NOW OPEN PHAMILY KITCHEN OPENED: January 15 This place is blue. Like a smurf-exploded-all-over-the-place, kind of blue! But what Phamily Kitchen also is, (other than blue), is really darn good Vietnamese. Owner Michael Pham, says the eccentric colour scheme was designed to pay homage to classic Vietnamese kitchens. It seems that was the bill for the food too. Serving traditional dishes such as bún, pho, rice paper rolls, Phamily Kitchen is one to try in 2015. 374 SMITH STREET COLLINGWOOD phamilykitchen.com.au

POP UP SCROLL OPENED: November 2015 Pop Up Scroll is Melbourne’s first scroll boutique. Serving up freshly baked scrolls made on site each morning alongside carefully prepared ‘Coffee Supreme’ coffee.

As the name suggests, Pop Up Scroll is only around for a short time (until May to be precise) but there are already big plans in the pipeline for the next project due to open straight after the pop up closes its doors.

MICE 2015

We first met Kiril and Josefin, the masterminds behind Mörk Chocolate, at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo in 2014. Having been on the cafe scene since 2012, their presence at the expo was simply incredible. With a line of people six to ten deep for the entire four days of MICE14, watching these two in action (our booth was located directly opposite) was something to behold, and we knew that team Mörk were ones to watch. It seems, we were correct.

The Melbourne International Coffee Expo is on again in 2015, but Santa has come early...and so has the expo. To ensure this years’ expo aligned with the World Barista Championship (taking place in Seattle, Washington from 9 - 12 April), MICE15 will grace Melbourne’s Showgrounds from March 13 - 15.

playing host to the ever popular Mexican fare.

Since MICE14 Kiril and Josefin have cemented themselves as regulars on the Melbourne cafe scene, serving up arguably the best hot chocolate around. Following on from an impressive 2014 which included collaborations with Rooftop Honey and Mountain Goat Beer, these two are setting up shop in North Melbourne.

As a result of exhibitor feedback, MICE Show Director Clint Hendry has also announced the 2015 expo will run for three days. The show will still operate with two trade days and the final day open to the public.

The expo will play host in 2015 to the ASCA National Coffee Championships, the MICE2015 Cocktail Party, Let’s Talk Coffee Australia, the RASV’s Australian International Coffee Awards and is this year an official event of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

Building is underway for Mörk’s first (yes we’re getting in early to say they’ll be more!) concept store. The Mörk shop and Chocolate Brew Bar is set to launch in late February.

MICE is the ‘can’t miss’ event for industry folk and coffee lovers alike. Pre-purchase tickets for both trade and public are now available online.

YOTAM I H G N E L OTTO WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY IRON CHEF SHELLIE

As part of Good Food Month, highly respected chef, Yotam Ottolenghi was in town. Promoting his new book, and attending a series of events, Iron Chef Shellie was lucky enough to score a quick interview with the main man.

You’ve been in Australia for a little bit now, you’ve been nonstop, have you had a chance to actually relax and discover any cool hot spots?

Yesterday I went to a few nice places: I went to Supernormal, and had a beautiful… what did I have there that really blew me away?

They had pork rolls that were really delicious and then I went to a cute place called Nora, it’s completely new. They do these really funky tarts. I had a pumpkin one, with a black crust, they make using charcoal. You need to go, they are really lovely and they mill their own flour in the back, that was a little find. And where else, I went to Pei Modern last night, it’s not a find, but I had a great food, it was delicious. The asparagus with smoked eggs, oh it was to die for.

Heston’s bringing Fat Duck to Melbourne, would you follow in his footsteps and bring Ottolenghi or Nopi to Melbourne or Sydney?

I don’t know, maybe. I’ve changed my tune over the last week.

I started off by saying no way it’s never going to happen and now, at day six or seven, I’m thinking maybe, it’s quite nice here, so we’ll see. So far I’ve been saying no, it’s too difficult, it’s too complicated, it’s not for me.

But there’s a maybe there, so we will win you over in a bit.

At the moment, I’m slightly less extreme no, but we are still not sure about it.

I have been inspired a lot by the cooks of California; Alice Waters, Debra Madison; all these people who are vegetable focused but they also have this integrity with the vegetable, unlike some French cooks. You know, the kind of cook who shi* out out of their food!

Sorry, excuse my language! Those are the people that inspire me.

EATING OUT MELBOURNE

SLATER ST BENCH 8/431 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne. Ph: 0488 331 669

WORDS ADVANCED FOOD FALCONRY PHOTOGRAPHY NOEL SMYTH

Slater St. Bench has poached a number of quality baristas in the last few months. They are the German football team of the cafe world. I’ve seen some of the staff before, although I had to look up their names, Frank, Pat, Jared and Josh.

Opening up on the corner of St. Kilda Rd and Slater Street, it’s a coffee stop for businessman taking a break from doing business. Directly opposite and in fact everywhere around are rows and rows of offices, and just behind on Slater Street there is a park. So if you were a businessman that went for walks and coffee then it just keeps getting better.

I got there at about 9 on a Friday (on weekends they rest) and it was relatively busy. They’ve clearly catered for corporation CEO’s, because the inside is somewhat clinical. Everything is logical and clean. If Ron Dennis were here, he would slate (yep) them for the dust on the newspaper rack. I should imagine everyone that comes here in the morning is called Ron Dennis, wearing bluetooth ear pieces.

But yes, there is a bench, then there is a coffee bar for sitting, and one for standing as well. And that’s about it. It’s all very clean and minimalist, so bauhaus.

Considering the size, this is a good thing, because any more decorations would create clutter in such a small space. It’s a high-quality coffee bar that aims to be a modernist. So look beyond the perfect geometric shapes towards the impressive Mahlkonig grinder, beautiful La Marzocco with custom bronze plating, and a few other Mazzer grinders for when perfection isn’t quite enough. Walter Gropius would be proud.

Nowhere else in close proximity takes coffee as seriously.

Considering Slater does filter, it was always going to be considered one of the best. The turnover rate is quite high, catering primarily for takeaways or a quickie in your ten minutes of R’n’R. There is an air of urgency in everyone, you could take out a laptop if you wanted to get a little work done, but there are other places for lounging around.

16

Because Jared is involved in the running of Clement Coffee, they use a variety of single origin and blends from them. The froth on the first coffee I had was dense, so that was disappointing.

Actually no, that’s the wrong word. I’m never disappointed, that emotion is reserved for people who don’t think ahead. For a Ron Dennis who marries a blonde 22 year old stick and comes home to find her in bed with the postman. He’s disappointed in her. He’s also disappointed when his business goes under. But he did a deal with an Irishman. What can you expect?

Since disappointment is for the ignorant, I was nonchalant when I had to endure a slightly unpleasant start to what would become a taste that had some fruity notes, mainly citrus (clementine anyone?) I was told this was the pony blend.

Whatever that means. It was good.

The second was I think done by someone else, the froth was silkier and I noticed a crisper finish as well. There wasn’t any lasting coffee taste, it was like I’d had a small sip of water after.

Or brushed my teeth.

They have a selection of pastries and cakes as well but with my allergies I’m never brave enough to try them. Especially because I never remember my Epipen.

So the space is fresh, as is the coffee. And because a lack of caffeine means you are weak in the head, I wouldn’t trust any executive decisions made by a board that hadn’t consumed a healthy amount of the bean nectar. So we shall soon see a year on year increase in productivity, followed by a jump in top line revenue and trading on quadruple digit multiples to create a business model that is cash flow positive.

Frankie and Co have made a sound investment.

For the wine geeks out there, they also note the acidity, which in this case is interestingly high at 3.71pH. The effect in the mouth comes across as rounded in the mid-palate and then a late acid effect providing a tartness to the finish. It is balanced though, which is what we want. In fact this Pinot Noir/Gamay blend would make the perfect daytime tipple that you would imbibe while consuming summery things like barbecued prawns and pulled pork sandwiches.

FARM TO TABLE EXPERIENCE WITH FOWLES WINE Fowles Winery, Cellar Door, 1175 Lambing Gully Rd, Avenel

This year, to celebrate their status as Victoria’s Best Tourism Winery for three years running, we’ll be hosting our legendary event at the place where all the magic happens...Our Cellar Door!

The Wine Shed will transform into a rustic banqueting hall and step back in time to re-create the feel and flavours of a traditional hunt feast with regional food producing friends. With a dress theme of ‘a touch of tweed’, you’ll enjoy sparkling wine and canapés in the courtyard, live music, old school garden games, food demonstrations and prizes for the best dressed.

Having worked up an appetite, we’ll sit down to a two course lunch featuring delicious retro dishes whose ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers all served with award winning Fowles Wine. fowleswine.com.au Tickets cost: $105 inclusive of all food and wine.
