Brunch @ Hammer & Tong

#throwback!
Finally here!
I wanted to come here for long but didn’t have time and nobody to come with
Elaine and I went for a food hunt at Fitzroy!

It is listed in the UrbanSpoon list for long
The pictures look so good
Wanted to try for long

According to the review, the breakfast ramen and soft shell carb burger are their best
So we ordered both to try




First, let’s talk about the environment
The shop is located at a place that I won’t notice
Inside it is a bit packed, we waited for 10 minutes for sits
Again, share table!
This time we talked to the girls sitting beside us, they are Malaysian and love food as well
Talked about the life in Australia, they lived here for 6-7 years already
We exchanged phone numbers and hopefully can hang out next time
Nice people, great place to know new people



So this is the SOFT SHELL CARB BURGER!
It is really special
But as u know soft shell carb not no meat but crispy!
Great choice!
$12




Breakfast Ramen!
More like Japanese ramen
Comes with a pot of soup, served in a special way
Hmm… a bit normal, just like normal ramen
Yet, the bacon is thick and yummy!
$15



Great visit to this place
No regrets

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 
The League of Honest Coffee on Urbanspoon

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~

Family Dinner!! =)







it is really warm to sit together and have home cooked food
just like a family
i am glad that i have awesome housemates that are just like my family!

so everyone cook one dish!
Erick didn't cook because he forget about it
anyway, he will be in charged to wash all the dish



luckily Cloud prepared 2 dishes 
japanese curry veggie and egg roll
among of of the girls, Cloud is the best cook


malaysia style fried rice!
by Elaine!


lasagna
Tim's dish
but not cook by him
by his friend
it is a beef lasagna!
awesome




so, this is what i cooked!
i don't know what it should be called
i didn't follow any recipe 
just mix everything i have
generally it is hash potato topped slow-cooked chicken peas, onion with carrot 
to be it is nice
i didn't add oil, sugar or salt
100% natural taste

it is really great to have them as my "family"
we even talked about having FAMILY DINNER every weekends
unfortunately, i won't be around anymore

yet, i need to thank all of my mighty housemates!
they are really cool!
