Perth Day 2: Subiaco

Had a difficult time waking up...  hard to get up from our comfortable bed. Our host Wendy & Jason is just so kind. Not only providing us with 6 stars accommodation, they even brought us to the BEST Vietnamese Noodle Stall for breakfast

 The stall is at Subiaco. I like the outdoor feel of this place. Fresh produce is just a few steps away

 Nice market place with lotsa fruits...

 Getting a cappuccino from this French Bakery that smells really good

 Vietnamese Spring Roll

 Waiting for food anxiously.

 Our lovely host, Wendy & Jason.

 Beef pho (very flavourful, slightly spicy)

 Beef Pho ... YUMS!!!!!! The meat is just so tender. The soup is SUPER DUPER AWESOME!

 Alex loving the chicken... double thumbs up from this hard to satisfy food critic!!!

 Wendy even got another chicken wing just 4 Alexander. Thank god he ate something. Most of the time, he will just try a bit and refuse the food. A bit worried that he will be fed by me for 2 weeks and usually I'll just let him be if he refuse food. So there... if you are wondering why he is so skinny.

 Fresh fruits are abundance.... and reasonably priced too. So many types of fruits to choose from **hing ar**

Consumed enough Vit C to last a few days from those free samples hahahahah... Bought a few types... good as snack in the car.

Subiaco, known locally as simply Subi. Will explore this place when we got the chance.

Ting Noodle, Ban Hock Road

I had the infamous Taiwan Stew Beef Noodles, ~RM5 @ Ting Noodle, along Ban Hock Road (opposite Continental Hotel) with friends. Side-dish of fried dumplings was awesome. Got Milk Tea with pearl too... ah.... that was good too...

Say it with ME... YUM!

This is not the sweet type like the ones offered at Lam's Place. Some people commented that it taste almost like the Beef Noodles at Taiwan. What a compliment le! I dunno as I've not been to Taiwan. The noodle's texture is nice & the soup taste Ok, but I find that the stew beef are cut into quite big pieces & sometimes it's quite tough la.

When people ask me about Ting Noodle House, I'll tell you that the owner, also the cook is very unique. Once you stepped into that shop, you will not missed him one. He wears a white headband all the time that holds his "REALLY BIG CURLY" hair together.

To celebrate these auspicious occasions, who will start a new chapter in their life, we went for lunch at My Restaurant, one of my fav place to hav western food.My lunch, Lamb Shoulder RM32... a really tasty, BIG portion, even me, the "most tham chiak person in the world " had a hard time finishing it. Hubby had Aussie Chix Chop RM28 which is rich with cheese & mustard. Loved the cheese, hate the mustard. I had it long time ago & forgot to warn hubby about the mustard part. SexyLips had Pork Ribs & Bacon, he was enjoying it a lot , even using licking his finger hahhaha. We all shared & "belanja" him last lunch with us as "Lithorian"Making a wish before blowing out the candle...TrendyBoss cutting the birthday cake. See hubby's mouth... cannot wait to taste the Blueberry CakeThis is for betraying me SexyLips... who placed more importance on $$ then fren...hhmmmppp...Ended the twin celebration with a funny looking group photoBossLiau, SexyLip's very shy supervisor belanja us little ones dinner at Pai Jia Le, BDC.

I heard that a MUST TRY DISH is the Curry Prawn Indonesian Style and it did not disappoint.. Looks at the delicious looking prawn... ohh... make me so hungry now. The soup was so milky, I had 3 bowls of it.

The "Hu Ju" Fried Pork was GOOD!This "Hong Zhau" stir fried pork was ok lar... I never eat this kind of food before.

No kissing la...
No sharing of utensils
No sharing of food & even drinks

and he fell sick by the next day... poor baby...

and today, the person sitting next to me in the office, Snoopy is on MC hahahhaah...

Wendy is BACK!

A surprise visit from Wendy... who is back from Perth for a holiday. Our young & full of energy ex-colleague... she's so much younger ~5 years from us (Sexylips & me) but is very mature in thinking le... no bullshit, straight forward kinda girl.

Last Saturday, our 1st outing was to Bing at Jalan Keretapi, the newest branch, us girls only Wendy, Sexylips, SexyBum & me. The place was HOT in red! From outside it looks kinda huge but in actual case, the interior very small le. Lucky we were there early to grab those comfy sofa seats.

Chocolate Fudge Cake... yum yum... SexyLips even got 2nd helping of the whipped cream for me... now u know why I'm getting so fat le.SexyLips is still in the growing phrase... he ordered Panini (sandwich thingy) & warned me to stay away. Who wants that... when I got my usual Ice Blended thingy, this time it's Vanilla with lotsa whipped cream. With the member card, got 10% discount yo hoooo. Spent the night just catching up la... the last I saw her was last year CNY.Then on Sunday nite last week, we had Wii Party!

A night out @ tHe Spring shopping for SHOEs! Girls can never hav enuf of it. Visited the all-new 2nd floor... it was like stepping into Sungei Wang. The Cinema is not opened yet, but now recruiting members for RM110 (100 is Prepaid & Members Fee is RM10 (normal price is RM20). So you can purchase movie ticket at the kiosk using the prepaid card, cool le.

Before heading home, Wendy, SexyBum & me shared 2 scoops of Dessert's Ice-cream. Guava & Banana with caramel, both low fat one le... I was suggesting we get 3 scoops but Wendy reminded me of my difficulty in wearing my work pants... le sigh...And today, our night last out before Wendy depart for Perth, at Jase's Tea Room... but I don't drink tea except green tea lar...

Warm ambiance, very homey with sheer curtain & comfy settee... we got there at 8.30pm and we had the place to our self. But as the night wore on... surprisingly many more people turned up... Kuching people really like lim teh le..

The bottles of the TEA Leaves where customer can decide which tea the wan...

While waiting for our drinks, I walked around admiring the decor... and I spotted these. Mayb it's not very clear here but there were lotsa spider web on this piece of ornament... ewww...I just could not decide on which tea to get, so I got Affogato, RM5.80. A scoop of Vanilla ice-cream, and topped with a hot shot of espresso. haha... IN the end I still stick to coffee. Affogato meant "drowned" in Italian.Wendy & SexyBum both got a pot of tea, Mango Flip & Pina Colada, RM9 per pot le. But can refill with hot water la. The waiters there are very young & super helpful. Wendy liked hers & SexyBum regret choosing Pina Colada

We shared 2 slice of cakes, Rum & Raisin Cheese on fire hahaha... it's bcoz of Wendy's camera flash.Mascarpone Cheese RM8 Very rich, very nice.Us girls... SexyLips was standing on the coffee table to take this shoot. He said it's the 45 degree shot that can make my face slimmer... & it really did... looks at how high my cheekbone are hahahahahaHere's a normal shot of us... using timer on Wendy's Camera..

Then Wendy suggested we do crazy posed & I turned into something so fugly damn itHave a safe trip back home Wendy.
