This past week of food adventures - home made + out & about

Here's to another week of delicious food adventures - both home made as well as from restaurants in Melbourne.

Warning: the following images may induce hunger and cravings. Viewer discretion is advised, especially if viewing late at night.

Starting with dessert at the Laurent cafe at the Chaddy branch. Chololate ganache, mini macarons, coconut and raspberry and cake filling. 

Then jumping to the morning after hangover food at the Pancake Parlour. Pancakes, whipped butter, eggs and bacon. Need I say more?

Jumping over to the Japanese side of things. Unagi don at Uzu in Caulfield. The unagi was delicious, but I still cannot believe the rice was soggy. Hmph. Don't skimp on the rice!! :(

This baby still saved the day. Otherwise, I would have been very unhappy. 

Now for fruity chocolates that look like Drawing/Colouring Chalks from HappyLab! Love the presentation of this little box! Plus, they were yummy too. My favourite one was the lychee flavour (far right, baby pink color).

My home made spicy fish stew with caramelised leeks and cucumber.

And lastly, last night's late night dinner: A warm salad of tuna, tomatoes and green beans in a brown butter and balsamic reduction. Crackers on the side. Yum!

Starting with a miscellany of food memories

Living off-campus in Canada turned me into a person who enjoys cooking as much as eating. It's one experience to be presented with something delightful, another experience when you are involved backstage, another when you see someone smiling after eating your food, and yet another when you enjoy it after putting in that much effort. I think it's all fun! Food has always been a passion of mine, and I believe that it will always be. My parents will certainly not support me pursuing it any further than as a hobby, but hey - who knows. I still have a long road ahead!

I took so many pictures of my food - so many that looking at all the files in my laptop, it's safe to say that at least 80% (if not more) of the pictures in my computer are food related! lol I've always planned on sharing it, but never got around to a lot of them, so I guess I'll be posting backlogs for now. I'm living with my family now, so I don't get a chance to cook - mom is in control of the kitchen! lol Which is a pity because I've gotten so used to cooking and eating whatever I want. Well, my next stop is Australia, so that's when I'll resume my cooking ventures in real life. In the meantime it may just be restaurant reviews. With that said, let's get started!
