FAT FRIDAYS

so, knowing me, i have been going on a lot of food adventure in the last month but haven't blogged about it so here it is, a bootiful compilation.


So on the last friday of exam week, Annie and I decided to head out to the city after our orals to go food gawking. There was the friday markets at Chinatown so Annie became my guide for the food adventure.


Our first stop was this nice food booth in Chinatown that sold Japanese Pancakes. To me it looked like a bigger version of a custard ball with a nice waffle shell. They had 4 flavours available: Red bean, Green Tea, Custard, Cheese, and with a price of 3 for $5, it was a pretty good deal. We got 2 Green Teas and One Custard - for Annie's sis- and the Green Tea tasted absolutely nice. 

Then we went to Hana Hana, a jap restaurant at the far end of Chinatown. I've been there before on a trip with the group but never got to eat anything because i was pressed for time, so decided to go dine there. The restaurant is very spacious, with two levels; one for savoury meals and upstairs is like a dessert room.

We ordered the Beef Okonomiyaki, which was like a Jap savoury pancake which was so absolutely nice for such a little price and also got Tempura Flakes and Red Ginger as free sides. And they had a reall good system there as well; if you clean your table up and put all the bowls onto one of the designated shelves, you are able to collect stamps and, once you reach 5, you can give free soba with the next meal. It's a pretty good initiative i reckon. 

Then we went upstairs cause Annie wanted to show me the Mochi waffles.

We grabbed the Strawberry Mochi Waffle, which came with icecream and whipped cream for around $6. It tasted really nice so I guess it was worth the price. 

We then went to Regents Place, a small alleyway which is rich in good authentic food of different backgrounds. Since the day became a little Jap cuisin adventure, Annie took me to Chanoma Cafe, which specializes in pretty much EVERYTHING green tea.

Although it also sells hotdogs, it was our first time coming here to order dessert so we ordered the Matcha Frape ($5.80) and the Matcha Fruit Anmitsu ($6.90)

Annie's fab photo again!

Although it looked so appetizing, we didn't think it was that great. The Matcha Frappe is quite bitter- maybe a good thing for the Matcha freaks- and although the top of the Anmitsu looked amazing, underneath was filled with plain jelly cubes and the thick syrup was not much help. The small bowl was not worth the $6.90 price to be honest. 

And then i got pressed on time and had to leave again hahas. But that marks me and Annie's first food adventure wootdawoooooot.

yesterday was me and kim's food adventure number idek hahas. 
We initially wanted to go on the monorail because we had a coupon that would expire today, and I wanted to show her some nice food at the friday markets, but we ended up adlib-ing our trip.

we went to get our 1litre meetfresh first as our drink. Which costed us $6. It was quite worth the price but the dodgy cup ended up breaking and spilted some of the drink on our way walking to the monorail.

I also took Kim to buy the Jap pancakes and we got the the Red Bean, Green Tea, and Custard one. The Red Bean tasted okay but we prefered the Green Tea above all. 

Also snacked at Maccas hahahas.

Went 1 and a half circles on the monorail and half of our trip was in a carriage by ourselves so it was pretty fun and we made a documentary hahahs. 

Then hiked back to Bankstown to get some froyo even though our stomachs could barely fit anymore. 

fun times on fat fridays :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIEEEE.

So on Friday the whole group went to celebrate Steph's birthday, YAAAY. ahahas well not the whole group because so many didn't come. yeah, party poopers. 
it was Steph (ahahas of course), Maddie, Kristie, Angel, Linda, Jasmine, Sarah, Jess, Chenzo, and me :)

So we all wanted to go meet at Town Hall but, when we got there, Sarah dragged us to this pretty cool shop at Town Hall called Puff that sells $1 macarons. and they're sosososos nice. Mostly the strawberries onesies ahahs. 

As our present, Steph was a foodie person so we got her all these zumbo stuff and some stuff she wanted at Typo. And Kristie put together this really cute canvas of all of us. Everyone had a huge message for her and took really ugly photos and yeah. Steph got really emotional, it was really cute.

GROUP PHOTO YEEER.

ZUMBARONS <3

 Tan was coming late so we walked around the city to find something to eat. But we're so indecisive as a group, and ended up walking half an hour to all these random restaurants but ending up to not eat anything. 

Tan came so we met her up at George Street Cinemas and we decided to got to Market City to eat food. But then we stopped in front of Pepper Lunch and went inside...so go eat at the shop behind it ahahahas. And we were so loud, i bet so many people were pissed at us. But there was this shop whose meals were sososos cheap. it was this jap restaurant behind pepper lunch. Every bowl/dish was around $3-$5 and you could get so full on it. Me and Linda bought curry and i got takoyaki balls and mochi and altogether it was $7 and i couldnt even finish it in the end because it was so much. and so nice ahahas. 

how cute :)

 Afterwards, we went to mizuya and bought the $1 green tea soft serve cone and tried to use their wifi but it sucks ahahahas. 

yumyum.

 then we headed to mc to go dodgem cars. but we ended up playing all these other games. racing games, gambling, deal or no deal, fruit ninja, shooting games, dj game, bball shots. it honestly was so much fun. Everyone was having fun, shouting at shooting and winning loadful of tickets to go get batons ahahas.

Afterwards, me, linda, chen, steph, and maddie walked back to town hall together. AND I GOT FROZEN YOGHURT. ahahas havent had my baby for so long. but yogertberry isn't that good, tbh. Still, it was the only one there.

Home choice: watermelon and oreos on mango :)

it was really fun although half the group wasn't there :) AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH. LOVE YOU LOTS YOU SASSY GIRL AND I HATE THAT YOU'RE STILL YOUNG AHAHAHS.
I.AM.OUTTIE :)
