Derby Day is definitely a Melbournian favourite, I mean what’s not to love, a whole day devoted to a monochrome dress code. Now that’s what I’m talking about! If you were to see my wardrobe black and white are my go to colours so it doesn’t get any better than Derby Day if you ask me. This was my first time attending the races in the very chic Birdcage.

As we drive past in the nighttime we see a double story lit up restaurant, the lights lit although dim, and the room takes on a multicoloured hue accentuating the fun and laid-back vibes. The treasured restaurant we visited is located in Hawthorn East and is called "St Cloud". One of the best Vietnamese eating-houses in Melbourne! As we walk and get closer to enter the building the sound of the music becomes louder and more enchanting. Just one step into this gorgeous restaurant, my head turns to look back at Michael, my eyebrows have raised as if to say.. "we are in for a good night"! With the most welcoming and sweetest staff, we were then seated directly opposite the chief’s kitchen where you could watch the magic being made!
