Food and Elinor

Hello!

This weekend although I wasnt feeling well I was able to squeeze alot of yum food!

Started off with Vi coming over on Saturday with Cheese (for herself, yes she bought this giant wedge of french cheese and ate the whole thing in one sitting) and also brought over Lu Branded Pims biscuits yumm dark chocolate with a raspberry filling and a spongey base, I had about 5 of these, maybe even 6!

mmm spongey and filling-y

We then headed to Rosalinas in Newtown for dinner.
We all started off with garlic bread which was just pretty normal and I followed it with Fettucini Rosalina which is a sauce consiting of tomato, cream, mushroom and onions it was so good and what made it better was the service, it was so friendly, he was asking me why I was taking pictures (in a light hearted way) and was telling me to take more pics :)

Eddie ordered the canneloni with chicken ricotta, he said he went through the whole thing trying to find chicken but couldnt find any...

Perosnally I loved Rosalinas, I know some people werent to happy with their meals but I enjoyed it :)

BBQ King

YUMMMMM have been craving Peking Duck for ages and coincidentally so had Tammy. I havent seen Tammy in ages since she came back from her honeymoon (had lunch once) anwyay it was fantastic to catch up with her again.

We decided on an early dinner at BBQ King.

We ordered the Peking Duck 2 courses which was Peking Duck followed by sang choy bow. Oh lordy what a filling dinner.

We got a soup at the start but whilst it tasted fine, i wanted to leave space for the duck.

Seriously the service was fantastic it was prompt, helpful yet very unintrusive. Loved it immensely. The duck skin was so crispy and I loved how it was spring onions and not cucumber YEY!!!

YUMMMYYY

The sang choy bow (we got two each) were enormous so big i couldnt finish them but they were delicious.

Im definately taking my brother here!!

Hard Rock Cafe

Went and visited the Tap Gallery to check out The Forgotten Ones, photos taken my Ming Nomchong about orphan children in Cambodia. The photos were beautiful.

After that we had cravings for Onions Ring from Hard Rock Cafe so we decided to head there. As we were walking up to the Cafe and bus load of Japanese Tourists arrived and we thought we were going to be in 'service' trouble as more attention would obviously be placed on these high rollers, but we were wrong. The service was promt and very friendly.

Rod and I both ordered Onion Rings with Hickery Smoked BBQ sauce (mmm hickory smoked) and I also ordered a Haystack Chicken Salad. Kirsten ordered nachos which ended up being absolutely huge while Rod ordered a Veggie Burgers while Eddie got the Bacon Cheese Burger.

I would love to go into more details however Im not feeling to well. Maybe I will expand in a couple of days all I can say is my salad was really good, I loved the tortilla bits on top and the fatty ranch type dressing was creamy and subtle.

Kirstens Nachos SO big!

Rod's Vegie Burger

I get very nervous when wait people do not write orders down especially somewhere really casual like the Hard Rock Cafe but out waiter got it all right (barr rod wanting the onion rings on the side not a complete order of them them) but got my 'no tomato's' and rods 'no cheese or dairy' absolutely right yeye!

Vegetarian Weekend - Tofu House

So Chinese New Year the actual Sunday we are not meant to eat meat nor dairy products so bascially we are vegan for the day! As Chinese New Year Day means you can do any work like cleaning or cooking I tool my family out for lunch.

All the vegetarian places in Cabramatta were chockers but we were able to stumble into one in an alley way that only had a few patrons. Looking at it, the place looked new and as it is in a alleyway not very popular or known.

My mum ordered a noodle dish with tofu and I had a taste, it was slightly sweet, salty and sour-y all in one, it was really good. My dad, brother and myself ordered stir fried noddles with vegies, tofu and fake meat, this was SO good, so unbelieveably good, there was this slight curry flavour ot it but very light. We also ordered some spring rolls. YUM i would definately go back.

Bodhi's Vegetarian Yum Cha

Went to Bodhis on Saturday Morning with Kirsten and Tania. We went overboard saying yes to everything, we really should have paced ourselves but we didnt and we rolled out after...

I didnt like these much it was sweet on the outside and savoury on the inside....so very wrong

Curry Puffs....yeah I could have gotten this from an Indian Takeaway...again i felt ripped off

Mushroom Dumplings...finally we are onto a winner

YUMM i loved these - mushrooms with bok choy

Fried bean curd

I know gross picture but i forgot!! these were yum too

Spinach dumplings - yummo

These were the absolute WORST brown rice with seaweed, really strong seawed flaour, I had a little bit and put it in Kirsts bowl...she gave up as well lol

Red Bean dessert puff things we didnt eat these til later...When we did we shared one - again very full..

Deep fried bean curd things these were yum different from the other bean curds we had, these were really light.

Fake versions of one of my faves...i didnt eat these because Tania pulled a funny face when she took a bite and i was was getting really really full.

these meat versions are MY FAVES....I dont know if I was excited about these because...really i was SO full, had these have come out earlier I would have probably gone...nuts. Abit light on the sauce though.

YUM surprise of the day, these were delicious...BBQ buns yummm

AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER ??



We walked to China town to catch the light rail and after waiting ages for those cakey pancakey filled with filling things at the markets I settled with Emperor Puffs YUUMMM HOT and cheap....oozing with delicious custard oh and 5 for $1....

Biggest Downside? I love my dumplings with Hot CHilli Sauce and they didnt have it, the waitresses were mainly nice, one evil one but overall pretty damn good service...but no hot chilli sauce.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!! Welcome the Year of the Pig...

On Friday Eddie and I went to visit the markets in Dxon Street in ChinaTown to get in on the festivities and boy were there festivities.

After getting through the hustle and bustle where i got super exicted over the food then annoyed because it took so long to get anything it was good times :)

Im so depressed about those sweet cakes things above, on the Friday night it was jam packed there were rows of raffle ticket things so I figured no but then I went back after dinner and it was packed again. On the Saturday as we walked through China town to get home, I was going to buy some but it took the guy 5 mins to write 3 chocolate for the customer before me so I gave up.

Following on from this and the purchase of some soy sauce and laughing at the Spam stall Eddie and I headed to Fujiya for Japanese.

Busy and buzzing the waitresses looked so cute and pretty and everyone was prompt and friendly.

Eddie ordered Octopus Balls and a noodle dish while i ordered Agedashi Tofu and bite sized beef, I also order a Japanese alcoholic Lemon drink it was delicious and refershing!

Octopus Balls - you see Im not a seafood fan... BLAH

Agedashi Tofu - I had to pull off the fishy flaky moving things...but i do love this

Bite Sized Steak bits - these were alittle tough, would have liked it rarer but it was still nice.
