Walking Down Memory Lane

-
Two weeks ago, I had a break and took the opportunity to re-visit the place where I used to stay five years ago... that is on the west side. It was only a four-day trip and I was wishing that I don't have to go back to reality. It was an enjoyable and relaxing trip, although I was quite exhausted being sleep deprived.


Swan River

The day started with jogging and walking by the river. Jogging along and some dogs came to me. So happy! It was a good time reminiscing the past... can't believe it that so many years have passed by! After that I took some time walking around my old neighbourhood and my old uni; some things changed but some still the same... saw the lovely old Indian couple who go to Kongs every Sunday and saw the schizophrenic guy! =)


Wicked slush drinks
I got the Adult one, with alcohol! Hehe!

My friend, HRH and I went to 'The Broadway Musical show - WICKED'. It was wickedly awesome; good acting, singing, funny ... they have it all! I saw Bert Newton (as the Wizard of Oz) but my favourite of all is the Wicked witch, the actress did such a good job acting and singing! One thing that I will remember from this musical is when Elphaba and Fiyero professes their love to each other. What matters most is the heart and it doesn't really matter if you are green or you are made of straws. =) If only it's the same in reality...

Other day trip: Rottnest Island



Clean, clear, blue water....



Me cycling around the island ... I definitely got a tan after that!






I looked so happy cycling ... Wonder what was I thinking that time?
If only I have a longer break! I'm back in reality and was so busy, needless to say, my bag was still left unpack ... I know, I'm just too lazy! =)

Tibetan Kitchen

Tibetan Kitchen, West End Finally, I have the time to catch up on blogging! Yay! After a sweaty and tired workout in Urban Climb for an indoor rock-climbing (more than a month ago!) , the five of us made our way to Tibetan Kitchen for a late dinner. It was a Friday night and there was people bustling around Trang and its neighbour, Tibetan Kitchen. Haven't had the taste or any clues about Tibetan food, we were lucky because one of our company had spent his time in Tibet for a month. He did warned us beforehand that the food here wasn't as authentic as the food in Tibet though.  Anyway, after much contemplation, we ordered: Pakhora Onion Baje - 6.90 Crispy fried onion patties served with yoghurt & cucumber sauce The pakhora was all right. It could be better with more onions maybe? Namcheko Momo - $8.90 Typical Tibetan style meat dumplings served with homemade tomato chutney Even though these dumplings looked like Chinese/Japanese dumplings

Newmarket Hotel

  Newmarket Hotel, Newmarket  Newmarket Hotel has been on our regular place to visit as it is quite a family friendly restaurant; and obviously quite close to home. It can get quite busy at times but as we usually dine when restaurants open (5 or 5.30pm) so it was not too bad. Parking is ample with the complex's undercover parking. What I love about Newmarket hotel is that they do have kid's meal and Grace always enjoy their chicken tenders. Yay! The kid's meal come with a drink (and the drink container can be brought home) and ice cream for dessert. No photo for her meal but we ordered it with steamed vegetables. If you are a seafood lover, give their calamari a go! They are beautifully crumbed and cooked just right. This is an entree size but you can upgrade to the main size. I tried their fish - special of the day; barramundi with some crispy pumpkin/potatoes and the 'sauce'. Honestly, I did not expect it, as this was more like a gravy sauce dish. The portion was

Milk Cafe, Ashgrove

  Milk Cafe, Ashgrove Throwback to late last year when we visited Milk Cafe in Ashgrove. It is just adjacent to Woolworths Ashgrove and you will not miss it. Plenty of parking is available in the complex. Famous for its milkshake, we did not order any as we get quite apprehensive when the kids are so high in sugar 😅. I could not remember the exact dish we had that day but the first dish was poached eggs with bacon, and cripsy potatoes with addition of haloumi. Little M dislikes cheese but she will gobble up the haloumi in no time. We had the pancakes as well and they were fluffy and soft. The girls thankfully enjoyed them, as sometimes they can be picky with their food.  The indoor setting is reasonably large and there is outdoor setting as well. Bonus--> it is part of the Entertainment book's voucher. But ya, we will be back one day.  Breakfast at Milk Cafe
