Where: Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn
The place where I work (about 10mins walk from Glenferrie train stop), happens to be on the famous Glenferrie Rd. Hawthorn. Its home to many cafes, boutiques, restaurants and other essentials like banks, Coles and Safeway supermarkets. One thing I noticed is the number of Coffee places on this street. Geez, gourmet coffee lovers will never fall asleep again for months as there is so many joints to get their caffein fixes from! What ever you do, don't take them for lattes at Mackers alright! Pretend you know something about coffee and take them to a place that charges at least A$3.00 for a cuppa!! heheh...
Below are some pics when I step out of my office...

Theres even a neat website where you can see exactly what's on both sides of Glenferrie Rd. It seems to be quite a happening place.
A few tips of my own:
- If you want a reasonal lunch deal, head on to the Samurai restaurant where the lunchbox specials are only $A6.00 !! Thats cheap, considering you get miso soup, main course and house pouring tea!
- If you want some spicy lunch, head on down to Nelayan Restaurant where you can find some spicy Beef Rendang to go with steam rice. Much like Nasi Campur in Msia, you can get 3 dishes with rice for about $A7.00 to $A8.00. Oh yea, don't forget to pick up the free water in cups near the counter! hehe..
- This is a bit far, but if you want Malaysian chinese dishes, there is a good place up Burwood Rd which cuts accross Glenferrie Rd just after the train station. If you walk up Burwoord Rd towards Swinburne University, you will find a place called "Penang
