Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.

The banh mi from my favourite vegan cafe (Olivia Spring Cafe in MoPo) makes me so happy. I get ridiculously happy about great food, and this cafe also makes their broken rice (Cơm Tấm) dish using the same ingredients so it's a double win whenever I order from there. This takes my mind off Aus Post continuing to bounce my parcel between west and eastern Melbourne for three weeks now despite saying they've put in alerts to have it dealt with by a human rather than their automated sorting mech.

I definitely need to bookmark this place for when I'm in the area next!! For a second I thought you meant the Mornington Peninsula and I was a touch surprised. Moonee Ponds is definitely a lot closer.

It's certainly worth a visit. I have a rule about not ordering the same stuff when I return to a particular spot but so far I haven't been able to move away from the broken rice and banh mi!

I've always wanted to try a good broken rice so I'm definitely looking forward to it
