the chicken is tender and juicy. All tacos are done in a 6" soft shell corn tortilla and garnished with coriander and spring onions.

You may choose any two of the below tacos for your set lunch:
a) Carne - slow cooked beef brisket, chipotle salsa, pico de gallo and cactus
b) Pollo - BBQ chicken with lettuce, pickled onion and tomatillo chutney
c) Pescado - spice crumbed blue grenadier, pickled onion, carrot salad and chipotle ali oli
d) Calamar - crisp local calamari, lettuce, pico de gallo and jalapeno lime ali oli
e) Carnitas - 14 hour slow cooked pork shoulder filling, peanut mole, pineapple and kohlrabi
f) Frijoles - black beans, chipotle salsa, carrot, jalapeno, pickled onion and feta

We went back home after lunch and I helped Chyme to prepare for our dinner. She made us grilled chicken served with stir fried vegetables and fried egg. Instead of white rice we had mixed grain rice which is Ryan's favourite. It's soft and tasty. No wonder Ryan loves it so much. We have yet to eat our baby kugel bought from Monarch cake shop on Sunday. Finally we tried it but I don't really fancy it much. Maybe we shouldn't have keep it in the fridge for two days.

We did our final packing that night and bid goodbye to Chyme since we won't be seeing her when we woke up the next morning. Even though we didn't get to visit a lot of places in Melbourne, I had a great time catching up with my old buddy...
