Arm yourself with Food!

So if you're reading this on the 11th, which is when it'll be scheduled to be released, I'll have you know that it's actually not written very much in advanced, haha. I ran out of scheduled posts! At one point, I had 9 all lined up and ready to go, then I got lazy and now I have... 0. Gonna work hard tonight for a bit even though I'm already quite.. sleepy.

I don't understand that white highlighting either! It's so strange, they just randomly show up in the published version, but when I go into my posts to edit, it's not there. I'm a total noob at websites and html, all that, but I had to manually delete all the span tag that makes the font background white... where do they come from!!

From 06.12
Anyway, I can't fix it without knowing how they get there in the first place, so... getting back on topic, this was from a high school catchup! This was their "Seasonal Sharing Plate with Italian casa panotte bread – mini sundried tomato and mushroom arancini balls, Baked ricotta blended with olives and sundried tomato and Caprese salad – tomato, basil and boconcini".

With a wonderful view, the Armory Wharf Cafe at Newington was really crowded that day... I remember it was a Saturday, so no wonder. Above: "Zucchini and fennel fritters with cucumber, garlic yoghurt dressing".

From 06.12
BT's Crispy fried soft shell crab w/ pineapple & chilli salsa, served on a salad of pickled cucumber, rocket, spanish onion, Vietnamese mint and coriander.

From 06.12
GZ's Crispy battered flathead fillets w/ beer battered chips & a side of lemon, caper & garlic aioli.

From 06.12
Armory Ploughman's Lunch – Patchett's pork pie (served at room temp.), olive and basil sour dough, tomato chilli jam, pickled baby gherkins, caramelised onion potato frittata, selected brie and heidi gruyere cheese! FL and I shared this between the two of us because we wanted to be greedy and have dessert after this! Loved the selection of this dish though, won't get bored eating it!

I love soft cheese. The creamy, smooth texture with crackers... XD Hard cheese is ok too (kraft's cheddar anyone? With butter cream over a sponge cake~)

Their pie was pretty good too, but a bit small, though I guess this is really meant to be a one-person dish.

From 06.12
JL's Corn and Zucchini Cakes served with smoked salmon with dill yoghurt sauce, avocado and tomato salsa, roquette.

From 06.12
Dessert time! Blackberry and Raspberry Flan~ I guess we could have gone a little more creative with the dessert... oh well, next time! Will be back here anyway, since it's on the cafe series database~

JL was wearing this... love the colours of this onitsuka tiger! Cannot. Justify. Getting. Another. Pair. Of. Tigers....

Then we cycled! For 2+ hours straight! Rented bikes from nearby and rode all the way to Ikea, which was pretty fun. I haven't cycled like this since 4 years ago in Kyoto! We didn't have very much time to stop by Ikea though, only had time to grab a soft serve for 50c and rode all the way back, trying to beat the setting sun and return the bikes before the shop closes.
