THE BEST CHIPS EVER!

June 17 2012 By melbournemamma 1 Comment

Hallelujah!  I’ve done it. I have found THE BEST CHIPS EVER!

 

Right here in Melbourne at my favourite new place to dine Lord of the Fries.

If you’re like me (Hello, my name is Tracey & I am a chipaholic) and you love hot chips, do yourself a favour and get down to Lord of the Fries NOW!!!!

 

Their chips are made right here in Melbourne from Aussie grown potatoes and come with a delicious array of homemade sauces. My favs are the Parisian (Aioli Garlic Mayo) and (Thai) Golden Satay Sauce. I’m planning on making my way through the list of 12 sauces (purely for research purposes, I swear).

 

Not only do LOTF make the best chips EVER but they also serve the tastiest vegetarian burgers in town. Yes, that’s right, I said vegetarian burgers. Their whole menu is vegetarian and they also cater for vegan, gluten free, halal and kosher.

 

For this vegetarian mamma, it’s like a dream come true. My issue now is deciding what to have with my fries;  a burger, a hot dog, onion rings, nuggets, potato cakes or chilli poppers.

My carnivorous husband is dying for me to take him to LOTF. So if you’re one of those (meat eaters) too, don’t think that you are not going to enjoy this place. The food is fabulous and your body (& taste buds) will thank you.

 

I went to the store in Brunswick St, Fitzroy but you can also find them at Chadstone, Chapel St, Elizabeth St, Flinders St & Melbourne Central.

Is it dinner time yet?

    As a vegetarian I love Lord of the Fries but actually, I think I know of a better chip.

    The Gasometre pub on Smith St (corner of Alexandra Pde) to my mind is the best chip in Melbourne. The must double fry them as the inside is soft and fluffy and the outside is deliciously crisp and crunchy.

    Plus the Gas has a very extensive vegan/gf menu. Hurrah!

Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright light Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright lights of Osaka. 
 
We loved wandering through its historic streets, discovering incredible temples and gardens, and experiencing the slower more traditional side of Japan. Every place we visited felt special and full of history.
 
While the boys headed off to the Samurai Ninja Museum for some action-packed fun, my daughter and I enjoyed making our own rings at a Japanese ring-making workshop. It was such and fun and unique experience to share together.
 
We also made a lunch stop at Nishiki Market – a must for food lovers! So many incredible sights and flavours to discover (and I may have developed a slight addiction to furikake… 🤭IYKYK).

In the evening we strolled through Gion and the Shirakawa Canal area before enjoying a delicious Thai dinner, which was a welcome change after so much amazing Japanese food.
 
Our Kyoto favourites:

A beautiful day filled with amazing memories.

It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we t It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we thought possible… and we absolutely loved it!
 
Nara was the perfect little escape from the energy of Osaka. It offered a beautiful mic of history, nature and culture. 

From wandering through Nara Park with the friendly (and very determined) deer to exploring ancient temples and peaceful gardens, it was a day full of unforgettable memories.
 
Our Nara favourites:
 
🦌 Nara Park
🛕 Kofukuji Temple
⛩️ Kasuga Taisha Shrine
🌳 Yoshikien Garden
🛍️ Higashimuki Shopping Street
 
A quick day trip but definitely one of our Japan highlights.

Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan ad Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan adventure. From the bright lights of Dotonbori and endless shopping to incredible food, temples, arcades and plenty of family laughs, this city delivered.
 
Our trip didn’t quite go to plan after Jetstar cancelled our flight, which meant we lost a day of our holiday 😟. It wasn’t the start we’d hoped for but we made the most of every moment we had.
 
The weather was hot and humid, but that didn’t stop us exploring this incredible city. We loved wandering through the neon streets of Dotonbori, shopping Shinsaibashi, exploring Den Den Town and taking in the beauty of Namba Yasaka Shrine and Osaka Castle.
 
And of course, the food did not disappoint! From delicious gyoza to incredible pizza (yes, pizza in Japan deserves a mention 🤤), cheesecake, egg sandwiches IYKYK, and everything in between, Osaka is a foodie’s dream.
 
Our Osaka favourites:

🦁 Namba Yasaka Shrine
🥟 @gyozaoh! Dotonbori
🏯 Osaka Castle
🎮 Den Den Town
🍕 @pizzeriadatigre
🛍️ Don Quijote
🏎️ @mr.hiro_carstudio
🍔 @kitan_hibiki
🍰 @rikuro1956 cheesecake
🐠 @kaiyukan_japan 
 
Would we have loved another day in Osaka? Absolutely. But even with one less day, it was packed with unforgettable memories.

Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sy Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sydney ✨

With Vivid lighting up the city every night, we’ve been treated to an incredible show from our apartment and around Darling Harbour 🌟

This spectacular light show was the perfect way to end the evening. Sydney really knows how to put on a show ❤️

Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and wow, what a ride.

I could not put this one down… ended up reading until 2:30 am to finish it! Such a clever, gripping story that keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Honestly, the entire Eddie Flynn series is fantastic. If you love fast-paced legal thrillers, these are absolute must-reads.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. 

Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. 

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. 

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. 

You’d be wrong.”
