Family Fun-day at Red Spice Road

March 28 2019 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

lunch at red spice road melbourne

Lunch with the kids has never tasted or looked SO GOOD! thanks to Family Fun-day at Red Spice Road.

Red Spice Road have dedicated a day for little ones every Saturday and they’re bringing back the fun (and reducing the stress) of a family outing with a special kids menu, a uniquely Red Spice colouring-in poster, face-painting from Jesstar Play Magick, and kids board games.

My little guy (although I should probably stop calling him that now that’s he is 9) and I were recently invited to Red Spice Road so we could join the fun and we had such a good time.

It’s a great opportunity for kids to have a fun and tasty day with Red Spice Road team; and one that the big kids will actually enjoy too!

First off, I have a confession to make – I’ve never actually been to Red Spice Road before #embarrassing, but it has been on my “must visit” list for so long, so I was thrilled to be invited along. I’m kicking myself now for not going sooner because the food was AHHH-MAZING!!!

The kids lunch is $15 and they can choose between Fish & Chips, Chicken Schnitzel with Asian Slaw Salad, Chargrilled Vegetable Salad with Sesame Dressing (vegan) or Mini Meatballs with Homemade Tomato Sauce. Lunch also includes soft drink and ice cream.

My son choose the chicken schnitzel for his lunch, but then sweet talked me in to ordering Red Spice Road’s signature Pork Belly dish and the Prawn Pad Thai (as part of my tasting menu), so he could try those as well. Somehow he even managed to squeeze in some freshly made icecream too. All were given an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

I couldn’t decide what appealed to me most, so I went with the Lunch Tasting Menu, which included serves of some of their most popular dishes. Red Spice Road can cater for all dietary needs, so they were easily able to substitute some of the dishes on the tasting menu to suit my vegetarian requirements.

I indulged in a vegetable curry (pretty much the yummiest curry I’ve EVER tasted), the most delicious tofu san choy bau (this dish was soooooo yummy – I’m sure even carnivores would like this one). For dessert I had Coconut Water Tapioca with Passionfruit Cream, Peanut Praline, Caramel Popcorn and Lychee Sorbet – OH. MY. YUMMY!!!

There are a stack of boardgames to keep everyone entertained (I’d forgotten how much fun Guess Who? can be – even when you lose), as well as facepainting and balloon creations.

My son was rather impressed with his arm “tattoo” and couldn’t wait to show it off for the rest of the day.

Family fun-day runs every Saturday from 12pm-3pm. Bookings are essential. For more info visit www.redspiceroad.com.

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.

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.

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.”
