Quick! Do a food post while I'm not in the mood for food... or else it'll be torturous, trying to blog about food on an empty stomach.
So it's time to finish off the post from yesterday. My sister is on the plane back to Australia for a week, and she'll be here in about 5 hours' time. Which means I have about 4 hours to sleep, and it'll be one long day, with my brother's graduation at 9:30, and then lunch, and then work at 2pm... when I get back, I WILL start on my classical essay, will HAVE to start on it, or else I'll be so dead this coming week.
And I will, might... maybe... also start memorising that (stupid) japanese speech. I did practically nothing today, and, for the first time in the 2 and a bit years of going to uni, I didn't go to any of my classes today. Which was only two hours really, and my friend told me not to worry, they did absolute zilch in class today. I tried so hard to go to uni, I really did... ^^'' but for the greater good of those in my classes, I didn't, coz I didn't want to spread some germs to them and have them fevered too.
So yeah, I was lying in bed half the day feeling sorry for myself (actually, it feels really bad having a fever, like you're too hot, but without the blankets, you get too cold. There's no comfortable in-between, and then after a while, you start seeing spots everywhere, it's annoying) and not willing to get out.
I digress.
Here is BB's blueberry bagel. Toasted, it's really nice, coz the top coat of sugar gets caramelized, though, they don't usually put enough sugar at all, so now I just get it as takeaway, in a paperbag, open a packet of raw sugar, pour it into the bag, shake it, and ta-da, you get a blueberry bagel that's nice and sweet. Not to mention crispy and warm. The thing about bagels are that they are so healthy (ok, maybe not my ones, I like mine covered with sugar), having been boiled in water, and then baked. It's like a healthy alternative of donuts!
Here you go, a nice pink flower for you. Yes, it is the same family as the white and pink one in the previous post.
On Ramen. It's been a place I wanted to try for a while, been walking past it quite often before, about a year ago. It's not a bad place. Bit small... but friendly ppl there.
Ordered a chicken katsu ramen set. Hm.. not too big helpings, was just right actually, inside the small covered pot is chilli powder. Salad was good (Japanese salads are always the best) and the katsu was good too. Ramen.. hm... wouldn't say it's the best, but they certainly knew what they were doing with the egg, coz it was the "special" kind of egg, where the centre was still fluidly soft. Their soup stock wasn't too bad either, but.. wouldn't beat Ryo's though. Rating would be a 5.5... leaning on 6 maybe. It passes.
This place- Sunflower, located near Broadway, on the same side of the road, on the way to Central, you'll know it by the plastic models of different crepes on plates at the display window. Doesn't look too nice, doesn't look too hygenic even from the outside, and I wasn't expecting the interior to look quite this modern even. Been wanting to try out this place for at least 2 years!
If you're interested, click for a bigger image. This is their main menu.
And their drinks and desserts menu. We ordered a main, a dessert and a drink. The thing with this place is that you would first go in, take a seat, look through the menu and then order at the counter, pay, before sitting back down and waiting for the food. It's actually quite good, because you won't have to worry about the bill during the meal at all- it's already paid for. I kinda prefer it like this.
Main came first- crispy chicken crepe. It looks nice~ came with garlic bread and a simple salad, bit of sweet chilli sauce, though it didn't really need any, since it had mustard sauce inside anyway.
Inside- crispy chicken, avocado, tomato, lettuce, mustard... not quite the Perfect combination of chicken, avocado, mushroom and cheese, but certainly gets bonus points for adding tomato in, and mustard.
Ahhh... the highlight. Our drink- green tea cappucino. One word: Awesome. It was ingenius, the combination of green tea and cappucino. The clever touch of caramel syrup on top decorated the white foam that concealed the green tea cappucino beneath, reminding us of where we are having this delightful cup of coffee- at Sunflower's. It felt almost too pretty to drink... I mean, you'd ruin the poor sunflower... =( Ok, so it was a bit pricy, normal cup of coffee would probably cost you about $2.80-$3.50, and this was $3.80, but seriously, at least try it once, it's quite special and really nice.
Lastly, the dessert, orange liquor, chocolate topping, banana and strawberry filled, served with whipped cream alongside and sprinkled lightly with icing sugar. I really never expected this to be hot. The crepe and the inside was hot, and the cream was cold. Eaten together, they contrasted beautifully and this is the first time I have a banana and strawberry combination, so it was unique to me. I don't regret trying out this place finally, and it certainly wasn't a disappointment. 7/10.
Next time I update might be a while. Got too much stuff to do... =(
