Sweet Little Post

And now..

Some Sugar Rush

******************************

One of my favourite patisserie..

Laurent.

(but i think their Macaron standard drop! and they increase the price too. Like just recently.)

*

Pistachio Creme Brulee.

You see that red thing sandwiched between the pistachios and the creme brulee?

I didnt really like that strawberry jam initially..

but, after awhile I felt that it gives the balance of sour, sweet and saltiness to this fine dessert.

Will prefer this over the classic creme brulee.

Monte Carlo

Chocolate Mousse,Creme Brulee Coffee, Chocolate Flourless Biscuit, Milk Chocolate & Dark Chocolate Glaze.

It's light and fluffy!

The creaminess is just right.. love the taste of coffee in it. Gives a good balance of bitterness to the sweet tasting mousse.

The single size serve.

The one that we bought.

Next,

Dacquoise

Flourless hazelnut sponge with chocolate cream.

What can I say.. it's hazelnut. Mmmmm.

Love the crunchiness for the topping and yepppp.The mousse is so light.

Heaven (:

Hazelnutty!!!

Their single size serve.

I think, desserts are one of the most wonderful creation of mankind. Agree?

Photos to tickle your appetite!

Especially...

If its late at night

and

you're feeling hungry

and

you know that you shouldnt be eating.

YAY!

One of my favourite Fast Food joint in Melbourne..

(GrillD is still my favourite! i think..)

Love their Peri-Peri fries...
it's salty but ADDICTIVE!

their wrap?

Supremo Chicken Wrap
supposed to have cream cheese! But I dont seem to taste it :S

FAIL. FAIL. FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

but their BBQ Thigh Pieces were awesomeeee.

love their Peri Peri Extra Hot Sauce!

Bf and I always finish almost half of the big bottle!!!! It reminds us of the chicken rice chilli back in SG.

They sell the take-home sauces... but we thought it will be too expensive as we will probably finish one whole bottle for a meal :S because it comes in a small lil bottle.

****

The other day,

we shared the Two's a Party meal.
wheee. lovely.

I kinda like their cous cous... but the inital taste wasnt that good. the spices seemed kinda weird.

but after a while, i grew to kinda like it.

but it's Peri Peri fries for me anytime!

Nandos :)

Food for thought.

Do you know that Free-Range eggs are healthier? And of course, Organic eggs will be the best.

Hello Kitty House D:

As I was Yahoo-ing for Hello Kitty,

I found these!!!!

In an ebullient mood, I tapped on Bf's hand,

"Look! Look! So pretty right?!?!"

His response?

"NO!"

Owwww.

I guess I might have to marry a girly lady to have my house be decorated this way.

Either that,

or I shall pray that my future kid is a FEMALE! no Y chromosomes pleaseeeee.

Y CHROMOSOMES

then,

my future husband can't stop me from having sucha rooooom.

the daughter's room at least :)

Black Sesame Paste & the pre-prep for the Cheesecakeeeeeeee

wanted to bake muffins today.. but didnt get enough sour cream :(

wanted to bake cheesecake today.. but didnt get enough cream cheese :(

i even went out to the supermarket to grab a packet of graham cracker for the cheesecake base D:

so.

at 2am, i've decided on an Asian dessert -

Black Sesame Paste.

love it since i was young.

its black and doesnt look appetizing, but it's good!

am probably a neophilia since young so i love trying out new food!

*dont ask me about exotic animals because i dont! ok. more like im a lil-animal eater. used to eat them though when i was young. deers, crocodiles, ducks, frogs, pigeons, blablabla.

anyway,

had bf to try the black sesame dessert one day and he loves it too :D

*

how was my black sesame? FIRST ATTEMPT!

i was kinda lazy to sieve the black sesame seeds and all....... so it was kinda. rough.

but after cooking, i blended them again for like 20-30mins and now its smoooothalicious.

not much of a paste actually because had to prepare to suit bf's liking

WHY?

i dont wanna be the only one drinking!!! D:

and i will get so fat that my family will probably thought that i ate their daughter up.

*

while waiting for the black sesame to boil, i had prepared...

the base for tomorrow's baking list!

CHEESECAKE!

can't wait can't wait!

but i dread going to the supermarket tomorrow just for the cream-cheese. ARGH.

too lazy to step outta the house~~~ :| ta-tah.

UP

Watch UP trailer HERE!

Nice Waiter, UP, rants

Hi again (:

My holidays had been pretty good so far. Been cooking and I love experimenting with food :P

Have not started on the baking yet because OUR FRIDGE IS FULLLLL.

But probably tomorrow will be making cheesecakeeee. WHEEEEE.

Will be hanging out with my classmates on Monday (YAY!) so you can expect more REAL photos. As in like with me inside :P

I know you miss me, dont ya?

*

The other day bf, ben & aileen (& myself of course!) went over to La Porchetta at South Yarra..

LOOK:

Yay. this Aussie guy working there gave them to me :P

I had requested for my last slice of pizza to be packed and so he gave me more bread rolls to fill the box up :D

bf was like complaining, "Girls alway get everything they want.."

& i agree :D

it's usually easier for girls to request for things. being a girl rocks!

*

And after our dinner, I had my virgin 3-D experience...

yay!

The movie "UP"

was a really heartwarming movie.. and there's a deep meaning to it -

about letting go of the past.

to live at the very moment.

i've been through some kind of pain previously.. was towards the suicidal side. it was because of my family that im still breathing. i know, i know, i am living for other people which shouldnt be the case. but im learning to live for myself.

and of course, bf saved me too. he wasnt my bf previously but he saved me from that agony and made me believe in love again. love my bf.

thank god i gave love another chance.

it was like during that dark period, i was a pessimistic girl. i also slept very little. and cried almost every day.

and i love my friends who stayed by me.. like my bestie and also people like pearlyn, peter who came over to my house at most nights to accompany me :)

and all my other good friends too.

love them :)

it lasted for nearly a year? i think. couldnt remember and i dont care anymore.

those who knew me back then and been following my blog would have known about this through my rants

however,

through that painful incident, i feel that i became stronger (i think). but whatever it is, i am grateful for that experience..

anyhow, it does makes life more interesting, doesnt it?

so, sweethearts, always remember to move on with life.

*

back to UP,

i think sg had alrdy finished screening this movie, so do rent the DVD, download, anything!

it's really worth watching. not too kiddy kiddy.

it's quite much of an adult animation kind.

love this cute chubby little thing :D

Lindt, Lord Of Fries & Exams

YUPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

my post exam:

chilled at Lindt Cafe.. alone though because after having lunch with Bf, he had to meet his friend for his project.

so well,

the lonely me went to Lindt anyway~ wanted to reward myself for my harddd work.

had their Waffle!

topped with Vanilla Bean Ice-creammmmmmmmm.

the ice-cream was sooo good. there is a slight vanilla bean mouthfeel and the essence of it is stronggg.

im salivating by the thought of it :P

the waffles? i still prefer Gelare's.

though theirs is smaller and thinner.

I like the fact that they had this lil jug of warm chocolate sauce to accompany with my waffles. not like the usual sauce drizzled over sorta thing.

well, its AUD15 anyway. *OUCH* so i guess that is why they have to serve the sauce separately!

i was so busy pouring the sauce to my every spoonful of waffle bites.. slurrrp.

*

ah. wasnt hungry for dinner.

so have decided to try the Mini Burger from..

The Vegetarian Burger!!

it's so tiny that the guy at the booth was telling me how tiny it was. because probably he's like wondering if i would like to change to the REGULAR size.

but the fact is,

im not hungry! just eating for my gastric sake.

i think some guys can just finish it in one bite :O

and yes. it's vegetarian!

i am not a fan of being a vegetarian despite the fact that i dont eat quite alot of other meat like:

• COWS (only at times)
• LAMBS/SHEEPS
• GOATS
• DEERS
• RABBITS
• FROGS
• and many many others

some of you should have already known

its because i love them and they are too cute to be eaten!

i eat chicken because i dont want to be too difficult!

it will be so troublesome to be a vegan.. or even ovo-vegan, lacto-vegan..

im considered a semi-vegetarian (eats chicken and fish & dairy products)..

yes! its a proper term! a pesco-vegetarian are those that eats only fish & dairy products. just studied them in my "Food: Culture & Innovation" subject.

adding to that,

and im also surprised that there's quite a number of Aussies who are vegetarian! or probably just in my class (taking Dietitian course, that's why! they are health conscious and all..)

*

back to the burger

it's surprisingly good!!!

they called one of the ingredient in their patty that creates the taste and texture of a beef patty: "Textured Vegetable Protein"

You can read more about their burgers HERE.

the burger is tasty and doesnt taste at all Vegetarian!

To my aussie mates reading, you should try it one day! they have claimed that its a very low in fat burger. except that the condiments just spoil it. but i guess, its the condiments that add to the tastiness of the burger!!!

anyway, a screenshot of the size of the Mini burger:

that's what i did on the day when my exams have officially ended!!

of course, i also went for window shopping and i did my eyebrow shaping too at Seri (few months of not shaping! did a lil trimming on my own but its still messy >:|)

ah. didnt know they were gonna wax it! but it wasnt that bad.. and in fact its not as painful as using a tweezer!

mum been helping me shape my eyebrow as im too scared to do it on my own. and I have even attended such courses before!

*************************

ANYWAY!

my NEW semester is starting in like 3 weeks time. Well, thats beside the point. shall enjoy my holidays while it last~

im seriously am very worried about my Chemistry papers though.. :( dead worried. there's not enough time for me to complete everything! was feeling quite miserable yesterday despite the fact that my EXAMS ARE OVER. even the yummy food didnt cheer me up! was ok in the evening.. probably when the phenylethylamine is finally acting up.

oh well, the holidays are here...

shall enjoy every single moment!!

time to prepare for dinner!!!
