Ms: Helloooooooo Hellooooooo

Holla people!!

A photo of us to remind you how our faces look like~ haha!

Ahnyeong! I'm back to my blog =) Both of us has been super duper busy for the past few weeks, especially during spring break and I thought I can wake-up-everyday-and-not-do-anything-at-all. So here's a quick update on what I've been doing during my two week holidays~

.......

-Barista Course-

Melbourne's coffee culture is so happening that I've been influenced! I used to only drink Mocha but since drinking coffee is a must here so I've decided to learn more about coffee and so, I booked myself a two days barista course. 

Latte and cappuccino to start the class with

My first cappuccino and latte, not meant to be consume xD

First attempt to do coffee art, total disaster xD

Wheeee~ having fun =D

My one and only considered successful latte art made unaware-ly

Went to a one off clubbing event 'Neverland' in Crown, drink drank drunk.

First eww! ABC Bomb

Second eww! ABC

Banana Cake made from old school rice cooker

-Royal Melbourne Show-

Met up le pretty babe for brunch, brought her to Manchester Press for bagels and good coffee. Then we went to Royal Melbourne Show! She came to visit again but at this moment while I'm writing this she's probably off to airport on the way back to KL already.

Yay to good recommendation ^^ Such a coincidence she loves bagel too

That's it for today~ Please do not mind my low quality pictures, I have no time to edit so I had to use what I've got from my phone. So many things to blog about yet so much other things to do... busy busy busy!

Luna 1878 Winter Market 2nd Visit

Wayyy overdue post! We went to Luna 1878 Winter Market again, it's the last winter market of the year. This time we knew what to eat so we went straight to queue for it.

Mr had Pull Pork Burger

 Look at the meattt

Ms finally got to satisfy her craving for soupy bread

\

Us and Our food~

Creme Brulee

Cannoli with Custard filling

Bigne served with Chocolate Sauce

As expected, the last day of the event, it was filled with even more people compared to our previous visit. And the stores that we bought our food was queing like mad, especially the soup in the bun. Overall the food was pretty good, mainly the Pull Pork burger and the 'soup in the bun'. Even though the bun was actually really tough and hard (it would be perfect if it was slightly softer), we still love what was served INSIDE of the bun.

And this time, we had more desserts!!! They were all yummehhhhh. And as usual, once Mr had something nice, he will go back for the same thing and refuse to try the others. So...he had his banana waffle with ice-cream again. Hehe!

This is pretty much what happened that night. Cant wait for next year's winter market! And sorry for being so slow with all the updates and the inactive-ness lately, we're pretty busy with 'something' *suspicious*. So stay tune and keep following us and you will know what is that 'something' in the near future =D

FOMO Thai

Mr's friend is in Melbourne for his  holiday, he felt like eating Thai so we suggested FOMO Thai since none of us has been there before. Tom yum soup, kang kung belacan, thai fish cake, pandan chicken, green curry chicken etc, usually these are the dishes that we'll order whenever we dine in a thai restaurant but Fomo Thai is not your typical thai restaurant, they have a range of street food in their menu too.

Sitting tables and a long bar table

Fear Of Missing Out

Attention to details

Here comes our food:

Yum Ped Krob

Thai style crispy duck salad

Gai Yang Ha Dao

Char-grilled "Five Star" chicken served with sweet chilli sauce and 'Nam Jim Jeaw'

You've heard of Five Star Restaurants, Five Star Hotels and now we've got Five Star Chickens! Apparently Gai Yang Ha Dao (literally roasted chicken five star) is Thailand's own brand of take-away fast food, it is located everywhere and the locals love it. Next trip to Thailand besides the usual Tom Yum and Pad Thai now you know you've got another food to look out for!

Fried Sticky Rice Balls as an alternative to plain rice

Tom Yum Goong Ma Praw Aon

Spicy, sweet and sour soup of king prawns, mussels and mixed mushrooms

Pad Ped Pla Duke Tod Krob

Crispy deep fried catfish with red curry

Group pic ^^

Everyone agreed that it was a satisfying dinner! All four of the dishes were very delicious but the grilled chicken was our most favourite among all =D Rank number two for Mr is the red curry fish whereas rank number two for Ms is the duck salad! Even thou the red curry sounds spicy but in fact the spicy-ness is still tolerable. As for the duck salad, the sour dressing definitely boost our appetite that night but becareful of the small chillies that's hiding somewhere in the salad, it can 'burnt' your tongue if you get a taste of it. 

Actually there's this one ultimate dish that we were sooooo tempted to order, it's one of FOMO Thai's signature dishes and it's all over the review, most of the tables that night had this dish too. It's called Moo Krob Tod, roasted pork bellies served with three specialty sauces. How to resist the calling of crispy roasted pork bellies!? Too bad there's just four of us and half portion is not an option so yeah.. till next time =(

Winery Hopping In Mornington

*Photo Post*

Few weeks ago we went for a road trip to Mornington! 

First stop: Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove

Different type of olive oil free to taste

Let's get drunk!

List of wines for tasting

Sighhh only a small gulp per each wine, how to get drunk?

Bottoms up

We were suppose to be in there having our lunch =(

Second stop: Paringa Estate

Third stop: Port Philip Estate

We had our lunch in Port Philip Estate, our first choice was initially to have lunch in Montalto but it's fully booked when we got there. Another lesson learnt, always make reservation before going anywhere to dine. So we immediately call up Port Philip Estate to make a reservation for an hour later and lucky us there's still empty table, so here we are.

Complimentary appetizer

Roasted rabbit loin, braised leg, celeriac,radish

Crispy skin pork belly, cheek and trotter sausage, heirloom vegetables

Quail, caramelized onion tart, quince and crispy potatoes

Roasted partridge, spaetzle, cavolo nero, mushrooms, Madeira jus

Fillet of Patagonian tooth fish, caviar black lentil, clams, cavolo nero, beure blanc

Fillet of Gippsland beef, braised cheek, root vegetable puree, red wine jus

Flinders Island lamb cutlets, tarragon crusted neck, peppers, black garlic

Abalone look alike pear dessert

In the end, the lunch turned out to be just fine, mostly because of the view and the company. The food wasn't too bad but it was a mutual agreement that it wasn't worth the money and we would not visit this restaurant again. We believed that with the same amount of money we're paying, other winery restaurants nearby such as Montalto and Paringa Estate would be more tummy-satisfying. 

Plus, from the moment we sat down till we left the place, the lunch took us about 3 hours. We do not know why but their services was sooooo slow. If it wasn't because we have our kakis there to chit-chat, it will be such a frustrating experience having to wait so long for our food tobe served and its not like the restaurant was super busy.

Fine dining is not just about the quality of the food, its about the full dining experience. From food to service to enviroment. Basically the only good component in the equation is their enviroment. Other then that, it was a little disappointment.
