I used to walk past this shop on a daily basis, namely because I used to work near by. The funny…read morething is that it always seemed to catch my attention, even though I'm not really in the market for kitchen appliances. However, since there were some rather interesting utensils, particularly the knife holder shaped like a man getting stabbed by multiple knives, it did catch my attention. Okay, when I ended up going inside, it wasn't to purchase that particular knife holder (though maybe I should go back and do so), it was to get a keep cup. Still, it is somewhat out of the ordinary, which gives points in my books.

Everything here looks shiny, strong and of high quality. Unfortunately its also very pricey - but if you're lucky like I have been you might just score yourself a present from here.

They have a wide range of kitchen ware including some great little gadgets and gift ideas. Also the widest range of knives I've seen in melbourne! Plus there's just something about a small business with history; apparently they've been around for 130+ years!

Because of heavy traffic, I was slightly delayed. The sales assistants wouldn't accept them anymore! I thought that is far to fiscal and very poor customer service. I will definitely not go back there ever again

Like any bad chef I always blame my tools for the outcome of a crappy, under-cooked meal. But…read morebecause of Superchef I can no longer do that... Damn them for stocking high quality products! However they have made the job of cooking a lot easier and painfree. I didn't realise you could cut onions practically tear-free if you have a good quality, sharp knife! They also stock a good variety of crockery and cooking utensils so even if you still screw-up dinner at least your guests will appreciate the lovely plate it came on.

Hospo stores are great if you just need a few extra sets place settings of cutlery or a few odd extra glasses for a dinner party! I'd recommend shopping between both the whimsical Unicorn and the more sensibly-named Chefland across the street, as I noticed quite a significant saving on some items at each of the stores compared to the other.

My house is slowly becoming a rainforest. Seriously. At this point I have more plants than cutlery…read moreand I'm looking to add more to my clan. On Sunday morning, while my hankering is normally for a Bloody Mary and some granola, I instead craved fresh plants. It had been a long time since I visited Northroy Nursery and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. From the exterior it appears to be your basic nursery, primarily selling pots and soil however when you walk in you will find quirky cacti, hanging plants and succulents as far as the eye can see. But what is best about Northroy Nursery is their indoor plant section. I was very surprised to see an abundance of fiddle leaf figs (if you're not in the know, these are a very cool plant right about now), which are often very difficult to find in Melbourne. While these were quite small, they were retailing for an eye-boggling 20 clams! I had never seen them so cheap before! They also stocked a LOT of fruit salad plants, hanging plants and also moss for if/when you attempt a terrarium. If you're in the market for some good indoor plants, definitely stop boy Northroy.
