Salty Food

heyaaa people.
the follow entry was also pre-typed previously before i even have my internet.
as usual, if it is coloured, it means ive just added them in! :)

Yup. This is about... Foooood :D

Shall blog about the salty ones first. Because have been to many food places already (duhs) since I have last arrived here. Of course not all are captured.. or being blogged.

Anyway, one thing that I would like to comment about their food, the portion that the give are HUGE.

Like this:


Ok. I think the photo can’t really do justice for the portion that they give, does it?

Have illustrated an example to show how HUGEEE the portion is anyway:

I ate this at this Chinese place near my apartment, called C.Y.O Noodles. Won’t really go back to this place I guess. Firstly, like all food here in Aussie, it is expensive. Secondly, I think I can cook better :X

This plate cost about AUD10+ Very simple dish.

The average price of the food here is about AUD10. But I guess because it makes up for the portion that they serve.

*

I think their Fish&Chip at most other joints will be more value for money.
My plate below:

Cost about AUD8.70? From HighPoint Shopping Centre foodcourt. Comes with greens too.

This greens aren’t that good as compared to other places that I’ve tried like at BeebeeQ Chicken (i think thats the name. Cant really remember) at Ivanhoe (went Ivanhoe as our housing agent’s office is there and we had to sign some documents).

Their pasta salad!!

ah was too hungry that we just gobbled up the chicken.. so no photos :P

On our first day, we actually ate at this Japanese place near our place called Ohayo Japanese.

Huge portion.

Like, what’s new. It is so.. so. I actually ordered veggie fried udon, as the others in the menu are fried with beef, pork AND NO FISH OR SEAFOOD.. not even CHICKEN~ D:

(i am not really a meat person just in case you don’t know. I actually don’t eat most meat and it usually makes me puke by just thinking about it :| LIKE LAMB, DUCK, GOAT, FROG, sometimes BEEF and probably many other exotic meats)

For this place, I might go again because bf’s eel rice was pretty not bad.

*

I wont really go for Asian food in Aussie. Maybe because I prefer pasta to rice. I like those Thai Rice Stick Noodles too but the Asian food here cant be compared to Sg’s.

Went to this Thai place there other day which is very far away from Hawthorn.


Had dinner there because we dropped by Uncle Keg’s (Aunty Marie’s relation) house for some gathering thing.

I actually do like this noodle:

Maybe because it is Rice Stick Noodles! But they fry it slightly too sweet. But their stir fried chilli pork is nice though :D veggies? SWEET TOO.

Gosh. I don’t remember thai food being just sweet.

This thai restaurant is apparently really owned by Thais as the people looked Thai. Adding on to that, they have the photo of their KING.

(I guess most of you should know that they really respect their king alot that they will display his photo in their restaurants, blabla. even at Hawker Booths which I have seen during my internship at Pizza Hut QA/QC place at this factory eatery somewhere in Kallang Bahru)

UPDATES! I FOUND A BETTER ONE NEAR MY PLACE! CALLED "ISPICY"
such a cheesy name, right? haha. run by thais.. its pretty good.
and one more.. which i really can't remember where!
i remember that we were commenting about how much better it was.

Tried this SG Restaurant called The Old Raffles Place, owned by this Singapore couple.


Didnt take photos of the food though because were sitting with amm. People that I am not so close with. Was again, a dinner with U Keg and the family, brother and family, and also with U Jeff (Bf’s dad’s brother), U Collin (U Jeff’s companion), Ben (Bf’s cousin) & Aileen (Ben’s wife)

They celebrated myself & bf’s birthday in advance because Bryan’s dad and A Marie is leaving for SG soon (they are already back like long ago. 21st June?)

They surprised us with two birthday cakes (: so sweet of them right? Sponsored by U Jeff. But I guess, like of course the idea comes from Bf’s dad or maybe A Marie too.

:)

UPDATE ABOUT OLD RAFFLES PLACE

tried their seafood laksa.. and i love it! (dont compare it w katong laksa tho.. its a different type!)

Time for the westieeee food.
