I have been good with my no red meat diet even after the holidays. I broke my meat fast by eating Ham on Chrissy and NYE dinners. I always have ham during holidays ever since I could chew! Not gonna change that!☺But start of January I ate mostly Japanese sushi. The tame ones - none of the raw raw ones. My fave are the Seafood Inari, Grilled salmon, grilled scallops and tempura sushi prawns. I think I have outgrown my love for cali rolls haha ☺
I made some progress with having a go at being a Vegetarian for 6 months but after Christmas I made some changes - I will eat some meat IF it is a special occasion and public holiday :-). Also because my iron dropped and I get so fatigued easily.
Here are some of the yummies we had recently...
 |
| This is a Food Court treat on weekends. Vegetables and Salted Fish on mixed rice is love ♥ |
 |
| By my Masterchef Richard - sliced and diced red & green bell peppers, organic radish with dash of balsamic oil dressing. It is so yum! |
 |
| This little thing poking out a bag is a trio of fish ball in a skewer. Takes me back when I was a teenager and no cares in the world... I try to fry some at home but just not the same as the bought ones! This is from the same Food court we got the rice and fish :-) |
 |
| Rich loved to cook European dishes to my Asian Dishes...this is actually more yummy than it looks! Our mid night din din of Beef Steak Schnitzel with rustic mash and mixed veggies! Yumm-O! |
 |
| Homemade gourmet sausage rolls with tomato and mango salsa! Google the recipe and they do not fail! |
 |
| Monday Dinner is Greek in the Williamstown Suburb of Melbourne. The Trio Dips of Tzaziki, Caviar and Capsicum/pinenuts plus freshly baked bread is just so delicious! |
 |
| This is our entrée Saganaki my fave esp with Arugula (rocket) salad and lots of lemons! Yummmm... |
 |
| I am not a fan of lamb. Not even when it is juicy, melts in the mouth tenderness, and chargrilled to perfection souvlaki like this. Rich tho is another story :-) ♥ |
 |
| Warm Pita bread to scoop all the juices of the mussels hmmmm (check out the next photo!) |
 |
| This is my main meal order. Good for two people so we shared but still unable to finish it all...I blame the breads and dips hahaha. The mussels are cooked to perfection with tomato based sauce with hint of paprika ♥ The huge King prawns were a tad overdone and the Morton bay bugs were not as succulent as expected, but the pan fried fish and the strips of fresh calamari battered and fried made up for the shellfish's lack of juiciness... Over all it was a yummy dinner... |
Fast Forward next Night...♥☺
Meet Sang Choy Bow. A lettuce ball with chicken mince cooked with hoisin sauce and spring onions...This is my entrée just the day after our Greek Dinner. We went to a new Chinese Restaurant in the same suburb of Williamstown for joint birthdays of friends.
 |
| We ordered fave dishes each and then shared! Yum! This is tender beef strips with vegetables! |
 |
| Succulent King prawns with vegetables in Garlic sauce! |
 |
| What Chinese meal is complete without this oh so yummy crunchy in the outside and tender in the inside battered sweet and sour pork! ♥☺ |
 |
| We also had some vegetarian spring rolls with sweet chili sauce, sweet corn soup, Pork Spare ribs in Peking Sauce - ( Richard's favourite!!! ) and Chicken and vegetables. |
I really enjoyed the Chinese night out in terms of food and company. Greek Food was okay esp since it is a Date Night but both Rich and I decided if we wanna venture back in Willy we will definitely choose Chinese Dinner!
After 3 straight nights of eating out I needed a little break...just a little I'd still go out if asked hahaha...but today with the help of my new trusted Ninja Blender (a super blender!) made my first FRO YO! Yo! The ingredients are just this:
Yoghurt and frozen mixed berries!I also added bit of honey because the tartness might turn me off and it did the trick! The best Froyo ever!!!
*****
Oh and did I tell you I loved the sang choy bow I went home with the taste lingering on my mouth so I googled the recipe and made it the next day! It is so delish!!!
And today the iceberg lettuce is really ICEBERG lettuce ...
This was also my lunch today... 30/1/14
