Sunday

As promised!

My mum and I booked into Mama Baba for lunch today; on Sundays they do a Greco Roman yum cha, with the menu changing every week. For $40 you get four courses of Greek and/or Italian inspired food.

The restaurant is tucked in a little street off Chapel St in South Yarra, and it's a gorgeous space. Nice and open, the staff are really friendly, and kids and babies are welcome.

We had lots of yummy things, including olives, proscuitto, ricotta, and a variety of pastas (including this one with chicken, lemon and thyme).

Dessert was a very yum chocolate semifredo and some italian style donuts (which were so good I forgot to take a pic!)

After lunch we popped into Burch & Purchese (which you will have heard of if you watch Masterchef; I recognised the chef in the kitchen). So many yummy cakes to choose from!

We walked away with a couple of things for later, a Passionfruit cloud and a chocolate ginger cake.
