Finally got the chance to properly try some dishes at Melbourne-inspired @bearded.bella !

Sadly, as their Pancake. Bacon. Flight. Magic. was sold out, my next choice was to go for their tantalizing cold pasta dish. With seared Canadian scallops on top a bed of capellini pasta, chuka wakame, truffle oil and yuzu ponzu - dang this packed a punch. Full of umami from the truffle and chuka wakame, it melded perfectly with the slight tang from the yuzu. It was delectably refreshing and honestly I've never had a pasta dish quite like it. (And I've had my fair share of pasta mind you.)

Next time, I'll make sure to double the portion. Aww yiss.
