randomness

YAY i am blogging again because i have finally thought of something to blog about. Soo today i went to Bob's kitchen for lunch =D had dumplings, some other dish and one of my favourites.. the taro (yam) pancake. The reason for it being my favourite is not only the brilliant taste, but the texture.. crunchy on the outside.. warm gooey chewy on the inside!

In there we were surprised to see someone that we hadn't seen for a long time. We saw the sister of the owner of Fortuna Village in China Town, which has closed down already ><.. She told us her brother has opened up a new restaurant in Nunawading. Supposedly it's famous for it's Peking Duck. I think i read that somewhere in the newspaper once. We also saw my dad's friend Peter. He's just bought a new Honda Civic. He's a nice guy.. regularly acting as a food critic for us, telling us good and bad restaurants.

After lunch we went into the neighbouring asian grocery which has reopened after a fire ripped through it. Supposedly the police have found no evidence to how the fire had started.. but i have my own opinions... At the moment, one of the other asian grocers in Kings Way called Win Sam owns about 5 shops. I suspect that they deliberatly lit fire to this grocer to try and get rid of their competition. Pretty cool theory aye xD

That grocery is my new favourite asian grocer due to the fact that they have so much imported food from Malaysia <3

KOPIKO <3
SHANDY <3 Lemonade with a hint of beer. When i was 10 in Malaysia, my cousins from Kota Kinabalu introduced me to this stuff. I was addicted straight away. Oh and im allowed to buy it because shandy in a can has a very diluted alcohol content =D
HONEY STARS! <3 one of my favourite cereals in Malaysia. Also doubles as a nice crunchy snack xD
I didnt buy this, but i found it quite funny. I think it was tomato flavoured twisties, and as you can see... FOR SALE IN MALAYSIA ONLY o_o

Today i also went swimming for the first time in over 6 months. Me and my sister went to Monash Uni to use their pool. I dont think i've been there in over 4 years and it looks the same although everything seems smaller.. until you hop in the pool. So since there were lessons being held me and my sister decided to do laps. 40 laps of the 25m pool. not bad for a return.... o_o but it's okay im not a pro swimmer, i stopped after each lap xD and also decided to walk a few... i've also realised how unfit i am.. i got tired after 8 laps and also my arms were hurting after 5.. ><

Anyway this post has already gone for too long.. and i had more to say xD so ill post it for you another time.
