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.

Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley Day Trip (Part 4)

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley Day Trip (Part 4)

Final part of my Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley Day Trip. This also marks the end of my 3 crazy days in October.


After Grant Burge, we headed to another winery, Jacob’s Creek.


GOSH! It’s breathtaking!


The information centre of Jacob’s Creek.


Wine… Lot’s of wine, I think I didn’t try any of the wine here, don’t remember ;p


Imagine having a wedding here… It’s gonna be lovely!


Just one problem, it’s too far from civilisation hahaha… If I can afford it one day… When my day comes ;p


Almost the end of the trip… Amazing view!


We thought of stopping by The Whispering Wall but it was closed! It’s closed at 5pm and we reached there at 5pm.

There you go… Finally finish this post. Wonder should I post the Spring/Summer fashion parades or not. So many photos to filter and edit.

Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley Day Trip (Part 3)

Off we went to Barossa Valley after Adelaide Hills. This is where the wine lovers will want to go…


Left: Such nice view! We stopped here to take some photos.
Right: First stop was Schild Estate.


Quite a cosy place.


Of course, I tried the wine. I had few sips of wine the night before, then half glass of wine at 5am that day after clubbing. Next, had wine again visiting here. I’m no wine expert, so don’t ask me what’s good or what’s not. I just tried them for the sake of trying. So I was basically drinking the whole time while I was awake that time ;p


Left: Passed by Jacob’s Creek.
Right: Next, we went to Grant Burge, I’m sure this is no stranger to wine lovers. The scenery was sooooo beautiful.


Never thought that I will have the chance to see such scenery but now I’m here, seeing it with my own eyes. In case you are wondering… It’s the vineyard.


Wine tasting again… I tasted the most wine here, red and white.


Since it’s spring and the weather was great, camwhore for sure!


Love the views!

After this, we went to another winery. Will post soon.

Oh Needles!

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Oh Needles!

I think many of you don’t know yet… I don’t think I announce this before because it’s not confirmed yet. Or did I mentioned about it? I think I did. Whatever it is, here’s the progress, I’m shortlisted.

I had applied to be an exchange student in one of the universities in Busan, Korea, next year January for 3 weeks. It’s a schorlarship. I’m currently in the midst of getting the needed documents ready for submission and wait for green light from the Korea’s side. Submitted everything except medical exam report. Need to be certified that I’m not Hepatitis B and TB carrier.

Went to one medical centre to another just to get the test done and made appointment. Luckily it’s all nearby, around the corner.

Left: Yesterday, went to the Chest Clinic to get a Tuberculin Skin Test. Will go back on Friday to get the result.
Right: Today, went to get my blood tested for Hepatitis B, result will be out Friday or Monday.

Two continuous days greeted by needles for the sake of getting myself certified “clean” for application submission. It’s a good thing my OHSC covered them else I’ll be sooooo broke!

I hope I’ll get it after going tru’ all these troubles. *Finger crossed* If I got it, I’ll be blogging from Korea next year and spend my CNY there.

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.
