Three Monkeys Place Cafe began through the idea of wanting a place in Doncaster with a casual relaxing atmosphere from three inspirational individuals. Their goal is to produce a place with great vibe, food and coffee and I have to say that they're ticking all the boxes. The best part is that I don't have to travel all the way to the inner suburbs to get delicious and beautiful food!

This cafe is definitely going to become a regular brunch place for me, not just because it's so close to me but also because of the FOOD! While they have some of the typical brunch food, they also have some where they add their own twist (which is always exciting and refreshing). Their menu is influenced by their chef that comes from a Hong Kong background where he has had experiences in various fine dining establishments, thus Three Monkeys Place consist of food with elements of classical French, Italian techniques with Asian influences.

We asked the waiter what he would recommend, so we ordered the Porky Pig and the Sweet Monkey where both had Roti in it. Now this might sound strange, but it was absolutely delicious.

First, the Porky Pig has the biggest crackling! The presentation was amazing and definitely had the 'wow' factor. The portion was generous, and extremely yum! *NOTE if you are sitting outside, keep an eye on your crackling!! (halfway through our meal, the last bit of our crackling flew away!)

The Sweet Monkey was an interesting experience. I would have thought that the roti would taste strange in a sweet dish, but  it was actually strangely delicious! It reminded me of fried bananas with ice-cream and mixed berries. Definitely would recommend it!

I'm a huge believer in not judging a book by its cover, the same goes for this cute little cafe located in Hawthorn. While the exterior was not as attractive outside, the inside was nicely decorated with pot plants on the walls! They have three seating areas, a small seating area outdoor in front of the cafe, an indoor area as well as outdoor patio at the back.

After much hype over Instagram, I knew that I had to come to Muharam Cafe to try their famous shakes! I was pleasantly greeted at the door by a friendly waitress and even though it was really busy, I was almost seated immediately. While I was there, there was a constant flow of customers coming in and out, displaying that it is a very popular place.

We ordered the Wagyu beef burger and the nut-telling shake. The beef burger itself was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The chips were crispy on the outside and soft in the inside (just the way I like it!).

Now the Nut-telling shake was DEFINITELY the best part!! I expected it to be overly sweet, but was happy that it had a perfect balance. If you come to Muharam Cafe, the shakes are one of the things you should definitely get! I would recommend getting the shake with an accompanying savoury dish, just so that you won't have an overly sweet brunch :) or I would try out the Red Velvet Pancakes, have heard many positive comments about it!
