Where Did the Holiday Go?

I am just going to post pictures and caption them. Life, with its twists and turns is beautiful. Happy New Year, everyone!

 

 

Happy New Year 2016!

Christmas Dinner



Christmas Dinner dessert



We stayed twice at Crown Promenade, 3 days each visit. It was bliss.



We normally go to Crown Towers but this time tried Crown Promenade
Good times!



This deer is so Christmassy I want to take it home



I love seafood and we always go to The Conservatory, that way Rich can choose other fare :-)

 

This is my home made custard and fresh fruits - after the holiday feasts!



Another visit to the Conservatory, this healthy plate is just yummy



seafood - I was craving oysters but when I got there I was more into salmon and
prawns lol





I love Jo Malone

Mama's Buoi CBD

Just recently, a colleague Trang and I caught up for lunch. She was so excited to show me her new find. For a foodie like me - word of mouth helps a lot because I do not rely on media's food reviews. Been disappointed far too much to even try what they say. Hence, I need a warm body to tell me if the place is really worth going to. :-)

Mama's Buoi is located in the Postal Lane of the GPO. Nestled between huge buildings H&M and Myer. That little aisle you have to go through before you discover gems. So, so worth it.




You have to go through this narrow laneway attractively
decorated with rustic lamps and barrels. I just love it!

You pass by this inviting area and all I wanna do is sit there and reminisce but it was not our restaurant. I promise to go back there one of these day offs. :-)

Tadah!  Mama's Buoi!

Pretty and cozy :-)

 

 

Water for me

Vermicelli Noodles with Asian Salad and fresh herbs served with roast pork and crackling

with Nuoc Cham dressing, that fishy-lemony-chilli-yummy goodness of a sauce

Not sure what this was but it has steamed rice noodles, fish cakes, lettuce and chilli - Trang said this was good...

This dessert is Sticky black rice and seasonal fruits with yoghurt ice cream that tasted like salted caramel... I counted the ingredients and there were 13 I can name of, but I am sure there are still more :-)

 

 

Crème Caramel and fruits

All cleaned up. Burp...ops excuse me while I beam :-)
