This post is dedicated to food.

We spent quite a bit of money on food this time round. And the stingy me with less deep pockets felt a slight pinch. But aiyah, in the end I kinda relented - I wld at most just eat at Amoy everyday after I'm back in Sg and balance it off lor. After all, it's not everyday you get the luxury of time to enjoy all the yummy food waiting to be bought/ eaten.. :)

Meals were a combination of take-outs/ semi-picnics; home-cooked dinner/self-prepared brekkies and semi-bank-breaking nice sit-down meals. Food was generally good, except for a one-off misfortune of having some gross tasting roast chicken at a highway cafe for lunch, on our way to the Blue Mountains. We also made a few supermarket trips during the lil road trip, and my best find was this ultra-fresh tasting banana chips that cost a mere A$2.30 per pkt! (it was on sale, and reminded me of my mostly-look-out-for-offer-grocery-items college days).

Most of my food pics are of breakfast - the most ex meals were photo-less cos I guess it's kinda paiseh to go nice restaurant and keep snapping away at the entrees/mains like we're very suaku like that haha.

Eggs Florentine with smoked salmon

Cereal with milk and... banana chips! Simple but good.

Prying open a fresh fig after breakfast.

Passionfruit still-life?

Our cosy-looking breakfast area at Potts Point hotel in Sydney. Loved the cushion prints and tasteful deco. The TV screen reads "Hottest Underwear Trends" (some local morning show) :P

Warm chai latte for a rainy sat morning...

A meat pie called "Tiger", topped with generous portions of mashed peas and brown gravy. It's a 'delicacy' from an established kiosk named "Harry's" - selling meat pies, hot dogs etc from a little cart on wheels (but now a permanent kiosk). Heh its looks were more "stunning" than its taste - the hot dog version tasted way better :)

Polenta with blue cheese sauce and oyster mushrooms. Polenta is apparently some cornmeal product originating from Italy - it looked and tasted a bit like tofu.

Nice counter at this restaurant called "The Book Kitchen" at Surry Hills, Sydney. They sell cookbooks and regularly whip up different dishes using recipes from their cookbooks. Concept reminds me a bit of 25 degrees in Sg.
