The Mistletoe Bridge

Earlier this week, I was wondering what the mistletoe bridge is and where it is.

This morning I decided to walk from Flinders Street Station to DFO South Wharf. I saw this mistletoe bridge, a giant mistletoe to be precise!

Christmas is just around the corner and the whole city is bustling with Christmas feeling. Southbank is as lively as ever in this cool weather.

It's good to spent my free time walking around like this!

Galleon Cafe

Brunch at Galleon Cafe! Been awhile since the last time I came here.

I used to order my favourite tofu and mushroom but today I decided to try something different.

My friend tried the tofu and mushroom instead. And I choose bubble and squeeky with lamb sausage. It was pretty good but I still prefer my favourite!

As for the drinks, one ice chocolate and one ice coffee for this blazing day! Bon apetit!

Kikki.K Xmas Box

Early xmas prezzie for myself!

I was eyeing on these stuff for quite some time and they now have it in a beautiful xmas box! Just can't be happier.

Now I can put my recipes in order and enjoy the benefit next year!

It was just too bad that the Chadstone VIP night didn't occur a week later as I was actually receiving an early birthday voucher from Kikki.K the day after! Oh well I can spend it for organisers at least!

And I just can't wait to spend Christmas in Japan! 2 weeks to go!

Brunch at Common Galaxia

I had brunch with uni friends at Common Galaxia. Nice coffees, I'll give you that.
To get to Common Galaxia (if you are catching the train), get of at West Footscray at the Watergarden line, it's just one stop from Footscray if you are catching the train from the CBD. From there, it is a very short walking distance. ;)

As for the food, I tried their oven-baked zuchinni fritters with smoked salmon. It was pretty good and unique. You can change the salmon into bacon, I tried my friend's and it was awesome. But hey, I never use fish in my cooking, so why not eat something different?

To be honest, I may think that it is overpriced though. Perhaps because I haven't been going out for brunch lately? Who knows. However, it's worth the money if you love this kind of food.

Mango Pudding

And that's how I made mango puddings!

They are unexpectedly easy. You just need small tapioca pearls, or sago i you prefer to call it that way.
So you need to put water, mango juice, caster sugar, and drained tapioca on high heat until it boiled, then turn the fire to medium.

After the tapioca becomes transculent, put in coconut cream and mango puree, put in fridge.
Dress with cut mangoes before serving. Easy!

Recipe can be found in Woolies magazine this month. ;)

Lindt Celebration du Chocolate at VIP Night

Was having these Lindt delight in the middle of shopping.

Yes, it was Chadstone VIP night on Wednesday. I wanted to grab some Kikki.K stuff so I decided to come. My friend wanted to go shopping so I tagged along.

I got (much more) than what I wanted and after a short walk, we decided to stop by at Lindt cafe. I had this Celebration du Chocolate with Mocha. Was quite a bit too chocolatey for me but I kinda liked it if it wasn't that expensive.

I shopped quite crazily as usual, but it was a good thing that I got good stuff.

Breakfast at Mamaduke

Breakfast at Mamaduke! Today was the second time, it was exactly last week when I had my first breakfast here.

It was actually really good. I only had this bacon and egg toast and I'm kind of addicted to it.

Plus a cup of earl grey with milk and honey. It was such a good start before taking the exam.
