Sydney - Eats 1



I cannot say this enough. When in Sydney you must visit Mother Chu's Kitchen.



One of my favourite breakfast spots when in town. Dumplings and buns are made fresh on day, non of that frozen prepackaged nonsense.Besides a Chinese breakfast is hard to come by. Don't think I've ever had anything quite like this until I was introduced.



Centre Front -egg pancake Mid-Left to Right -warm soy milk,pork congee(Chinese rice porridge), glutinous rice roll with yu-tiao Back Right -yu-tiao



Yu-Tiao, literally translated "Oil Stick" is also known as Chinese Doughnut or Fried Bread Stick. This is commonly dipped in congee, soy milk or eaten as is.



I highly recommend their fried pork bun!

 

Viola! Breakfast for two :)

What better excuse :)



Baking for a good cause. All proceeds go towards Cure Kids research !! Come and grab your Red Nose Day treat today from Qubic Store. What better excuse do you need :)

Cake Day!



It's no secret how much I like cake. I've been planning to bake my birthday cake for months, finally decided on a Devils Food Raspberry Bombe

Nothing like a good combination of berries,chocolate and a splash or two of dark rum
Taa-Daa!!

Going!

Going!

Gone!

Oh wait! I was surprised with an additional cake during end of day. Oh I love the Qubic whanau. Couldn't ask for more, loving the two cake combo *big thanks

Pre Marathon Eats!



I've been waiting to carbo load since the beginning of year. I tried to cramp in as much food possible during the last 24hrs before the marathon. I'm just glad i managed to wake up in time for the run in the morning after the food induced coma.



Baked a Strawberry Chantilly







Ordered two 18" Pizzas. Notice the size of the Pizza sitting on the stove top!



here's an indication of how big a slice is placed on a plate



Pasta



Chips,chips and more chips



a little Afghan to break the routine



fried rice, on top of it all there was Pad Thai, two bowls of rice, and a massive bowl of cereal :)
