Workout!

On Sunday, I went for a walk in Kings Park after a heavy brunch in Catalanos Vic Park, swam and then spent 15 minutes in the steam room/sauna in Fitness First. (I don't remember when was the last time I exercised.) I love to eat more than exercise hence it was a good workout for my body and heart! :) 

 The original plan was to grab a cup of coffee and light sandwich but my friend said that her boss loves this restaurant-ended up having food there for the first time :)

Salmon Fettuccine Pasta- not too cheesy and heavy. Just nice!

Mango Chicken Salad- the chicken + mango sauce = yum!

 We couldn't swim straight after consuming the food therefore walking in Kings Park was the best option.

Photo Diary from Margaret River

On the road! Weather wasn't good for swimming or standing by the beach! grrrrr!

'Sunset' view from Canal Rocks.

The famous Busselton Jetty.

Crunchy nut +cold milk before bed.

Next day @ Margeret River in Voyager Estate. Had no wine but walked around their beautiful garden!

Rose garden.

Perth City should have a garden like this to attract people like me! :)

Stopped by Dome for some late lunch (all the other shops were closed!) and that's what I had. Was so hungry I could eat a cow.

Good weather at Eagle Bay but water's still cold as ice. :(

Wild Strawberry yoghurt for Breakfast.

English Breakfast yum yum!

Toby Inlet's back garden. There's a river behind these trees.

Sugar Loaf Rock on the end of Sugar Loaf Road.

Yummy Chocolate Tart from Dunsborough Bake Shop.

Spent two days in Dunsborough as we scored a good deal on Scoopon where we paid half the price to stay in Toby Inlet Bed and Breakfast. The trip wasn't the best as we don't know how to appreciate what the region offers- wine, cheese, olives etc.

But our purpose of going there were to unwind and relax by the beautiful beaches and most importantly, runaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. (Although the traffic + population + sky scrapers @ my country are far more worst than here!) These are some pictures that I took with my Iphone as I left the beloved camera at home.

Yummy enough?

Have you ever felt like having something sweet in the middle of the day and would open the fridge, looked for 5 seconds and find that there’s nothing you would love to eat? You would then close the fridge and continue what you’re doing. Minutes later, you would repeat the opening and closing fridge process again for a few times until you find something to eat? If that doesn't happen to you, well then; that’s what I do most of the times and I ended up eating something different every day.

A cuppa with either three little petite pastries or a slice of chocolate cake on a Sunday afternoon is one of the moments in life that I enjoy most. Especially when accompanied with my family or close friends. Honestly, I prefer sitting down nibbling on food rather than shopping (Not that I don’t like to shop) as I personally think that I communicate better this way. In my native language, we call it ‘Yum Cha’ which means ‘Drink Tea’.

Ohhh! I munch on cookies or nuts every time I watch MasterChef. (So that I don't feel hungry?)

If the above applies to you, you should continue reading. 

Since I actively seek quality desserts (they don’t have to be expensive) and sometimes, make my own desserts. I will be recommending my favourite desserts and discoveries so that you know where to go and what to order. To those who prefer to enjoy the process of making your own desserts (measuring ingredients and mixing them up), I will be sharing recipes that I tried and found useful from books and websites. 

I am aware that there are hundreds (maybe more) of dessert/ food blogs out there but this blog is different because it’s based in Perth, Western Australia and it introduces Perth’s multicultural cuisine to the world. I do not have to fly all the way to Paris for macarons, I do not have to wait for summer break to fly home for all the street food because Perth offers most of these just a stone throw away.

It doesn’t matter whether you are interested in baking, mastering the art of baking or purely searching for places to enjoy these delicacies. (I am not a professional food critic or a professional baker). All I want to do is share my knowledge and experience that revolves around this topic.
