Chocolate time !! Lindt

#throwback : last day in melbourne (13.7.2014)

Lindt chocolate is amazing!

But have you tried Lindt chocolate lounge/bar?

I went to the Collins outlet

Lindt is more expensive than san churrous and max bender

Actually  I bought the groupon voucher which have 50% discount ! Save money!

It is a high tea for 2 voucher

Contain a chocolate platter with 2 hot beverage

Since we are at chocolate bar HOT CHOCOLATE is a MUST

so this is more like a self make hot chocolate!

Hot chocolate and milk is given seperatly 

Then more the amount of chocolate I want in the cup and add milk

In order word, I can control the concentration of my hot chocolate

The only thing is I cannot choose which type of chocolate

Nice try

 Chocolate platter

Brownie. Ice cream. Macaroon. 

Chocolate cakes. Chocolate syrup. Chocolate.

All chocolate

Heaven to me!

To be frank, I think this can share among 3

It is really great to try!

I went there with my best buddy!

This will be the last time my outing with guosoon in Melbourne 

He is always be with me rain or shine

I am glad that I have him all the time

Thank you for coming to cbd almost every weekends to visit me

Because of him, my Melbourne life is amazing!

Thanks, pal! BFF!

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

HOme? what's that?

to me, staying at this place called "home" is not happy at all
when i was in Australia, i hope that i can be at HOME
be surrounded by people that love me
i look forward to go HOME

now i am at HOME
but happiness doesn't come to me instead desaster!
i am literally not happy at  all
why? too many reasons

1. not peaceful at all
HOME should be my sheild, a place that i am 100% comfortable with
yet, this place is only filled with quarrels, arguements....
no trace of peace can be found
i try to avoid by not giving any comments or keep my mouth shut
but, it doesn't help, making the situation worst

2. need to plea everybody
i thought HOME suppose to me a place where i can be my true self
i don't need to wear a MASK and hide my feeling
my so called FAMILY will accept who I am
i am WRONG, totally WRONG
i not only need to hide my feelings and wear a super FAKE MASK but need to be very careful of every single word i used
i need to say things that my FAMILY wants to hear and not my opinion although they ask for my "opinion"

3. no space for me
i thought my things will remain as i leave
when i saw my wardrode is messy and full of my sis's clothes
when i notice that my table is filled with empty plastic bags
my bed is untidy and things that belogs to my beother are all over it
i know i am WRONG again

4.warm? i feel cold
yes, the weather is super hot compare to melbourne
however, my heart is COLD, super cold
everything that i do seems to be wrong
the way i talk, the way i stand.... even the way i dry my clothes
i am not accepted by my family
can u imagine the my mum asked me
"WHY YOU JUST CAME BACK THEN U QUARREL WITH UR SIS?"
everybody don't like you
feel ike crying but i don't even dare to cry

5. mum
i know i shouldn't but still i cannot stop myself
the centre peoblem of the whole thing is deal with my mum
whenever i said something that doesn't make her happy she will reply
"u thought u are very smart, you are just a student, using my money to study & enjoy. if you are not happy just go back. i didn't want u to come back also!"

perhaps, only God can tolerate me
in this house, there will always have a space for me
He will accept who I am and provide whatever that i need
though Him i found peace and warm
yet, He is the only who asked me  to come back, why is He treating me like this?

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
