Acai Bowls & Pancakes
Today I caught up with my long-time pal Melinda - for those of you who haven’t seen my youtube, she’s a girl, darkish skin, tall, extremely good at social interaction (not fair mate) and is someone whom I have had countless catch ups with (which have all been memorable).
We were cold and peckish feelings were taking a turn to the hangry so we decided to eat in this cute cafe with lots of delish vegan options available. We sat down, poured ourselves some water and instantly, Melinda mah gurl went straight into the touch base part. No initial awkward silence? AY FREAKING MEN. Apparently, Chris Brown cancelled his tour which shall I say, led to some “ramifications”…
We then began to order our food and this my friends, is where the story heightens…
In the midst of intense discussions about our career choices, work (or lack thereof…) and “books”, we ordered our food - I ordered some pancakes and Melinda ordered an acai bowl with seasonal fruit.
When our order came, this waiter (keep this person in mind) came and gave us our food. I got my pancakes, they looked delish but to be frank, I was pretty keen on that acai bowl.

The thing is, Melinda’s allergic to kiwi but she didn’t know that it would contain kiwi - the order did say ‘seasonal fruit’, but tbh who knows the seasonal cycle of fruit? Is there an official sheet that says during what period of time a fruit is considered ‘seasonal’?. I eat apples all year round but at what point in time are they considered ‘seasonal’. So many questions….
But the waiter was really nice about this mishap and took the bowl back. To prevent waiter to customer conflict (the linger of it was unsettling), Melinda suggested we should swap dishes - I’d have the acai bowl and Melinda will have the pancakes (CAN I GET AN AMEN?!?!). So swapping we did.
Melinda went up to the same waiter (bare in mind, her and him had a few convos but you didn’t hear it from me) to explain what was happening so we could get the acai bowl back - kiwi and all.
We bonded some more whilst eating the delish food and thankfully, there was no more social conflict shenanigans.

We then went into the city and as we were busting, we went into the National Gallery of Victoria and used this famous gallery for the sake of doing a no. 1. We did stay for a bit, looking at the art… we learned a few things - we really REALLY suck at art interpretation, gift shops are cool but are a stab in your financial back and who knew that a canvas could be just as confusing as mathematical methods.
Then we went to the botanical gardens because Melinda had to get tickets for something. We thought the ticket place would be close by. Boy were we wrong.
We then fluffed around - I got some gelato, she got some Jap food and after that, we went to her place. I found THE CUTEST photos of her when she was a dancing fetus (going straight into your birthday collage Melinda). We bonded with her lovely family whilst watching Ellen - we spoke about Melinda’s off par converse shoes state, her mum’s on point fashion knowledge and my brain's inability to understand how cricket works...
Dearest Melinda,
please be careful when you order seasonal fruit next time and if you need more blue tack for you laptop, I've got plenty.
Sincerely,
