I’ve become even more cynical about street art. Everything I see makes me suspicious. Is it art? Or just rubbish? I thought my visual palette was refreshed by seeing some different street art in London, but I have not seen anything new of exciting since returning to Melbourne.
Here’s further evidence that the standards of enforcement, disclosure and transparency regarding food hygiene standards in Victoria are hopelessly inadequate and out of date. In London, local government authorities close down suspect businesses and refuse to allow owners to reopen under different names. They post information on the windows of premises for the public to see. This business was the Saffron cafe (11A Sicilian Avenue, Holborn) and I saw this by coincidence. Why can’t we have this in Melbourne? We could if our inept, obsessed with secrecy, state government developed some political will and forced local governments to take their responsibilities in relation to public health seriously.
One day I wandered around Covent Garden for some time before deciding to eat at Canela Portugese cafe. By that time the lunch rush was over but so too was the lunch special, which at £4.95 sells out quickly. Nonetheless everything looked so delicious I wanted to eat there, and so I chose the chorizo and vegetable slice with salad and a wonderful lemon and coconut cake. They make fine coffee too.
