dont you just love those coupons on the back of the coles dockets? Black Stump always has those buy one meal get 2nd meal for free and theyre new menu is super sexy

i love garlic cheese bread!

doesnt look like much i know but seriously you can NOT go wrong with garlic bread topped with parmesan cheese

noods got the ‘beyond the black stump’

you get 2 rolls and 3 tubs of balsamic vinegar, butter and an aussie spice to dip

for mains i ordered the wagyu

it was nice and soft but felt a little like hogs breath steaks… as in mass produced and not very tasty

noods ordered the kangaroo

he likes trying different types of animal FLESH

happy mothers day to all the mums out there! me and noods’ family went to Temasek (71 George St, Parramatta next to the Roxy) and ordered the set menu.

da extended family!

first out was the Boneless Hainanese Chicken with strips of ham

for some reason the parentals like the ham but i find it weird to mix different bits of animal flesh

then Curry Chicken

didnt actually get to try this because i was waaay too interested in the other dishes

then Kecap Manis Calamari

ditto

then Stuffed Whole Snapper

this was interesting they dug out the insides of the fish and stuffed it with a mixture of prawn n fish. i liked the crispy fish skin but not so much the insides

then Ho Chien (oyster omellete)

MY FAVOURITE!!! but boy was it spicy! but so good! but so spicy… mmm they use water chestnut flour and theres many globules of fresh oysters floating around

then Kangkong

noods’ favourite (even if you DO say it like an aussie kaaankung hehe)

then Fried Hokkien Mee with Prawns

this was a little too soupy for me but it was realli tasty

then Almond Butter King Prawns

MY 2ND FAVOURITE!!! ohhh the soft sweet fluffy mass that sits atop those ginormouse king prawns are GOLD! gold that melts in your mouth! mmm i could eat just that with rice…

dessert was a giant bowl of ice kachang and in my attempts to ensure i didnt get a bowl of just grass jelly i forgot to take a foto! argh so this was my bowl which my brother made specially for me (miniscule bits of grass jelly, even less miniscule bits of red bean, lots of pink and brown ice and those clear round things)

happy mothers day mum!!! thank you for everything! dont we look alike!?!?

graduation dinner was held at the Lighthouse Restaurant (68-80 George St, Parramatta) and a smashing time had by all. food was a tad slow but the company made it all worth while =)

nutrition peeps! anth, amie, nat, elline, me


me and thuy


nat, adri, me, nadine

i chose the prix fix menu 3 courses for $39 and started with the smoked tasmanian salmon with avocado, straw mushrooms and celery apple dressing

mmm sweet but tart and smokey all at the same time…

mains was beef fillet with kipfler potatoes, mushrooms, baby carrots and asparagus

my medium rare was a little too rare for my liking towards the middle but it was beautifully soft and juicy

noods had the seafood casserole of green king prawns, morteon bay bug tail, tasmanian scallops, mussels and fish fillet ($39)

which was tasty but not very filling

and dessert was sticky date pudding with vanilla bean ice cream and butterscotch sauce

speeches and presentations were exellent amie and nat you guys are the bestest! i love trivia games! and the awards were funnyas! good luck to everyone in the future! i love you guys!
