If you’re in Queensland or Melbourne, check out happy dough (gluten free) doughnuts! They’re so good. They’re fresh, made on site. Soft, buttery, they’re little bit crispy on the outside like regular doughnuts. So many flavour options & vegan if you need that 😊. Some GF doughnuts are decent. My friend hasn’t liked any. She actually likes these.

If the store gets enough business in Melbourne, they’re going to renew their lease in 2 months. The Melbourne location is at Eastland shopping centre. They have several locations in QLD that are long term.

PAX-d to the Rafters

Having skipped PAX AUS in 2023 due to a host of new responsibilities and no friends wishing to accompany me on the pilgrimage down to Melbourne, I was adamant to head down once more to see what the fuss was all about for the 20th anniversary of PAX AUS in 2024. It helped that there were more big name publishers on the show floor than 2022. Although, truth be told, it was probably because I'd committed myself early by purchasing a three-day badge for the possibility of a bigger and better PAX AUS than the one I was greeted with during my first time.

Spoiler alert: While I feel like PAX Aus does have its perks, it simply isn't very enjoyable as a solo traveller. Should I go again, I will, most assuredly, have to bully bleachpanda to come down with me. Or have my meetups with friends be on separate days so I can have sufficient time to hang out with them all.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm sure, dear reader, you want the nitty gritty details. A proper story as you read this on your phone, sitting on the toilet or where have you.

And so I shall oblige by returning to the beginning of my four-day adventure down to the city of Melbourne, Australia.

I woke up early on a sunny Thursday morning. My luggage was mostly packed and I was eager to see to head down to the domestic terminal for my very short flight down to the state of Victoria. After going through my daily ablutions, as well as breakfast, I was buzzing with excitement.

Although my flight was slated for 11 AM, I was ready to head to the airport early. After all, I needed to check-in and bring my suitcase to the baggage drop area. These I completed in quick succession once I arrived. And, within moments, I was through security.

With more than two hours to go before my flight, I wandered through the terminal, buying myself a hot chocolate and a Halloween-themed Krispy Kreme donut. Then it was off to the pharmacy to purchase some Panadol and first-aid stuff should anything untoward happen on the trip (nothing did). After scanning the shelves of the airport shelves for what books they might have, I headed to the gate to enjoy my donut and to wait for boarding.

What I had not quite expected was for Dikottir to also show up for the exact same flight.

Yes, I knew he would be attending PAX and that he would also be flying down on the Thursday, but I had not anticipated it would be on the same Virgin flight (although, to be fair, my flight was initially with Rex but in June this year, it went into administration and I had to scramble for a replacement. Thankfully, Virgin was there to pick up the open slots and I was able to secure my spot without having to pay anything additional). So, we sat at the airport (a veritable meet cute) and chatted about his recent trip to Seoul. He showed me a few of the pictures he had taken, including the food he had eaten, as we waited for our flight.

Unfortunately for us, our flight was delayed due to a fault detected on the vessel. For an additional hour, we sat at the gate, waiting. There was even a moment when we feared the flight had changed gates but this was merely because one of the staff had closed the door and the airport system had automatically updated the details.

It was several minutes past noon before our flight took to the skies.

After it had landed and we had retrieved our luggage, it was roughly 2 PM. Given the fact our respective accommodations were close by, we took the SkyBus from the airport towards the centre of Melbourne. Along the way, we chatted about his many concerns regarding the AirBnB he had booked (including the fact the original owners had sold the property, the desperation to search for a replacement, the suspicious dealings of having to check-in prior to staying and a slew of other issues). In many ways, it was like catching up with a friend.

Once we had reached Southern Cross Station, the two of us parted. He to his AirBnB (which he would later be trapped in due to someone setting the rubbish chute on fire), and I to the Hotel Indigo (located on the corner of Flinders Lane and Spencer Street, and within spitting distance of the Melbourne Convention Centre across the bridge of the Yarra River).

By the time I had checked in, it was twenty minutes past three and I was starving. However, because I'd arranged to meet up with an old work friend, I staved it off with a roll of sushi, along with some cheese and crackers. After we had scouted out the Big W in the city centre (in preparation for his trip the next day), the two of us enjoyed some Chinese xiao long bao and pan-friend dumplings.

And so my first day in Melbourne came to an end.

The second day, and the first proper day of PAX, had me rise at around 7:20 AM. Worried I was running late, I scoffed down my breakfast at the hotel, dropping a cut of bacon and some scrambled egg on the ground, and legged it to the Convention Centre. After waiting a few minutes, Sorrengail arrived looking quite cold in her t-shirt and cardigan. Realising that the showroom floor wouldn't open until 10, we decided to head to a local cafe. Sorrengail picked up a Portuguese tart as well as soy latte, while I enjoyed my go-to drink: the hot chocolate.

Then it was off to PAX proper where we tried out a few of the indie games, caught up with her game developer work colleagues (yes, I actually have a friend in game development), attended separate panels and essentially kept myself glued to her side. There was only one brief diversion to meet up with mrsarmageddon to hand off her Mimikyu t-shirt (a gift I'd picked up at SMASH earlier in the year) before I had to leave Sorrengail behind and meet up with Dikottir for dinner.

Of course, by then, I'd also accumulated a few other purchases (including Metaphor: ReFantazio and a yumcha inspired board game called Steam Up). Given I'd left PAX fairly early, I went back to my hotel to offload it all before hurrying over to Big Esso by Mabu Mabu at Federation Square. A proclaimed foodie, Dikottir had been eyeing the Indigenous restaurant for quite some time. After much hewing and hawing, we picked the three course meal and were treated to a smorgasbord of food: Terpa (oysters), island damper, cassava and native thyme rosti, charred kodal (crocodile) tongue skewer, usar (kangaroo) tartare, kami (emu) steak, kiamikiam cauliflower...and even some dessert!

Overall, the food was great and I got to enjoy some truly different flavours. Of course, the kangaroo tartare was also served with mirki salsa verde. As such, Dikottir got to witness firsthand my inability to handle spice (something which, no doubt) amused him to no end.

After dinner, the two of us headed back to the convention centre. While I hoped to catch one last panel (Video Games and Radio Stars: The Big Ol' Game Music Quiz Show with hosts: Meena Shamaly and Gemma Driscoll), he was headed to see a friend speedrun through Balatro.

The second day of PAX saw me attend two panels: CTRL + Empower: Navigating the Gaming Matrix as Women and So You Want to be a Voice Actor. Between the panels, I mostly wandered the showroom floor aimlessly - primarily intent on purchasing some merchandise to make the trip a little bit more memorable (and to see if I couldn't buy a few presents - either for myself or for friends). In the end, I walked away with even more Disney Lorcana cards that I'm not entirely sure want to do with, a Grunt plushie and a strange burrito creature that, by the time this blog post goes up, I'll have hopefully foisted on bleachpanda.

After my last panel, I vacillated between heading to the nearby DFO to purchase a pair of new jeans or to try my hand at getting a Moogle pin at the Final Fantasy XIV area. In the end, my desire for a Moogle pin won out. Though the line was capped, two people immediately left and I was able to enter.

An hour or so later, I was the owner of a new Moogle pin! One I wasn't sure if I should gift to bleachpanda or another friend, mizutina, come her birthday). It will, more than likely, have gone to mizutina for something a little more unique than yet another figurine she can purchase).

With evening fast approaching, I returned once more to Hotel Indigo to offload all of my purchases and to await dinner with an old high school friend. Given my busy schedule of panel attendance and making the most of the time I had to wander around the show floor, I had not eaten lunch. By 7:30 PM, I was starving.

Thankfully, my friend arrived right on time (a feat she thought impossible given her proclivity for time blindness) and we enjoyed some Japanese food for dinner. Afterwards, we headed for dessert - demolishing a huge kakigori with aplomb.

The third day, and last day of PAX (although it would be my fourth day in Melbourne overall), saw me try out several of the indies on display, and catching a glimpse of a furry wedding at a Cult of the Lamb themed section of the convention centre before abandoning the show altogether to buy myself a new pair of jeans (along with a pair of chinos) at the nearby DFO on the Southbank. Without anyone to keep me at PAX, I headed into Melbourne proper, stopping at Critical Hit and Minotaur Entertainment for possible pop-culture or game related purchases.

There was little to catch my eye, so I chose, instead, to cap off my trip to Melbourne with a showing of SIX: The Musical at the Comedy Theatre. Getting to witness the original cast on stage, and film the Megasix, was probably my greatest highlight of the trip given the unapologetic message of the show, as well as the vibrant energy of the performances.

It was certainly better than most of the panels I attended, which, while informative and their own brand of fun, did seem a little 'mid.' Not saying Mark Meer pulling off a Joker impression alongside Abubakar Salim was mid, but most of the time, it just felt like people had put up boring slideshows to talk at us.

Speaking of Abubakar Salim, on my flight home to Sydney, I swear he was on my flight! When I arrived at my gate, he was sat quite close to the Virgin counter dressed in a black jumper and blue jeans (the outfit he had been wearing on Saturday when I attended a panel he participated on). But, like the coward I was, I didn't approach him. Instead, I used the wait time at the gate to get through more of Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, and slyly spy on the man in my peripheral vision.

All in all, PAX AUS 2024 wasn't the grand outing I had hoped it would be. It was a bustling convention, true, with plenty to do, but given I had attended the event once again on my lonesome, it failed to carry the spark I was looking for. They do say third time's the charm with these kinds of events and I'm willing to go again. But perhaps with a friend who can keep my company, it won't seem so maudlin. So, bleachpanda, I hope you're prepared!

I'll even pay for all of your expenses!

That being said, if it fails to live up to my expectations for the third time, I might just call it quits and simply enjoy the time traipsing around Melbourne here at home, with all my nerdy memorabilia close at hand. After all, I have my games and books and even the musicals I want to see right in Sydney (except for Beetlejuice, which will apparently be showing in Melbourne May 2025. Drats)!

some other Miscellaneous Japan Thoughts after day 1:

there are. So many vending machines around here. if you ever want a Drink Treat have no fear, you are within 5 metres of a vending machine with peach tea or canned coffee at any given moment

there are also a shitload of convenience stores as well. i walked down one street that had a Family Mart, a Lawsons, and a 7/11 all within eye distance

my fucking god the sweets / desserts are so fucking good here. custard cream donuts are heavenly. those wiggly puddings are everything i wanted and more. if i could live off sweets for the next two weeks without my body crying for A Fucking Vegetable i would

walked past a massive two-storey building for 24 Hour VR Ultra Men's Entertainment. im not sure if i want to know what that is but good for them i guess

somehow we got lost trying to find Ueno Park and ended up accidentally walking into a cemetery twice

my Japanese co-worker told me not many people speak English in Japan but thankfully I have run into quite a few who have helped me bumble my way through train stations and convenience stores. we had a nice chat with a lady in Ueno Park who approached us cuz her son wanted to know where we're from since he didn't recognise the accent. turns out she has colleagues in Melbourne and i almost thought i was gonna have a Cliche Movie Moment where we discover we coincidentally know the same person

freshy-made takoyaki from a festival stand tastes 100x better than any takoyaki ive had in Australia. literally who would've thought

Unlocking Your Online Potential: Why Every Melbourne Business Needs an SEO Consultant

Imagine strolling down bustling Collins Street, vibrant shops buzzing, cafes overflowing with eager Melbournians – a thriving scene, except your business remains hidden, tucked away in a dimly lit alleyway. This, for many businesses in the digital age, is the harsh reality of a neglected online presence. But fear not, dear reader, for just like Gandalf guiding Frodo through treacherous landscapes, an SEO consultant can illuminate your path to online visibility and unlock your business's true potential.

But why, you ask, is an SEO consultant essential for every Melbourne business? Let's ditch the riddles and delve into the compelling reasons why investing in an SEO guru is like discovering buried treasure on the St Kilda foreshore:

1. Navigate the Ever-Shifting Digital Landscape: Remember the last time you tried navigating Melbourne's tram system without Google Maps? Confusing, right? The world of SEO is just as intricate, evolving faster than a barista crafting a latte art masterpiece. A seasoned consultant, like a seasoned tram driver, understands the ins and outs, staying ahead of algorithm updates and guiding you through the labyrinthine world of search engines.

2. Speak the Language of Search Engines: Imagine trying to order a flat white in Mandarin – communication gap, right? The same applies to search engines. An SEO consultant speaks their language fluently, translating complex algorithms and data into actionable strategies that resonate with Google and Bing. Think of them as your multilingual interpreter, ensuring your website speaks volumes to the right audience.

3. Attract Local Heroes, Not Just Tourists: Melbourne thrives on its unique neighborhoods, each with its own preferences and quirks. A local SEO consultant understands these nuances, tailoring your online presence to attract customers near and dear. Picture it like perfecting the perfect hot jam donut – catering to Melbournian tastes, not just generic donut lovers.

4. From Data Dungeons to Insights You Can Use: Buried deep within website analytics lie valuable insights, waiting to be unearthed. But who has the time to decipher these cryptic codes? An SEO consultant acts as your data Indiana Jones, unearthing hidden gems and translating them into actionable strategies. Think of them as your data decoder ring, transforming numbers into a roadmap for success.

5. Content that Captures Hearts, Not Crickets: Remember the power of a captivating story? It's the same with online content. An SEO consultant helps you craft narratives that resonate with your target audience, engaging them emotionally and driving conversions. Think of them as your content alchemist, transforming words into gold-winning campaigns.

6. Transparency: No Smoke and Mirrors Here: Ever encountered a "too good to be true" deal in Melbourne? We all have. SEO is no different. Beware of black-hat tactics and empty promises. A good consultant prioritizes ethical practices, building your online presence on a solid foundation of trust and transparency. Think of them as your ethical magician, wielding white hat SEO for sustainable success.

7. Budget Savvy Solutions, Not Bank-Breaking Spells: Investing in SEO is like buying a coffee – essential for Melbourne life, but budgets matter. A knowledgeable consultant understands your financial constraints, crafting customized strategies that maximize your return on investment. Think of them as your financial wizard, conjuring up effective solutions within your budget.

8. Communication: A Bridge, Not a Barrier: Imagine ordering a coffee and getting a confused stare – frustrating, right? Clear communication is key in SEO too. A good consultant explains complex concepts in plain language, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process. Think of them as your communication bridge, ensuring a smooth and transparent journey.

9. Flexibility: Adapting to Change Like a Melbourne Weather Forecast: Remember those unpredictable Melbourne storms? The SEO landscape is just as dynamic. A skilled consultant doesn't just react to change; they anticipate it, adapting their strategies to stay ahead of the curve. Think of them as your weather forecaster, predicting and preparing for upcoming algorithmic shifts.

10. More Than Just Rankings: Building a Brand You Love: It's not just about reaching the top of search results; it's about establishing a brand identity that resonates with your audience. A good consultant goes beyond rankings, helping you build trust, authority, and brand loyalty. Think of them as your brand architect, constructing a digital presence you can be proud of.

By unlocking the power of SEO with the Seo consultant Melbourne, you're not just opening a shop on a bustling street; you're transforming it into a vibrant destination, attracting Melbournians who resonate with your story and offerings. So, step out of the shadows, embrace the digital sunshine, and embark on your SEO journey with the right guide by your side. Remember, Melbourne businesses, a hidden gem deserves to be discovered!

Laser Cut Botupa

First, I drew a Lineart Botupa on a flash card (at a Dunkin' Donuts), then I scanned that drawing, and had a laser cutter at the Melbourne Maker Space to put that drawing on this piece of wood. I needed something to put it on, so I made that little holder out of some hard wood and gave it a nice stain.

something I’m still thinking about is how international comedians interacted with melbourne audiences in regards to lockdown. other places obviously locked down but something about melbournes lockdowns were so… something. i was really glad tim keys lockdown translated to melbourne. he said himself “he knows how it sounds banging on about lockdown to a city that had one of the toughest” yet i found mulberry healing for that reason. that someone else on the other side of the world felt the same and didn’t even have the northface jacket or the donut days.

Re: recommendations for Sydney, Taronga Zoo is in a pretty beautiful spot by the harbour so would recommend if you want to see Aussie animals. There’s a koala sanctuary out west but much harder to get to if you don’t have a car.

Bakery wise- the watermelon cake at Black Star Pastry was pretty instagrammed out but is in fact delicious. They have a spot at The Galeries in the CBD which is very close to the train and the QVB and all the city landmarks but their flagship is in Newtown which is a fairly fun suburb to walk around in the Inner West (also on train line). Tuva has the best pastel de nata in the city - they’re in Clovelly which is near all the beaches and some lovely walks along the water. If you have time, the Burwood Chinatown is pretty fun and has tons of savoury and sweet stuff (mochi donuts are also very good) or the ice cream at Ice Kirin Bar in the city is great. Unfortunately Sydney is fairly spread out compared to Melbourne so it might depend where you’re staying.

ahhh i'm excited for taronga zoo i'm pretty sure we'll do that!!! and yeah we won't have car access so we'll be limited in that sense 🥲 but excited to experience the many joys of the Sydney Light Rail System. i collect transit cards from everywhere i travel so i can't wait to add an OPAL CARD to the collection...!

and OMGGG i totally remember seeing black star pastry go viral a while back but i forgot about it!!! i actually just had a convo with a sydney oomf about how spread-out sydney is and how Everything Is Still Sydney in comparison to cities in na where the city limits are so much more confined / strictly delineated lmfaooo. anyway thank you a bunch for these recs i'm on a mission to taste test mochi donuts all across the planet 💗

10 Unique Desserts to Replace Your Wedding Cake

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable events of your life, and every element should reflect your unique style and preferences, including the dessert. While traditional wedding cakes are beautiful and classic, more couples are opting for unconventional sweets that add a personal touch to their special day. So before you talk to the wedding catering Melbourne team of your liking, here are ten unique desserts that can beautifully replace a wedding cake and leave your guests with sweet memories.

Donut Tower

Donuts are a delightful alternative to the traditional wedding cake. You can stack them in a tower, arrange them on a tiered stand, or even create a donut wall. With a variety of flavours and toppings, from classic glazed to gourmet fillings, donuts offer a fun and customizable dessert option. You can also personalise your donut display with icing that matches your wedding colours, or even monogrammed designs to add an extra special touch.

Macaron Pyramid

Elegant and colourful, macarons make a sophisticated statement. These delicate French confections come in a wide range of flavours and can be arranged in a pyramid for a visually stunning effect. Their light, airy texture and vibrant hues add a touch of refinement to your dessert table. Consider offering a variety of flavours such as raspberry, pistachio, chocolate, and lavender to please every palate. The macaron pyramid not only tastes delightful but also serves as a beautiful decorative piece.

Cheese Wheel Cake

For those who prefer savoury over sweet, a cheese wheel cake is an excellent choice. Stack various types of cheeses to create a multi-tiered "cake," and decorate it with fruits, nuts, and flowers. This option is perfect for wine and cheese lovers and offers a unique twist on the traditional wedding dessert. Guests can enjoy pairing different cheeses with wine, crackers, and accompaniments, creating an interactive and gourmet experience that stands out.

Pie Bar

A pie bar featuring a selection of pies is a cosy and comforting alternative. From classic apple and pecan to more adventurous flavours like blueberry lavender or chocolate bourbon, pies can be served in full sizes or mini versions. This dessert option provides a warm and homey vibe to your wedding celebration. You can even incorporate family recipes, adding a personal touch that honours your heritage and traditions. Displaying pies in a rustic setup with decorative stands and signage enhances the charming and inviting atmosphere.

Cupcake Tower

Cupcakes are a popular choice for a reason—they're versatile, easy to serve, and loved by many. Arrange them in a tower to mimic the appearance of a tiered cake. With endless flavour combinations and decorative possibilities, cupcakes can match any wedding theme. You can offer a variety of flavours and fillings, ensuring there's something for everyone. Decorate with intricate frosting designs, edible flowers, or themed toppers that reflect your wedding style. Cupcakes also allow for easy portion control and minimal waste, making them a practical yet delightful option.

Croquembouche

For a dramatic and elegant dessert, consider a croquembouche. This traditional French pastry is made of choux buns filled with cream and stacked into a cone, bound together with caramel threads. It's a show-stopping centrepiece that will impress your guests with its intricate design and delicious taste. The croquembouche can be further adorned with spun sugar, edible flowers, or fresh berries, creating a stunning visual and culinary masterpiece that is sure to be a highlight of your reception.

Ice Cream Sundae Bar

An ice cream sundae bar adds a playful and interactive element to your wedding. Set up a station with different ice cream flavours, toppings, and sauces, allowing guests to create their own sundaes. This idea is especially perfect for summer weddings and provides a refreshing treat. Include a variety of toppings such as sprinkles, crushed cookies, fresh fruits, nuts, and whipped cream. You can even offer non-dairy options to cater to guests with dietary restrictions. The sundae bar encourages creativity and adds a fun, nostalgic feel to your celebration.

Brownie and Blondie Bites

Rich, fudgy brownies and chewy blondies make for a delightful dessert alternative. Serve them as bite-sized pieces on a tiered stand or in decorative trays. You can offer a variety of flavours, including classic chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel swirl, catering to diverse tastes. Brownies and blondies are also easy to transport and serve, making them a convenient option for any venue. Consider pairing them with coffee or dessert wine to create a decadent end to your meal.

Fruit Tart Buffet

For a lighter and refreshing option, consider a fruit tart buffet. Tarts with buttery crusts, creamy fillings, and an array of fresh fruits are visually appealing and delicious. Offer a selection of mini tarts featuring different fruits and flavours to delight your guests. You can include seasonal fruits for a fresh, vibrant display that changes with the time of year. The fruit tart buffet not only provides a healthier dessert option but also adds a burst of colour and elegance to your dessert table.

Churro Station

Bring a taste of Spain to your wedding with a churro station. Freshly fried churros, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with a variety of dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, and dulce de leche, make for an irresistible dessert. This interactive station will add a fun and festive atmosphere to your reception. Guests can enjoy watching the churros being made fresh and customising their treat with different toppings and sauces. The churro station adds a touch of warmth and excitement, perfect for a lively and joyful celebration.

Choosing a unique dessert to replace your wedding cake is a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your special day. Whether you opt for a donut tower, a macaron pyramid, or a churro station, these alternatives offer endless possibilities to delight your guests and create unforgettable memories. Embrace your creativity and let your dessert reflect your love story in the sweetest way possible. By incorporating one of these unique options, you ensure that your wedding dessert will be a highlight of the celebration, leaving a lasting impression on your guests.
