A good friend was down in Melbourne for the Easter holidays, so we decided to catch up over dinner. Seeing as he is a very laid-back guy, it was up to me to decide on a dinner venue. I'm not one to pass up trying a new restaurant, so off to Docklands we headed.
After a little bit of a search, I decided on Cafe de Kikaku. A tiny little cafe that serves Pan-Asian cuisine (which is what exactly?), it was eerily quiet on a Wednesday night. Not to worry, the cafe itself was warm and welcoming.

The food itself was delicious and filling. The salt and pepper squid was crunchy without being greasy and seasoned just right.

The ox-tongue was slightly spicy and very delectable and not over-cooked as can sometimes happen. Both dishes came with salad, and the ox-tongue came with a side of rice.
