Cookie | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
We
weren’t feeling particularly hungry after the James Bond
exhibition, but due to my busy food schedule, Cookie was a must eat
venue and the next venue on the list. A light lunch is always
preferable to no lunch, in my opinion.
Cookie
is not a bakery nor is it a café (the name somehow reminds me of
David Chang’s Momofuku Milk Bar). It’s actually a funky beer hall
that serves Thai food.
Cookie
is located on the first level of Curtin House, a six storey building
on Swanson street that was built in 1922. It is well hidden from
unsuspecting eyes and if it wasn't for the other travel bunnie
leading me up the dimly lit staircase and though the restaurant doors
I may have never even tried this place.
The
tables at Cookie are closely positioned thought the room but the
décor is quirky mix of modern art and country classic. After
having a friendly chat with our waiter we ordered the deep
fried snapper with bok choi tamarind & crispy shallots
($25.50) and roasted duck salad with pineapple, tomato &
basil ($24.50). The fish was simply flavoured (perhaps it
was a little too simple) but the other travel bunnie tells me that
the duck was a very pleasant light summer meal.
We
didn't stay for dessert as we had a tram to catch to St Kilda but we
left after our short lunch affair feeling that Cookie provided a
solid lunch option but was well short of the flavour benchmark set by
ChinChin.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $58
