This morning I visited one of my local cafe's before I began my journey to uni, I order their big breakfast special which consisted of bacon, eggs, chorizo, hash brown, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and two slices of bread. It was definitely one of the best breakfast dishes I have had in a while and would recommend the cafe to anyone who is passing through the area. It called The Container, located in Dunas Valley. Overall the dish was very filling and satisfying. Lachie

' Today, I wasn't too hungry in the morning so before heading to uni i stopped past my local cafe and had a piccolo coffee and a chocolate and vanilla cannoli. I decided not to have any sugar in my coffee, due to the fact the cannoli made up for it I think. The total price of both items set me back $7.50. The coffee was made well, however, the cannoli did taste like it had been there for a couple of days. It was still enjoyable, but not the freshest one that I have had. I have had good cannoli here before, so this will not hinder my loyalty to this cafe.  Sam 

                                                              This is a laksa I made at home using Maggi Fusion Laksa and adding my own vegetables. The laksa is very convenient to cook, you just need a pan. You boil water in the pan, add noodles then add the seasoning and the coconut milk that comes with it. I added the vegetables after these steps were completed but I would recommend adding them earlier so they soften up as carrots and broccoli are quite hard when not cooked through and if you leave them cooking for too long you end up with soggy noodles. I would also recommend adding extra coconut milk if you are not a fan of spicy food as the dish is quite a spicy one. Overall I give it a 9 out of 10 as the flavour is really quite stunning. Broccoli is a must as it absorbs the glorious juices of the dish and explodes in your mouth...

Today I had a chicken and leek pie. This home made meal is one of my favourites. It consists of chicken, leek, peas and onion sealed in pastry. The pie is cooked through and left in the oven until the top is golden brown, the pastry should be crispy and flaking off. This pie was cooked extremely well and was bursting with flavour. The chicken was sweet and juicy, the peas were soft and the leek produced an exquisite  flavour that complimented the chicken so well. This is easily a 9/10 dish, perfect for a cold winters night, snuggled up at home. Theo

Today I was on the run all day, busy will uni work and my part-time job. Therefore I needed something quick and easy, so I thought there was no better place the go than my local KFC. I decided to order my 'go to' meal when I visit KFC and that is the 3 piece box, it consists of 3 pieces of original recipe chicken, small fries, a dinner roll, a can of drink, a small box of popcorn chicken and the best product to top it off is the potato and gravy. For those who haven't tried this menu item at KFC, I strongly encourage you to get out there and get in during your next visit. The best thing is, it only sets you back $10.95! Lachlan

Today I decided to have another burger from where I work, Metro Grill. I got the Deluxe Ranch Burger, which consists of lettuce, tomato, crispy chicken, bacon, cheese and a spicy peri mayo that just does the trick. Combined together, these condiments create a perfect burger. The total price is usually $16 and that comes with a side of chips and your choice of drink. Overall I think it was a complete meal and definitely hit the spot, highly recommend for everyone to visit and give it a go if you are willing to switch it up from your regular fast food chains. Sam
