I love girly nights

I don’t get enough of these in Japan! A good girl’s night consists of excellent cocktails, good conversation, dessert and of course girls. Although the language barrier may be good conversation, you can’t find a decent cocktail in Nagoya. Not to mention they don’t make the sturdy, dirty and naughty girls in Japan that I’m used to finding back home.

Obviously our sparkling wit, some oohing over my ring, copious men talk and shopping adventures dominate my conversation with my girlfriends.

Now the other three ingredients I mentioned?
I found this recently at Le Bon Ton in Collingwood. Apparently newly opened (it shows it) the food was southern comfort American soul food. Apparently the hip new thing in Melbourne since I last was home. Previously it was every distant kinship to anything Mexican, despite the roughly 1,200 population of ACTUAL Mexicans in Australia. Anyway service was friendly if not patchy. See below for my cocktail that says it all!!

My stand out Girl night happened last night where I had one on one action @ Hammer and Tong.  You know you’re talking too much when the waiter comes twice but you have not touched the menu. Bookings reccommended and 120% worth it. The food is too pretty to eat, but you do anyway because I’m a pig. Their small menu designed for sharing means you could probably sample the entire menu. Despite their largely uniformed hipster clientele and waiters ( who all had very similar glasses) service was efficient with a bit of forgetfulness thrown in. Our waters were ony refilled twice and cutlerywe requested never came. We forgave them because of the food. I know we shouldn’t but take a look.
