LITTLE LITTLE INDIA

Starts my singapore adventure!

FIRST STOP : Little India

why? because my new friend, Nicole suggested to go there

she wanted to try indian food

together with sharon and another hong kong exchange student

to be frank, this is my first time to little india

it is full of indian obviously 

when we reached there, it is already lunch time

so, guess what? i brought them to try MAMAK

indian temple in little india

we didn't manage to go in

but busy taking photo! =)

yeah

i ordered a dosai masala

in fact i dont  know what is masala at first 

it is actually potato

this cost me 2.80

which is a bit pricy according to the others

not really special, just normal

nicole has a cheese prata 

sharon has a onion prata

i realised that in singapore they don't called it ROTI CANAI but PRATA

anyway it is the same thing

then we pay a visit to the LITTLE INDIA ARCADE

there are many shops

selling all sorts of things : food, snacks, clothes, bags...

Nicole did a tattoo with henna that costs her $3

a nice tattoo

there is a shop selling many snacks

super cheap

i bought choco drink and biscuit plus a umbrella! 

it is a nice trip!

good experience! 

maybe next time should go chinatown! =)

Chocolate heaven!

So, we went to Yarra valley

How can we not going to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery 

Free chocolate tasting! FOC! Take as much as u can!

Full of chocolate store!

Hurray

There is a cafe beside the store

All PINK! 

This is our lunch + high tea

Chocolate! Chocolate! And chocolate!

Am I in heaven?

 Chocolate fondue for two!

Got a lot of things to dip!

Marshmallow, strawberries no banana are still the best

Chocolate dip with honey comb is too sweet

Dip with nought is too hard

We choose milk chocolate but I think dark chocolate will be better!

Apple crumble with vanilla

Not really special

Oh ya, every dessert ordered comes with a small cup of chocolate!

Unfortunately we are not allowed to choose which type of chocolate we want!

Waffle!

A normal one!

But i think the waffle is not too sweet, just nice!

Chicken pie!

Since my grandparents prefer savory stuff 

Not nice at all!

Too creamy inside!

White chocolate!

Sweet treat for myself!

Way too sweet!

Perhaps next time come here (if I have the chance) will go for dark chocolate instead

Valley chocolate tea

No chocolate smell at all

Hopetoun is way better!

Anyway, nice place to try out!

The view is magnificent !

Bought something!

Guess what it is!

I showed my dad he say is chocolate, eating chocolate!

LIP GLOSS!

QV market Doughnut ~ American Doughnut Kitchen

finally i tried it!
purposely go to QV market for it!
today's queue is not that long
i guess less than 5 minutes! (i went at 12 pm)

so, this is how it looks like

JAM doughnut !

$1.10

it is really puffy!
a bit too sweet for me
however, the sad part is the the jam is too little, only in a corner

and this is the van/truck used for years!

took a photo with it!

although it is a sunny day, the strong wind makes us feel so cold!
no wonder when we watch NYC movies, people wear thick clothes during sunny day
because of the wind!
i am getting used to melbourne's weather yet leaving soon
so sad!

Cheapest {Brown} bagel

Found this place from urbanspoon

Checked the price and surprisingly it is cheap!

A bagel costs around $9

That's probably the cheapest bagel I can find in Melbourne!

I think the staff are from Korea, very friendly

I asked what bagel that he recommended and he said ONION!

This is the first time I see onion bagel!

Usually it is poppy seed, wholemeal, plain.... But no onion 

They have cheese as well

So this is my roast beef with onion bagel!

Very filling

A bit like burger

$9.5

Actually I came here with LiPoh, a collage friend who came all the way from Sydney

He had Angus beef

Which I think it is really delicious, although I didn't try, it looks good

He said it is special!

The place is quite small and I took a while to find this place!

But it is surrounded my cafes and restaurant

A bit like hardware lane

The address = 330 Collins St Shop 10 Equitable Pl

Something COLD!

#throwback

It is time for ice cream

I know it is winter but ice cream is still awesome!

GELATO MESSINA!
Another famous place at Fitzroy!

Obviously also from UrbanSpoon

Too many choices! Don’t know which one to choose

The queue is long, but I still don’t know which one to choose

At the end, I choose the MIGHTY GM GUM

I think it contain alcohol and it likes chocolate!

Elaine choose LYCHEE

The lychee is a sorbet

Cooling and nice. It should be sold in Malaysia because it will be super popular

We took a 2 scopes in a cup which cost us $6

N2 Extreme gelato!

We still want gelato !!

N2 = nitrogen

I ate the similar concept ice cream/gelato in Malaysia – NBrew

The menu is so special

Drawn on wall!

But that also means not many choices

Anyway, we ordered a “O” cheesecake!

It is cheesecake gelato, middle got Oreo crush

Topped with white chocolate with a syringe of chocolate

Mouth-watering!

So nice!

The shop’s design is very special

No tables and chairs, instead, got LAWN!!

We are laying on a bed made of grass

Speical Ice Coffee @ The League of Honest Coffee

Have you tried ice coffee served in a bowl?
ice coffee without ice? instead have ice cream?
i found this wonderful place for it!

Ice coffee!

no ice! but use ice cream to replace

so special

comes in a bowl then i use a straw to suck it

actually it taste better if you suck the coffee through the ice cream

sweeter! 

this is when the ice cream melts

beautiful coffee

Blueberry with chocolate muffin

it taste great eating with coffee!

both of us shared one

it is very near QV ~ 8 Exploration Lane 

actually Rebecca recommended this place

we went there during lunch hour yet it is packed

god blessed and we found a place

many people take away too

there is a selection of cakes and tarts

all looks so nice!

this is a nice place to have coffee and chat

the environment is so comfortable and the staff are friendly

the only thing is the heater cannot really bring me warm

maybe also because i was sitting near the door!

this is my last catch up with Rebecca before she head back to SG tmr

to me, Rebecca is always like a BIG Sister

as the eldest in my family, i hope that i have a sister just like her

i thank God that i met her in Melbourne

through her, i see and learnt a lot

i love her spirit towards God

she is always full of energy for anything regarding God

i love her testimony especially

it is encouraging and her is just like my role model in the journey to know GOD more

i was amazed how dedicate she is into church and Christianity

i love her so much!

although we only know for less than 3 months

it feels like we have known for long

i will definitely miss her very much!

a bit emo right now, sending of my friends one by one~

i have Hope when i am at HOPETOUN TEA ROOM

i now know it is lunch time
but we really want to have cakes and tarts
Cloud found this place and she really wanted to try
although need to queue, we still wanted to try
because it looks really nice!!

OMG, so many!

i don't know which one to choose!

actually i keep changing and replace the cakes and tarts

i think there is more than 20 options

the shop is really small

it is painted with green

actually great make the area small

but because there is a large mirror

the whole shop looks bigger!

nice and awesome design

very Europe style

where is TEA, there is HOPE!

no wonder this place called Hopetoun!

I had a Apple & raspberry crumble

a bit disappointed

just normal crumble

the crust is a bit to thick

Elaine's Raspberry Pistachio Cheesecake

so called the MUST TRY

cheesecake is quite smooth

yet i bit too sweet 

Chocolate Marquise

not really special

just normal chocolate cake

three cakes for three of us!

girls really love cakes and tarts!

it is sort of a must for us!

all the cakes are $9.5 each

cakes and I =)

Selfie-time!

this will be my last meal with cloud in Melbourne 

before she head back to malaysia later

i will miss her very much!
