Melbournian gal here! Being 20 years old is such a nothing-age,
similarly to when I turned 19. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be celebrated in
style. For my birthday this year I decided I wanted to do a few things with my
friends and family because, hey, why the heck not?! You only live once. My
birthday started with my boyfriend taking me out for breakfast to a lovely
little Greek café restaurant in Wantirna called Café Greco. The food was a
mix of contemporary Greek cuisine and your typical café breakfast.
It was superb and extremely filling, so we didn’t eat until later that night when we went to a
Restaurant called Rococo- 97 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn
Rococo is a very trendy restaurant and
bar that many people my age like to hang out at for cocktails and gourmet
Italian food. My girlfriends, boyfriends and I had a fabulous time
sipping on unique cocktails with rose-syrup and alcoholic fruit smoothies. We
had some amazing meals such as smoked salmon pizza and gnocchi al fungi in
celebration for my birthday. Since Rococo is a very classy, up-town place, I
thought it would be the perfect opportunity to debut my gold sequin Sportsgirl
jacket that my boyfriend kindly bought for me a couple of months back! I
am a sucker for anything gold and sparkly.
The next morning my dad woke me up bright and
early to take me to Laurent Patisserie in Balwyn, to select my birthday cake.
There were so many beautiful cakes, I could hardly decide. I decided on the
“Tarte aux Fruit de la Passion” cake; a passionfruit and raspberry tart cake.
Not only were there some spectacular looking cakes, but there were Macaroons. I
love Macaroons. This Patisserie is a little piece of heaven, and I highly
recommend it to all, even just for an afternoon coffee and cake with the
girls.
