It's the best matcha latte that I have tasted so far !
Little Rouge is a small little cafe, that tucked in a small aisle, with greens around the window frame.
It only offers drinks and some simple cakes, where I will post their menu at the bottom.
Now, let me show you around the interior of the cafe.
They have put some nice photos on the wall as decorations and it really attracts my eyes.
The beautiful pictures of nature are always simply amazing.
The place is so small and packed.
Most of the people came here to chill and have their drinks and have quality time with their loved one.
The menu.
Matcha Latte.
The smooth milky texture, with a little bit of bitterness make me fall in love with it.
Their green tea flavour is really strong, with the top milk foam are what I always find attractive to the drink. It is the best Matcha latte that I can find in Melbourne.
When I thought that I will have to take away my drink, the waitress leads me to the back,
where there is a hidden room !
The room is relatively small and artistic as well.
Really love the environment, but what really bother me is that the cafe is too small.
If I came with a bunch of friends, we will have to take away our drinks and go to other place.
Like I always don't feel that I am good enough and I always do things that is not inspiring.
In fact, I always inspired by people around me.
I didn't know that I can inspire someone too.
When my friend told me that she wanted to start making videos too,
and it is because of me. I suddenly feel so touched.
Then only I realized that I also can inspire someone to start something new too.
I don't know that I have that kind of ability to influence someone until then.
People are always too scared to start something new.
They are scared of failure, hurt and scar.
Me too, I am scared.
The older we get, the less adventurous we will be.
We will think a lot of things, we will always consider
like
What if no one like my video?
What if someone judges me?
What if ...
Okay, I know I always say that I am scared about judgement and didn't find a solution for it.
But I think I really need a lot of courage to click the "share" button to my Facebook.
Probably, that will be my new resolution for 2017?
Who knows?
Inspire someone when you still can, instead of just keeping yourself successful.
Help others to accomplish something in their life too.
Always get inspire and be inspired.
Before that, sharing my friend's video over here.
( Update: I think she locked her video d 0.0)
Hey there, I know it is a little late to have Mannequin Challenge, as there is a lot of things gone viral in 2017. Mannequin Challenge is no longer a thing as it is already a passed.
In 2017, everyone is raving about the Trash Doves (purple bird), cash me outside how about that
and other meme videos.
BUT I really had a lot of fun with my relatives when shooting this videos !
This challenge was taken when we went back to our hometown during CNY.
I must say that it is pretty challenging when we were filming this and
we tried around 3 shots to get this perfect one.
I wanted to thank everyone, who's patient enough to make this challenge happened
and also my sister who filmed this !
One of our friends recommended this cafe to us.
So we went all the way to Hawthorn to have brunch together.
Howthorn is not very far from where we stayed but we always head to city for brunch.
Indeed, it was a decent experience exploring Hawthorn for the first time.
Now, let me show you what we have had in Axil Roaster Coffee :)
Steak
with poached eggs, cabbage and cider hollandaise
This was served specially only that day on their special menu.
The steak is well cooked, and the poached eggs were perfect, as the egg york flooded out once it's cut into half. My friend said that it is pleasantly good.
Potato Hash
with pulled pork, poached eggs, red cabbage, apple, mint and cider hollandaise ($21)
This is pretty good, but what is disappointing is that they have overcooked the poached egg and the cabbage is a bit bitter. It doesn't really matter to me because I am not a big fan of poached egg, but SK was really sad about this dish.
Lamb Ragu
with potato gnocchi, green olives, pistachio and ricotta insalata ($23)
Brian ordered this and he said it is extremely good.
So if you love to eat lamb, you can try this.
Salmon Pastrami
with grilled Polenta, beetroot, sauce gribiche, kohlrabi, fennel, cress and poached egg ($22)
I actually wanted to order this at the first place, but since my friend wanted this, I let him order.
I am a salmon lover, and I love any kind of salmon, whether it is raw salmon or fried salmon.
But my friend, who has a strong taste bud, exclaimed that it is salty, which make me didn't want to try it at all. I can't take salty stuff.
Pork Belly
with cauliflower puree, sauteed brussel sprouts, kale, agrodolce and chorizo crumble ($24)
Look at the pretty decoration ! According to the waitress, he said that the chef colored the cauliflower with some vinegar, making it to become purple and a sourish taste.
The pork belly is well fried, making the skin of it to be extremely crunchy. I even could hear the crunchiness when my friend was eating it with his mouth closed. That's ridiculous !
Latte ($4)
Another cafe in Melbourne that serves good coffee <3
After a few months, when we were shopping in Chadstone Mall, we found that Axil has already extended their store !
Since after that day, we went to Axil when we do not know what to eat in Chadstone.
Axil has been one of our frequent place to go for good food and nice coffee.
Rosemary and lemon crumbed Chicken Burger
with slaw, parmesan aioli, and sweet potato wedges.
The waitress recommended us this chicken burger as he said that this is his favourite dish of all.
And it's true ! SK and I enjoyed this so much that we keep complimenting it.
The chicken is so crispy and the bread is so soft and nice.
The pototo wedges is by far the best potato wedges <3
The Roaster's Breakfast
with poached eggs, bacon, pork cotechino, cheese croquette, thyme mushrooms, roasted tomato and relish on sourdough ($23.5)
Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Waffles
with hazelnut parfait, toasted hazelnuts, crushed wafer biscuits and gianduja chocolate curls ($19)
As a chocolate lover, I don't think that I can live without chocolate.
Ferrero is one of my all time favorite chocolate besides dark chocolate.
The choc is sweet and thick, with strong hazelnut taste ice-cream, they just fit perfectly well !
Red Velvet Pancake
with raspberries, black sesame ice cream, cream cheese ganache, and chocolate brownie soil ($19)
This is really good as well !
Love both of the dessert so much and surprisingly they're quite filling.
The sweetness in red velvet pancake with the sourness of berries and cream cheese, make this dish of dessert so good that I can't stop eating <3
So that's all for the food review, and if you are curious how the cafe looks like in Hawthorn, feel free to check out my video, The day I went to Axil for the first time <3
