CAfe CORRETTO

Sometimes eating alone is not pity at all!

I need some private time too

I need some moment to be alone and just keep quiet!

But, I don't really like my surrounding to be quiet

So I like to go to a super packed restaurant to eat!

I am alone but I am surrounded my people!

I like that feeling!

Salmone pasta!

love this!

so fresh!

entree for $12

Miss pasta so much, especially creamy salmone pasta!

Tomorrow will be the first day of my exam!

My first and the last exam in Melbourne university

I am not really stress out as the result won't really affect me!

Since I am sitting for calculus 2 tomorrow, so let's eat fish!

Hmm... Fish is good for my brain and I don't know why but usually before maths exam my mum used to feed me with fish!

Perhaps that's part of the reason I can score quite well in my exams!

Anyway, I crave this for long!

The last time I came to celebrate Rebecca's bday I had this too!

Miss this so much!

Although I wanted to try new food but seriously, I miss this!

Especially in this 9 degrees weather

oh ya, i think the boss love Ferrari very much
you can see all ferrari studd there
but i am not a fan of that!

Mid night Gelatissmo

we are really crazy!!
went out for ice cream at 12 am!
okay, that sounds normal BUT...
the temperature outside is 10 degrees!
ARE WECRAZY??
nope , we are not!
just too stress!

i had rocky road!! super chocolate!! 

okay, having GELATISSIMO in the midnight is really cool
the ice cream won't melt
we joked, played around in the journey
it is really a great and brand new experience!
i don't know i still have how much time left to have fun with them
but i treasure every moment!

thanks for accompany me!

GIRAFFE!!!!

searched online for cakes & dessert!

ended up here!! GIRAFFE CAFE!

i officially started my calculus 2 this morning!!
realised that i cannot do so many questions!
omg!! i am dead this exam!
still got a week to mend!! the only thing i can do now is understand the concept and work hard!
GOD help give me strength!!

after doing maths for hours, time to take a break!!
called GuoSoon see if he still in the city!
and, YES, he is!
so let's have tea!
LiHui joined us too!

this place is really far from melbourne central!
nearer to elizabeth street
it is a shop that usually people won't notice it!
from outside, the shop is small and dark
looks a bit doggy! (sorry to say!)
BUT, inside it is a fantacy!!
like so HOME!!

Did i mentioned that today is GuoSoon's Birthday??

Old liao, 20 already!! haha

opps, his eyes is closed!!

so this is the GREENTEA & CHOCOLATE cheesecake!

it looks nice

to me, nothing very special! NORMAL!

cannot really feel the chocolate!

it cost me $8

Baked Pumpkin Rice

it is filling!

i shared with LiHui

this will be my tea cum dinner!

quite special

the only thing is not enough cheese!

hot chocolate with mashmallow

hmm... i need to say the chocolate is not hot at all!!

anyway, the environment is really awesome
a good place to study, hang out, chit chat
more like a cafe than restaurant
although they do serve mains like pasta, rice, soup....
more on dessert and beverage!


hard to find ~ 302 Little Lonsdale St 

ANJU !! restaurant & bar

it has been a long time i didn't have dinner with my fellow housemates!
so, here we are tonight to take a break from exam!!
this place is really hard to find (actually not, near wonderBao!) 

i guess this place is mainly a bar than a restaurant!
from the name ANJU means Korean side dishes consumed with alcohol
i love the interior! very cosy
there even projectors to play different movies! 
so cool!
the staff are so friendly, mostly korean i think (they look korean)

Braised Pork Belly

the pork belly is really awesome!

this portion is 1 kg!

comes with lettuce, apple kimchi salad & marinated cabbage 

it is really special and delicious

however, the price is a bit pricey for a student

it cost $65 for this set!

we have a wonderful dinner together!!
i miss them you all! =)

Wonder-BAU!

I skipped class!!

I don't have practical for physics this week

So my first class is 1pm

I hevent had lunch! And don't feel like going for class

I just accepted the NUS offer

Having mixed feeling, I am leaving Melbourne, this one of the greatest place on earth!

A bit emo!

So decided to skip chemistry!

I am really lucky that I have a friend like LIHui

She accompanied me! Although she have lunch already!

 So we went to WONDERBAO!

It is one of the best cheap eat! Based on the booklet from uni!

I wanted to go for times but cannot find the place

Yet, this time I managed to find it! It is in a sort of shopping mall, no wonder I cannot find it!

This small little shop sells delicious bao!

There is limited selection of bao!

i heardthat their ssoya milk is nice

it is homemade!

I have a braised pork belly bau with a taro bao

The taro bau is actually for LiHui, she loves taro very much!

The pork belly bau is pretty nice!

Not very salty, I like it!

It costs $4.2 which LiHui and I feel that it is quite expensive 

The taro is $2 but quite weird, I mean the taste!

But this is a good place to hang out!

The view outside the shop is amazing!

It is a art street!

Love this to max!

Relax for an hour then go back uni!

it is in the interior of the building ~ Shop 4/19-37 A'Beckett St 

DUMPLINGS!! XIAO LONG BAU!! Shanghai dumpling street!!

i love dumpling and xiao long bau
so to me today is my best day ever! i have both!!
it really worth queueing for 20 minutes!
DUMPLINGS and XIAO LONG BAU!!!

it's lunch time, 1pm so the queue is pretty long!
3 of us look at hr menu for less than 3 minutes and already made our mind what to order!
throughout the 20 minutes we talked about the inspection on train
okay, i really need to PRAISE THE LORD for this!
stroy begins....

we hopped into the tram at Lincoln square!
three of us was talking about my presentation yesterday
the tram is pretty packed!
there is a man standing behind me, he looks like a gangster like that, i m a bit scared!
then, out of sudden, he turn to the other man and said something then walk towards the lady sitting beside me, asking for her myki card!
SHIT, it is INSPECTION!!
and I didn't tap, immediately i walk to the tap machine(actually just beside me, where the man was standing) and tap my card
the man even tap my shoulder and told me that I am very lucky!
that means I WON"T GET FINES!
fyi, once the tram starts moving, you haven't /don't tap and only tap when the inspection starts, you need to be fine
because you are FREELOADING!!!
actually, the man can just come to check mine but he didn't!
i thank GOD for this! save me $200!
imagine how many nice food i can get with it! =)

back to the DUMPLINGS!!!

this is the pan-fried dumpling

inside it is filled with pork!

so nice!

a plate like this contains 15 dumplings!

we have pan-fried, sure we have steamed!

steam is a healthier choice but both are sooooo awesome!

yet, to me i prefer pan-fried, the "skin" for steam is a bit thick for me!

my favourite--- Xiao Long Bao!

it is really BIG!

JUICY!

comes in 8!

chinese pancake!

lihui's special order!

usually it is with veggie but sean likes bacon

so we have bacon!

hmm... to me, i don't see the difference between korean and chinese pancake
so me it's the same!

everything here is all below $10!
even the noodle and rice is also below $10
with this huge serving, you will be damn full!
I M TOO FULL already !

it is easy to fine, just see the queue : 342 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000

DON TOJO on Wednesday!

i really love Japanese bento!
it is a full course meal!
see, got entree, mains, staple & fruits
it is so healthy
no wonder Japanese can live longer than the rest!

seeing myself through the reflection

so, i came to DON TOJO after my engineering presentation
it is near to the unimelb health centre at cardigan
i reached here at 12.15 yet it is packed already
luckily i found a spot to sit
fyi, sharing table is pretty normal in melbourne especially in self-served restaurant

of course, i ordered bento since i love it so much
it comes with sukiyaki beef and terikayi chicken
the sukiyaki beef taste pretty well
but the terikayi chicken is a bit bitter (PS: I also don't know why!)

the bento set is really HUGE!
i cannot finish the rice
this set cost me $9 which is a reasonable price for a bento

i saw people ordered curry katsu don that is about $6+
but i am sure that it is cheaper than the one in union house - EGG

it is a good place for quick lunch
not a place for you and your friends to hang out
it is so awkward to let people to stand beside you to wait for your table!

as uni melb students, it is definitely a place you MUST COME!
it is not hard to get here ~ 164 Cardigan St, Carlton VIC 3053
