The little bits that make up my life...: I kept to my promise...

Ok, so after going missing for about a week, what have i been up to? Hee, yes more eating and eating and eating. Sorry Huixian, haha its really turning into a food blog! Ok, let me start with desserts with huey on Friday. That woman lost to me on a bet, thats why she had to treat me to Max Brenners haha. Eh but i insisted on paying her half, but she refused, she said i will cook her Aglio Olio in return, so my dear housemate, don't said i cheat you ok!

The Melbourne Central branch

This time sitting outside...

While waiting for our food and drinks...

Her hot chocolate came first, not fair! Haha she paid an extra $1.20 for that whipped cream.

The Belgian Waffle again!

This time round i tried their ice blended drink. Yellow granita, which is blended with lemon and mint leaves, nice and refreshing!

<3

Moving on to Saturday. We had plans to go to the open range Werribee Zoo, but i only realised the caption "Bookings are essential" on the website just one day before. When i called, they were closed already, so i thought its ok, i will call early in the morn to check again. Forced myself to wake up at 9 am to call, and the stupid pre-recorded hotline just goes..."Thank you for using voicemail", and then my phone line gets cut. How irritating. Besides, it was pouring outside, freezing like mad. It didn't rain the whole week, and when we decided to go to the zoo, it must rain, so it got cancelled. We are going to try again next week, hopefully it doesn't pour again.

Nevertheless, we did have other plans. Went down to Camberwell's Sophia to have dinner. This place is well known for serving super large portions with a low price. The restaurant was darn spacious and the portions were really large too.

Went with the sisters as usual

Waiting....

We had Calamari as starters and they were delicious! Unlike those we always eat, you know where the squid is super skinny, and most of the time you are eating flour? This is not the case here, the squid is fat and juicy, and you can't taste the flour. We also ordered this pasta trio thing where we can choose 3 flavours of pasta in one plate, and gosh its huge.

See what i mean by large??

Hmm...do you think i can hide behind it?

Huey and me wanted to bet with the sisters that we could still order another pizza and finish it, but...we were terribly wrong. Thank goodness we didn't haha, because we couldn't even finish our pasta!

Leftovers..enough for one more person?

Random Pic

See where the leftovers went...One full box of takeaway, should be enough for 2, not just 1.

This did not stop us from having desserts, but of course we shared. Decided to go for the gelato which has lots of flavours and again, huge in size haha. The service there is darn good man, waiters were fast, friendly, and helpful!

The waiter that only allowed me to take a pic of him unless i be in the pic as well

A tower of gelato!

The yummy cakes

PeiYi wanted to take a picture with the cakes as well, but when i was going to take for her, the manager waved his hand and we thought we were not allowed to take pictures of their cakes. He proceeded to open the fridge and took a whole cake out, and told PeiYi to pose with the cake, how sweet!

The people there are all so lovely

Leaving the place.

We were looking for people to help us take this group photo, and there were 3 guys smoking outside, and they were asians. When i approached them, i don't know why my first instinct was to speak to them in Chinese (I guess my brain must have assumed they were from China), i went "qing wen ni ke bu ke yi..." then i went oh sorry, i meant could you take a picture for us please. I felt so embarassed! Haha and they were from indonesia la! Blur me.

Next stop, Golden Monkey. Huey has been raving to me how nice this place would be and i will like it. I wasn't too convinced by her, but whoa! I really liked that place so much! But i hated her reason, she said because that place has very "China designs" so she thinks i will like it. Stupid woman, and is there anything wrong with satin material clothes? She says i am like a China woman because i like satin, crazy right she? See Yoke Huey, you are crazy haha. I do like the place because of the Oriental design, but not because it has "China designs" ok.

They are two seperate areas, see the white line?

The bar top

Looks like someone's living room right?

Our cozy corner, so private! Looks a bit like a K box room, but its not.

Me and darling Sin...

Me and NOT-darling Yoke huey hahahahaha, see the 60s pictures behind?

Our drinks: The Once Again Virgin, Butterfly Claw, Virgin Sacrifice

Interesting names huh? I had a mocktail this time round, didn't feel like having something alcoholic. Mine was the Once Again Virgin and is the nicest out of the 3! Haha huey went for the reccommended one, Butterfly Claw, which had alcohol, but it tasted...well not so appealing.

Sin, you look like a Koala bear, and huey you are the tree branch! Haha

As usual, self portrait

Wanted to try some back to the 60s thing, you know how they don't really smile in the pictures, but the both of us look like we are in some horror show's poster.
