Farewell Dinner at Ky Chow

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Farewell Dinner at Ky Chow

One of my friends here is leaving… Gonna miss her soooooo much! She’s one of the friends here that I can share my problems with especially in the relationship department, we have the same expectations, we understand what each other had gone tru’ which usually most people will not understand, no wonder we clicked. We’ve only known each other for 6 months but we had bonded, too bad now she’s back in Malaysia for good.

We went to Ky Chow again. This time for farewell dinner. Supposed to be 10 of us, at the end only 8 of us.

Left: Hot & Sour Seafood Soup (AUD4.50), it’s quite spicy if you can’t tolerate spiciness. The soup was quite thick. Sour and spicy enough.
Right: Shallot Pan Cake (AUD5), it wasn’t so bad.


Left: I don’t remember what’s this, had it previously. I can’t seem to locate it in the menu. Should be sweet & sour chicken, there’s sweet & sour pork in the menu though.
Right: Granny’s Bean Curd with Prawns Hot Pot (AUD14.80).


Left: Had Chinese Fruit Hawthorn Pork ribs (AUD11.80) previously too.
Right: Salty Fish Egg Plant Hot Pot (AUD10.80), had this previously too hahaha… Apparently my friends kept ordering the same dishes means these are the recommended ones by them.


Left: *LOL* I have no idea what is this. It’s a type of beef dish, tried to locate it in the menu but none of them ring a bell.
Right: Group photos. Our 2 male coursemates didn’t turn up last minute. It should left only 6 girls for the dinner but the other two brought their boyfriends(not our coursemates) along. Only 3 Malaysians, the rest were from different parts of China. I guess you can easily spot who are from Malaysia and who are from China 😉

Gonna miss my friend for sure. I sent her to the airport last Saturday. Thought I will not cry but ended up I cried -.-” ARG! So embarassing ;p

Sigh… Everyone is leaving yet I’m trying hard to stay.

Wasai Japanese Kitchen

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Wasai Japanese Kitchen

Had farewell dinner with my one of my colleagues (who is also my coursemate) at Wasai last week. It’s a Japanese restaurant located at 9-15 Field Street, basically at Chinatown.


This is my very first Japanese food in Adelaide. We ordered Momoji(AUD105) to share among 4-5 people. It’s special selections of Wasai’s most popular dishes.

In fact, you can even share with 6 or 7 people if all of you are not very big eater. The most expensive dinner I had, I paid AUD30 for my portion which include 2 bottles of sake(shared among 10 people, if I recalled correctly) which I only drank a small cup. Soooo broke! It’s only beginning of October and AUD30 gone just for one meal… Oh well… It’s the company that counts. The most just have to be very careful in spending this month. What’s more last month overshoot my expenditure limit ;p


Left: The chili powder and soy sauce.
Right: Complimentary edamame was served.

Momoji consisted of…

Left: Deluxe Sushi + Sashimi Boat, goodness! It was so gooooooooooooooood… The shashimi was so fresh! Love it! Haven’t eaten any good Japanese food for so loooooooooooong.
Right: Agedashi Tofu, very soft and tasty. *slurp*


Left: Soba Salad, very nice too. OH! Everything was nice.
Right: Tempura consists of prawns, fish and assorted vegetables. All the ingredients were so fresh.


Left: Teriyaki Chicken. It was cooked to perfection.
Right: Seafood Miso Hotpot, it’s quite salty but it’s quite tasty. By the time this was served, we’re so stuffed already.

Overall, the food was good, at least my AUD30 (just don’t do the conversion ok?!? Hahaha…) for this meal was worth it. Highly recommded. Just too expensive for me… I really miss quality Japanese cuisine. At least this was good enough to fix my crave until don’t-know-when.

Steven ter Horst Chocolatier

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Steven ter Horst Chocolatier


After dinner at Kopi Tim, we went for dessert at 221D Unley Road, There’s a shop called Steven ter Horst Chocolatier. The place is secluded, quite hard to find if you’re not a local in Adelaide or stay here long enough.


Finally get to go to a little cosy place to hang out. This place specialized in chocolate which claimed to use offer with the highest quality Belgian chocolate.


Left: So many chocolates!
Right: We ordered some tea. You can have single pot for AUD3.50 or double pot aka bigger pot to share for AUD5.50. You can get free refill. We had raspberry tea and also Earl Grey.


Left: Hot chocolate (AUD5.50 – small, AUD6.50 – large)
Right: OMG! Heavenly! The most delicious chocolate dessert I ever had. It’s quite sweet but not the kind of sweetness that can made you felt sick eating too much. Nuts About Chocolate (AUD7.50), there’s roasted almond, hazelbut daquoise, chocolate cremeaux decorated with chocolate chantilly. Just can’t get enough of it!


Lemon Lust (AUD7.70), lemon mousse dome, praline cream, cocoa sponge and toasted almonds. This is nice too. Sweet and sour. I love it also!

GOSH! I wanna have more!! Highly recommended.

Kopi Tim

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Kopi Tim

16th September 2011, it’s Malaysia Day. My two friends were very patriotic ;p they took a day off and went for lunch at a Malaysian restaurant in Rundle Mall.


Then at night, I joined them and they went to another Malaysian restaurant, Kopi Tim, located at 168 Gouger Street. *LOL* The food here isn’t very cheap -.-” chicken rice costs more than AUD10. Of course I won’t go for any food which are available at my workplace, every week see the same food also scare hahaha…

These were what we had:

Left: The interior.
Right: Grass jelly and herbal tea. Forgot the prices. By the way, I heard they don’t serve FOC water like any other places. You must order the bottled water.


Left: Rice.
Right: Salted Fish Bean Sprout (AUD13.90), stir fried bean sprout with salted fish in tasty sauce. GOSH! Can you believe eating such expensive bean sprout dish?!?! Even in Chinatown, I could get a packet for less than AUD1. Taste? Salted fish and bean sprout as it should taste *LOL*


Left: Sambal Okra (AUD13.90), okra in thick chili sauce. I really can’t help it, the most expensive okra/ladyfinger dish I had in my life! ;p The sambal was quite sweet but it was good.
Roght: The famous Kadazan Chicken (AUD16.90) of Kopitim. It’s deep fried chicken marinated with the chef’s special spices. YUM! I love this! Don’t remember how many pieces of chicken there. If I recall correctly, there should be 6 pieces.


Left: Sambal Squid (AUD16.90), the sambal was the same as the okra’s. I like this too even though it’s quite sweet.
Right: Curry Prawn, no idea how much because it’s not in the menu. Not bad too.

I don’t remember the exact total price but each of us paid about AUD18+ for 7 of us.

Overall, I won’t recommend the vegetable dishes because it’s too expensive. Even the À la carte dishes too. Not worth it. The prices here are quite steep and portion wasn’t big. Meat and seafood dish are okay I guess…

I don’t think I’ll come back unless I have too much money to spare.

Oporto

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Oporto

Oproto is no stranger to Australians. It’s an Australian franchise with over 140+ stores across Australia, New Zealand, UK, and China.

I saw it many times at City Cross but never thought of trying it out because I only went to Hungry Jack’s there ;p Only until I got the buy 1 burger and get 1 free burger voucher, I finally tried it.

After my last exam paper, I decided to reward myself. I ordered the Bondi Single Fillert Burger (AUD4.98). This is Oporto’s authentic, signature Bondi Burger with 1 fresh grilled chicken breast fillets, lettuce, cheese and mayo served with or without irresistible chilli sauce. I had it with the chili sauce.

Since I got the voucher, means I got two burgers for one price. I gave one to a friend who treated me for my birthday dinner.

The taste? The chili is a bit spicy but if for those who can’t stand a bit of spiciness, it can be rather spicy. The meat was tender and juicy. I would say the burger was kind of tasteless though. Didn’t taste much of the mayo too. Maybe I had too much of Hungry Jack’s *LOL*
