Bento Frenzy

Since visiting the new Kawaii shop on Gouger (once too many times), I've been obsessed with creating healthy pretty lunches for Pete & myself...the only problem is that I am now spending more time in the kitchen than in the studio doing my design projects >_< .... I am not going to get the Distinctions I was aiming for anymore T_T !!!

Anyhow, I'm sure this 'procrastination obession' will wear off, unless my complexion improves from all these fresh fruit and veg! Kind on our budget too (when I stop buying bento tools.....!)

Now the brag pics ^_^ ~

MY FIRST EVER BENTO CREATION...!

 

...Granny Smith Bunnies and Strawberry Love <3 ...="..." td="td">

...this was Bouba's dinner...he was halfway through the Broc...the large savoy sausages did not work out T_T...

...^_^ very pleased with how the Octopus Sausage turned out!

 

yummy mini burger - Breadtop

I was wondering around the Central Markets the other day (as I do) and popped into Breadtop to check out their Japanese Cheesecake, but what I ended up getting was this cute little burger (well, a few of them).....SO DELICIOUS!

La Trattoria

A very classy italian trattoria. The bruschetta was so good I didn't even think to photo it until it was ALL GONE. They are famed to have the best pizza maker in the world, Andy Parisis. The service provided was world class and the pizza - yes it was scrumptious!!!

Hotaru Restaurant, Adelaide

Saturday evening and we have not made any plans...

My FB status says twice ~ I have no life ~ its Saturday evening and I am on Facebook.
I'm drinking my organic red wine (2nd glass) and getting depressed when all of a sudden..
Hunger struck!

I grabbed Pete and off to Hotaru we went!

I wanted nothing but the Sushi boat and Teppanyaki mixed vegetables and Mango Sake, and was so content that when we got home at 11pm, I washed my face and went straight to -_-zzz!!!



like my accessories? details at end of post ^_^





Pete BROKE the little sushi boat *_*


 

looks like I'm eating a giant SLUG!!! O_o

 

the guy on the next table offered to take a pic seeing us taking so many pics (no shame ^_^)



The sushi was ORGASMIC....freshness was unbeatable! I esp loved the giant clam sushi and king fish sushi...

The mood was really relaxed and ambient, with simplicity and lots of head space as the main feature. They also have a cute and cosy function area where shoes arent allowed Japanese style, I had my birthday dinner in one of them last year and till today the girls have great memories of it (and all the gold sake too)!

Definitely a dining venue I hope to see stay successful and for many years to come <3

Can't stop thinking about food today....

Last night I had the weirdest dream (well, one of the weirdest ) which I remember vaguely ~ I was on a mission impossible type of mission, and in the end I had to make this BOMB to destroy the enemy's fort and leader (sounds like an anti-terrorism dream, no?!), and my boss gave me the bag which included the bomb ingredients to get started. I opened the bag and in there was box, I took it out and it was a LEMON BUTTER CAKE MIX x_O !!!

So I woke up at like 4.30am and started baking like no tomorrow ~
