Brunch & Co's Festive travels update

Well here we are in steamy Singapore - it's nice to be back after 3 weeks of Christmas & New Year fueled indulgence & overdoses of my Mum's amazing home cooking.  Added to these, my attempt to visit as many awesome Melbourne cafes as possible (my list of must-visit cafes kept on growing) has lead to us having had quite a bit of excess baggage to deal with - not just the suitcase variety!!

Looking through photos of our trip back to Australia, I thought I would share with you some of the pictures that literally made my mouth water, a bit of food porn if you will!  My new year's gift to all of you - please enjoy at your leisure!

So as you can deduce, our tummies are now a tad on the "bulgie" side, albeit very happy & well fed!

We're looking forward to cooking up a storm in 2013 with lots of fun & exciting events planned - stay tuned on our blog events page and/or "Like" us on Facebook to be the first to hear what's happening.

Hope to see you all at Brunch & Co soon!  Happy New Year!
