Exciting Food

Past few weeks have been real boring. Other than our anniversary and going for some spicy food. Nothing much happening here down under. Just study, study and more study. We met up with some friends we haven't met in awhile and we decided to have some spicy food. Cos its cold now so some spicy food does feel good, washed down with good old beer. Everything on the menu was spicy, there were only two dishes that were not spicy. Talk about HOT!

The green stuff is actually green chilli, it looks like there is more chilli than the main dish!

I bet u can't see the chicken. Cos they used chicken scraps! Bunch of cheaters! I bet they re-used the chilli as well. EWWWW....

It's not that spicy but it kinda numbs your tounge. I wonder why....

Not that spicy too, like Thai sweet chilli prawns.

This one is the same like the prawns, sweet n spicy.

This one is really peppery, it has this weird taste in the marinade.

Look at the chilli!! This one was really salty but shiok although the crab wasn't fresh.

This was the only non-spicy dish, fried french beans in black olive sauce.

Overall it was OK, but we waited for like almost 2 hours for a table. Totally horrible.

Before going for dinner, we were studying at Caufield, but I ended cam-whoring. :(

Ugly Sesame Bagels

My bagels were not that successful, but they tasted not too bad for a first attempt.


However, they are ugly. Yes, UGLY. And it just so happened that Mackers here has a new breakfast bagel with ham, and they were promoting it on TV. My dearest boyfriend had to go, "Eh B, why your bagel go different from the one on TV leh? Theirs like very smooth, how come yours so uneven one?" I was like, "Cos theirs is machine made, whereas mine is made with LOVE." I WIN. hahaha! Who cares if it looks good or bad, as long as it tastes good. I'll try again next time.

BTW, the recipe was suppose to make 12 bagels, I only ended up with 7.

Drama Queen Visits Melbourne

I'm much better from the stupid flu. Just a little more to clear up. Hopefully its cleared before going over to Gold Coast. My stupid period is still not here yet, I hope it comes tomorrow.

Main topic: Daphne Wang the Drama Queen was here in Melbourne a few weeks back for a holiday. Obviously we had to spend time with each other. We rented a 'manual' Hyundai Getz, and I brought her to Yarra Valley to visit the wineries, and I bought her lunch at Yering Station.

We had alot of fun, its been so long since we last went out and really enjoyed ourselves. The next day I even cooked dinner for the lot. Lamb chops, french beans and ABC soup.

We also had dinner at Chapel Street, together with KC and Bren.

When it was time for her to return to Singapore, it was so unbearable. It was fun having her around, we really laughed a lot. Stupid bitch, really miss you a lot.

Fat Sushi

We made sushi yesterday and it wasn't too bad for our first attempt. Just that our rice portions were a little too fat. Instead of bite size it was mouth full size. So when you put the whole thing in your mouth, you will look like a hamster that just stuffed its mouth full with sunflower seeds.



The rice was a little hard too, it would be nice if it was slightly more soft and sticky. KY and I kept thinking of opening a Japanese cafe near our place, cos there's no Jap food around this area. If we do open one it will be a sellout. There's a few offices and the lunch crowd is really not bad. Plus, I've just went for a coffee barista course. So I can make that perfect cup of coffee with a real espresso machine.

Well that's all nothing but talk, how can we possibly run a business while being full-time students. I guess we'll just leave that thought for later.

I'm going for Armin later with Bren and Mel, quite excited cos its been a long time since Godskitchen 2006. I'm only afraid that my back will not last as long as I want it to. Been having backaches again recently. Can't stand up for too long, if not it will hurt quite a fair bit. I think I need to make an appointment with the chiropractor soon.
