What I'm wearing: autumn is here

Haven't religiously taken photos of my outfits and mostly have forgotten to.. Memory is failing me.

Anw, the leaves are starting to fall a sign to the beginning of autmn or fall (no pun intended) as it is known in other places.

The weather is lovely - nice warm sun rays with a cool breeze as we move into colder days. It got cold last week but it's back up to a nice balmy 20 plus degrees. Perfect weather. Bliss.

Boozy client lunch tmr out in Bendigo. Love that I have the chance to visit the place. Should be quite lovely. Also, would be nice having lunch w the client and the wider team. Must rmb to take pix!

And finally, pix of what I wore one day to work. Can't even rmb when... Lol

Cooking adventures - mee hoon kueh

Had massive cravings for food from the homeland that I started googling for recipes on how to make certain stuff. First up was mee hoon kueh which, according to mum, is not that hard hence why the choice for the first cooking adventure.

Wei, of course, was involved in the process as well.



The dough that was made from flour, water and an egg. Had to let the dough sit for an hour before making the kueh.

Meanwhile, anchovies were being boiled for the soup base while we waited for the dough to be ready.



We then fried some anchovies to be used as garnish.



The ready dough- doesn't look too much different except he texture and size.

No pix of the process of the kueh being thrown into the soup as it was all hands on deck and no room for photography!



Kueh being cooked in the soup base. Oh apart from anchovies we put dried scallop for more taste too.



And finally, the finished product! Really satisfied w the output and very yummy!

Can't wait to make it again - slurps!

In light of recent requests to blog more, I'm starting a "what I'm wearing" entry to chronicle outfits that I put together.

First in the series is what I wore to work today



Pink Victorian style cardigan from Singapore, 'Flower bombs' skirt from Alannah Hill and pink casual wedges from Hong Kong

And a parting shot of me.. Hehe

A weekend away

Was in Adelaide yesterday and in Brisbane today. Helping out on some events for work.

So far, so good! Really hope the weather here stays nice for us today...

No duckin’ way

Just read an article on The Age about foodie clubs. There is a group – Duck Club – who have recommended a few places for duck after they have eaten duck all around Melbourne.

The recommendations are:

Quanjude (299 Queen Street, city, 96700091) has superb Peking duck. For tea-smoked duck, try Bamboo House (47 Little Bourke Street, city, 96621565). Aux Batifolles (400 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy North, 94815015) does an excellent duck confit

Quanjude? For Peking duck? Are you kidding me? That place is awful and so not worth the price. If I pay top dollar, I want PROPER Peking duck not some crappy half-baked version. So far, I reckon Peking duck at Sung's Kitchen on Franklin St is pretty good. Old Kingdom isn't too bad but the place is a tad shabby.
