And next thing I know… it’s another week and another year around the sun. I had a good week with a day off on Wednesday to chill and get some things done 🙂 I went to Iori with some friends and got some deeeeelish Japanese fried chicken bento box and after a nice walk we had some awesome cheese and wine thanks to my awesome Coz with the gift certificate ❤ Afterwards, my favvy chocolate+caramel+peanut base cake from Flowers cafe and Limoncello from Cinque terre! 😀 Then my friend V + J watched Fleabag (Great show LOL) after some Aussie Margaret River Shiraz wine + delish pasta & herbs from Rome and MORE cheese! One day at a time…. Life is good. I am grateful ❤ Feeling lucky to have the day off that day and to enjoy it and my friend A mailed me some lovely makeup and cream and earrings and snacks!! So thoughtful and kind 😀
Funny note : when I was at Casa d’Italia I spoke only in broken Italian and they were ALL so so so lovely!! It was so fun. Even a customer commented and all I could say was bonne journée lol
Work has been manageable and not too crazy so that’s all good!
I ate the f’in delicious Pork flavoured Nissan instant noodles. It was hilarious as I was cussing heaps to my sis how the options here were totally crap as I opened the gift pack from my friend. Little did I know it was a survival kit! 😀 Damn those noodles were epic.
I also ordered Bun bo Hue spicy viet nooodles from Haozi again and they were damn good too!
Also went to:
- Emily patisserie: to try the new matcha cake and that was very tasty! Would eat again if given to me lol
- Perlette patisserie: had the Paris brest. It was ok.
- Patisserie Georgette: tried the Kalamansi and it was very average
maybe something more the traditional French style is better?
After some epic wine + cheese from Xavier Fromagerie (yup 5 cheese platter!), as well as Bar Spirit, I’m doing ok 🙂 Had a random chat with the dude there and he lived in Gladstone, Queensland before! We had an awesome natter cuz he was pining to go to Melbourne hahaha He also bartends @ Hopscotch… apparently a whiskey bar YASSSSS
