Australia 2011 – What we ate

The thing about holidays is that food is often a big part of the whole experience. However since I have never been really much of a foodie to start with, I only took  photos of the food that gave me the strongest impression at specific moments. All other meal moments during the holiday, I was either too lazy to whip up the cam or the other meals were not much to look at or to remember.

Seafood Paella

The first home-cooked dinner that greeted us when we arrive at Nick's place

on our first evening in Sydney.

 

The first burger that Kyle and I had in Tasmania was in Fricynet Lodge (after a 3 hour drive). The best part about the dish was not so much about the burger but the shoe-string fries, which also came with a breathtaking view of Cole's Bay.

The second time we had rice was on the way back to Hobart from the East Coast of Tasmania. It kind of eased Kyle's and my cravings for Japanese food, after having to eat fried seafood and fries during every other meal in our time at the East Coast.

The best thing about Australia's food has to be the breakfast that we had in Tasmania. Since Kyle is a major pancake fan, we went with pancakes for the 2 breakfasts that we had in Hobart, Tasmania.

Will be posting more of what we saw and did in Tasmania, once I am able to find some down-time to blog.

Pho in Chinatown?

A week of being stuck at home has left me with plenty of cravings, so I made dh and the little one come along with me in search of Vietnamnese Pho.

K wasn't in his best of moods today so I could hardly get a grin from him for the photos.

Since we rarely spend time around this part of Singapore, I brought my cam along to snap some pictures of Chinatown.

There are so many sights and colours that is hard to capture with a moody little boy and a hungry dh in tow. So my next visit with the cam to Chinatown has to be sans the little boy and the man.

When we finally got our Pho, it turned out to be a great disappointment. So unsatifying until I did not bother to capture any shots of it. So I have learnt that one should never go to Chinatown and try any other cuisine other than Chinese food.

And the boy was in his best, "I don't want to eat anything" mood. I suppose the Pho was really no good according to his gourmet tastebuds.

So my search for good Pho continues…

Our bake fest has begun!

I recently got this book, 1001 Cupcakes, Cakes and other tempting treats from the Borders sale (30% off for Borders members) and this is the first recipe that K and I have baked; Pistachio cookies. I am planning to bake at least one to two recipes a week from this book, and possibly more leading up to Christmas.
