Dissapointment

I was so excited to go back to the Vic night market. Little did I know that it would be closed. Our little group wandered around the empty streets like a bunch of lost sheep until we arrived at Coconut house, an apparently popular Malaysian restaurant. I ordered the BBQ and Hainanese chicken with rice. It took almost an hour to arrive, and when it did, it was luke warm.



This was not what I wanted! I was all set for honey dumplings, chorizo sausages and eating my way through vic market. This meal upsets me.

Next week. Night market. Its on.

2010 Xmas

Its not xmas until we stuff ourselves. This time round I actually contributed by supplying the spring rolls. It took FOREVER to make!

Pavlova

Is there a better way to celebrate xmas than with a home made dessert? My mother in law made this delicious Pav. Soooo good!

Breakfast in Williamstown

Delicious! There is no better way to start off a day (of shopping no less) than a warm muffin with some delicious thick cream.

Nunawading Peking Duck

Its not everyday that I am in the burbs of Nunawading, so when I heard that there was an amazing Peking Duck place I was all for it.

The place in Nunawading was alright, but expensive, and the duck was a bit dry. Unfortunately I have been too spoilt - after Old Kingdom there is no comparison.

Lets get nekkid! (for Satan)

Ok keep your clothes on, I'm talking about Naked for Satan, a tapas/bar in Fitzroy that recently opened. The food are all served on toothpicks ("Pintxos") which are available for you to grab as many as you like. Eat your fill, and at the end, bring up your toothpicks and pay at the counter. They are currently running a special where pintxos are 50 cents each during lunchtime on weekdays. Since I had Friday off, I took this as a Sign that I was meant to spend 2 hours eating as much food as I could on little toothpicks. Check out a sample of the pintxos consumed below.

So full!

Miyako Teppanyaki

I can't believe its taken this long for me to try teppanyaki! For a xmas get together I had dinner at Miyako Teppanyaki in Southbank. We each ordered the teppanyaki, which was a banquet course full of delicious food and games.


For entree I had the sushi. So delicious. It just made me miss Japan :(

If you order the trio of meat you will get lamb, beef and chicken. Look at the awesome cuts of beef!

Flambé!


The beef was soft and tender, and cooked to each patron's liking. There was a lot of butter used which made it all the more delicious. We also had to catch food in our mouths, which I failed dismally at. I was more successful at catching ricebowls, including one filled with fried rice, so that was lucky (for me and everyone else around me). Teppanyaki is great fun and warrants a return visit!
