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! =)

College Meal : AWESOME!!

College food is sucks?
I BEG TO DIFFER!!

see what i have for my dinner and breakfast?
i need to admit that is doesn't taste good but is freaking delicious!
we have many choices
5 menu for us to choose!
indian, muslim, vegetarian, chinese & western!
i heard that every month still got theme dinner!
that's awesome!

food served is healthy as well
i am allowed to customize my own meal as well
i can go for a healthier option with brown rice and request for more veggie!
every food there is a portion recommended
this helps me to make a better choice!

most importantly the auntie and uncle are super friendly
they will introduce me the tasty food!
they are more like my grandparents! asking me to eat more!
so good!

Brunch under $10? Green refectory

#throwback : 11.07.2014

The shop is not green at all!

Remember that day on hammer and tong, I met 2 Malaysian girls, they recommended me this place

It is quite far

So, since daddy is driving, so why want to eat in the city?

The environment is very cosy

We are lucky that we can find a table for 6

This is the first brunch I have with my family in Melbourne

Hurray!

Breakfast stack

their famous

basically they replace bun with potato!

Lentil burger

Beef burger

Latte  & Mocha

they are just normal

won't come here just for coffee

Best pizza?? 400 Gradi!

BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!

I forget who told me, but it is in the must try list!

It is quite far although it is at lygon street 

FYI, in Australia one street can takes up to 10+km

So it is actually 4km from cbd 

It takes a long journey without a car

Hence, I go with my family 

Ps: the price is not very cheap so need ATM, hehe

Initially I wanted to eat last Friday for dinner

I called in the afternoon yet was told it was fully booked and the only time available for this week is only Sunday 815pm (they even specific the time)

Anyway, first time here!

So this is it!

Margarita pizza!

This is the FAMOUS here

Every table has one!

This is the pizza that it rated BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD

I know it doesn't look mouthwatering

A bit disappointed on the presentation

It is different from the traditional pizza

The crust is special

Very crispy corner with a bit soggy base!

Taste like roti parta!

Bacon with olive pizza!

This one got meat

Only the crust is special

Not really worth the money

Each pizza cost $20+

Seafood pasta!

Daddy feel like ordering something order than pizza

I need to say the seafood is quite fresh 

Yet, the pasta is not really nice

To me, a bit to hard and I cannot choose the pasta that I want

So this will be my last dinner in Melbourne, sounds so sad

I am not prepared to leave!

But, no regret I tried!

Because now I am proud to say I ate the BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!

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

again UNIVERSAL , but Lunch!

usually we need to queue
maybe it is winter break so not many people! Hurray
it is one of the cheaper restaurants near uni so normally it is packed
this is my second visit here!
however, this is much better!

so, lunch date with collage mates, actually they are not my classmates but jaymus's
LiHui, Joshua & Weithong (comes from perth) had lunch with me today

there is lunch set
only cost $10 for small pizza with a drink
or $13 for entree pasta with a drink

Chicken Parma

have cheese on top but no additional sauce!

big piece too!

i love the chips (beer battered!)

$14

so, again, CHICKEN AVOCADO!

this time, creamier! 

but a bit to creamy to me!

i ordered the lunch set!

worth the money!

Chicken Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce

this is what it is famous with

i tried last time as well

but so so big portion!

the sauce to me still okay!

LiHui only have half of it!

$14

it is on lygon ~ 139-141 Lygon St Carlton VIC 03053

photo session!

nice catch up with them 

NEXT STOP : HABOUR TOWN
