Three Bags Full (Abbotsford)

Only 10-15 mins away from Melbourne CBD located on the corner of Nicholson St and Mollison St lies Three Bags Full. A spacious, industrial-chic cafe full of good vibes and dangling lights. I was accompanied by Jess, and we were overdue for a catch-up after a few months. It wasn't long before we were seated by the window booth and I was squealing over how nice the window was... and how nice the dangling light was... and how nice the atmosphere was.  "You get excited way too easily man"  




As usual, we started off with coffees which I was fine to drink as opposed to Jess who spooned in about 6 spoonfuls of sugar. (Okay maybe it wasn't six, but you get the point). 
 
Jess had ordered the Pork Brioche: 12-hour Braised Pulled Pork, Apple, Cabbage, Coriander, Pickled Chilli and Yuzu Aioli. It was definitely something to order when you're really hungry, but I do recommend this one! I can't exactly say much about it though, only because I only had a few forkfuls. The presentation of the dish was just an explosion of cabbage topped with a brioche bun. Colour could added, but I'm not complaining. 


I had ordered the Beetroot Cured Salmon: Pea/Feta/Corn Fritter, Avocado, Rocket, Dill Sour Cream and Lemon. I'm a sucker for a good fritter, especially paired with salmon so I was definitely feelin it for this one. I couldn't really taste the beetroot flavour of the salmon, so that was a small disappointment. But I actually really enjoyed the fritter component! It wasn't like toast where you spend half the time digging your knife and fork into bread, but a nice fritter that you balance on your fork with everything else on the plate. A definite recommend! 

Driving here was a bit of a pain considering Jess didn't make the turns at the right streets, resulting in the navigator constantly rerouting the path for us HAHA  but on the bright side, it was a nice new area to be in. Driving around in circles isn't always such a bad thing (at least for me, I'm pretty sure Jess was done with me hehe) 

Adventure awaits, 
Love Mich xx
