Don Bay Japanese Lunch Place

Shop 5, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne(down Gurner’s Lane)Phone 03 9670 3456Mon-Fri 11am – 3pm

You can find this little travesty at Breadtop in QV for $2.20. And yes, I did buy one.

Errr…umm…it is…definitely beer jelly. In fact, it tastes pretty much like a VB or Carlton Draught with just a little added sweetness to temper the bitterness. The frothy head was a little weird [...]
