Food Blog

Recent weeks has provided a few occasion for eating out as part of a couple of celebrations

The first is at "Shira Nui" Japanese Restaurant at Glen Waverley on 26th August for Carol's birthday. We have been here for lunch before but always never seem to be able to book for dinner as the place is often packed out

The food here is very authentic as the chef and staff are all Japanese. The following seared Salmon is one of their speciality. I like their chawanmushi which is only serve on set lunch menu.






Yummy Lamb Cutlets

Then on Fathers Day 6th Sep 09, we went to Mabrown味也同 in Balwyn for some Quails and some typical Malaysian dishes such as Yong Tau Fu, Sambal Snapper fish, Pipa duck, Fry eggplant in claypot etc. The service is very slow but customers come for the food and not the service. The price is very reasonable


The famous Spicy Quails - 7 birds @$6.50 each cut into 14 halves



The Pipa or Chinese Banjo Duck


The Sambal Fish

Note: pictures are taken from other food blogs as we did not take any picture on that night. But the pictures looked identical to what we had.

Father's Day Gift - Gold class movie pass

We went for a movie on Monday night. It was a Fathers' day gift from the children but we are only free on Monday.

I changed the movie from "Taking of Pelham 123" to UP as I am always a Pixar fan or a kid at heart. For me, to relax means to watch a kid movie and not some action packed Psychological thriller. It was also our first experience in a Gold Class cinema in Australia.

Well the movie is much more than just a kid movie, according to my observation and some critics views, the following statements are quite true:

1. “fusing childhood fantasies of escape with adult feelings of melancholy and regret”

2. Rich symbolism:the house= the weight of the past, the balloons= freedom offered by imagination of the future.

3. Don't let the reality of life's burden & responsibilities stop you from living out your spirit of adventure..

4. some of our childhood heroes can be very disappointing when we really know them
