Ok guys ^^, this is one of my favourite dish EVER and it cost only about $8! It is very hot and spicy and satisfying. I love this dish so much that I eat it at least once a week every week haha :) It's called 'spicy noodle soup' from Thainatown, a casual Thai restaurant at Goulburn st. There is fish ball, fish cake, pork, crab stick, pork crackle, etc (which means I don't know what else is there). If you love spicy, you have to give this a try. Just be prepared to get addicted though :p
Pan fried squid, chorizo and baby potatoes with tomato jam, roast garlic aioli and radicchio. Oh My God I love tender squids such as these ones. Paired with my other favourite things to eat such as aioli, potatoes and chorizo. Well, at least my drink is healthy :) I had this at Sydney Dance Company cafe which I go often for the dance classes. Yeay eating and dancing ^^

Duck and truffle tortelli with butter and sage. From Pasta Emilia, Surry Hills. My drink is sparkling orange wine (!!) which is super lovely (I've never had orange wine before). This place is very close from where I live too :)

Yogurt cake & a big cafe latte from Room 9, Surry Hills. I LOVE the cake. The service is so lovely, after eating the tuna and then this, I couldn't finish my cake, so they offered to wrap it up for me to bring home. I love good service!

I can finish a big bowl of that!

I had the rosebud tea which is lovely. Overall it was a fun day with my girlfriend although the service is a bit slow and lacking. I understand the slow service as the room is quite busy but I find the service is not very friendly either. I'd say my high tea overall experience at Sir Stamford Circular Quay is so much more memorable & enjoyable.

DINNER & COCKTAILS AT FOOD SOCIETY, DARLINGHURST:
Spiced apple pie and Watermelon caiprioska cocktails. I had dinner here the other week and OMG the foods and the cocktails are fabulous. Their fried cauliflowers signature dish is sensational and everything else (I had pork belly pierogi, lamb shoulder with yogurt and grilled cuttlefish with squid ink) is faultless. The price is very reasonable and the service is very friendly and knowledgeable too. I would mark it 10/10. Looking forward to going back there soon.
These Carvo Caramel Vodka I had at Food Society is out of this world. I'd really love to buy a whole bottle of this!
The beautiful bathroom at Food Society. Oh they also have live music on Sundays. How thoughtful & wonderful!

I absolutely love this almond granita. Beautiful almond flavour and just the right amount of sweetness. So good!!!
This place make awesome gelato sticks!
An Italian egg based cream gelato drizzled with balsamic from Modena.
Simplicity at its finest. A white cream pure gelato with a touch of Madagascar aromatic bourbon vanilla. One of my favourite flavour from my favourite gelato place.
The BEST lemon sorbet I've ever had. Taste so fresh and delightful and lemony without it being too tart/too sweet and the texture is soooo smooth.
The fruits of the forest sorbet from Rivareno. This sorbet has such a good rich juicy flavour, without it being too sour/too sweet. I just love everything that Rivareno sells.
CHOCOLATE
A box of chocolates from Oliver Brown. The one that shaped like a donut is my favourite.
MORE ICE CREAM!
Love these 5 Magnum kisses:
1st First kiss - Creme brulee
2nd Loving kiss - Meringue et fruits rouges
3rd Passionate kiss - Tiramisu
4th Flirty kiss - Chocolate gateau
5th Stolen kiss - Apple tart
Hmm, I have to say though that the 2nd kiss should be the stolen one, the third kiss should be the flirty one, the fourth should be the passionate one, and the fifth/ last should be the loving one. Wouldn't that be the right/normal order?
Hello, Magnum???
THE END! (yeay now I can eat)
LONG LIFE EATING!
