One fine Saturday in Adelaide

Finally!! a day without assignments, quiz(still pending LOL), work and class-SATURDAY YO!
Saturday has always been my favourite day since i come to Adelaide. Me and my roomate will always go grocery shopping during this day and sometimes even brunch for a great kickstart. Exploring the city by food hunting is simply an art *hahaha.

And today me and my girls went food hunting, again. This time around is somewhere we found in urbanspoon and has rating as high as 90% and immediately we are like O.O LOL.  It is a place call 'Paddy's Lantern' at Gilbert Street, 5 mins away from chinatown. We took the tram and got off at chinatown and we walked for a while and finally reach with the help of Googlemap :D

Tadaaaa! our brunch place *yay
It was full house, had to wait for bout 15 mins before we finally got a table. 
So they only provide a few choices for breakfast/ brunch
The online reviews say that their coffee is a must try! *netizens have ranked this coffee shop as top three coffee shop in Adelaide* WOW So, i ordered my usual, Mocha.

And Michelle ordered Hot choc. 
The Mocha tastes more like cofee than mixture of choc and coffee. I prefered more choc taste though.
For food choice, I had a hard time choosing but in the end i have made up my mind for this,
It is today's special- mixed vege tomato soup with sourdough toast. Rating 9/10 . It is really a good try, unlike the usual big breakfast i always have. The sweet and sour minestrone like vege soup goes really well with the toast. $13.
While my roomate ordered another today's special. 
Not quite sure about the name but as you can see, they have kales, potatoes and the sauce is sour and spicy.$15
Ends up we had a really satisfying meal, if you want to treat your taste bud with the unusual, 
Paddy's Lantern it is. Nice environment, good service, good food and good coffee.
Imma happie gurl. :P

So after brunch we went to shop for abit,
not this piece though! girlsbeinggirls ;D

After the session, we decided to head back to Victoria Square for this,
 Fork on the Road Adelaide


Availabe 12pm-9pm only today.
It is an event where all the food trucks gathered together, and sell varieties of delicacies and desserts from all around the world. I am glad that we made it here. They have churros, burgers, fish and chips, burritos, desserts, charkueyteow, pork ribs, bao etc etc. It is basically like an upgrade version of 'pasarmalam' back in Malaysia. LOL
Well, though i know i promised myself that i wont have dessert anymore for the next three months but how can you resist an event like this? dietfail.
SO,we walked around like a happy kid and tried a few of them
Honey coated dough with nuts, $5 for 6 balls, taste like 'Yaocharguai' back in Malaysia, except that it is the sweeter version


Chocolate Waffle stick! $6. Not a great deal though as it tastes exactly like the normal ones, but still, thumbs up for the creativity cause as we walked around, people kept asking where we got it from. :D

Korean Fried riceballs, 3 for $5. Basically it is fried rice ball coated with flour and deep fried. Not a wow.

It is really a nice Saturday, you can see everyone chilling here with their families, kids playing around, food scent everywhere. Everything is just PURFECT.

Owh and the last one we had was the south american style fried sweet potatoes which is $8 for 8 sticks. The sauce is the one that makes it good. We definitely had a great time there, happy tummy and happy us. Wheeeeeee~~
So that's my kind of Saturday in Adelaide, hows yours?

Long Lost Fweeend O.O

ALOHA! Sorrie for not being that hardworking to keep my blog constantly updated. Especially this ong long break from blogging since June. It has been great two months. Well, allot was going on and i didnt even managed to finish my Sydney trip and now Melbourne trip post is lining up behind. So here i made myself a promise:
- This blog will be (hopefully) updated every Wednesday and Sunday (at least once)

Although i know this is hard for me (Working and studying now) but i really wanna do this cause i think the outcome will be awesome (as a life tracker). :D

This two month has been good, not great but at least not bad. Had my fifth sem done, and went to Melbourne. Life is about making lemon to lemonade so i guess my life is not that bad afterall :P

Hokie, i gt to update my Sydney trip so that i can get it published by tmr. heh CIAO!
