Ahhh - somehow vox got rid of all that I had typed up before!!!
Well back to what I had said:
Just reflecting on the Amazing Asian Food Safari that had occurrred in July when I was travelling with family to China (HaiNan Is), South Korea + HK.
Food is so much more affordable - you can snack up to 4-5 times AND come under budget of AUD$20!
Yes, snacking can become a past time for you if you want to take it up.
Well, since coming back home, I've wanted to continue trying new foods - I've since been to a nice Spanish rest. in the city on Liverpool st (?) - need to get back to you on that one.
But the food is fairly affordable and the atmosphere is really great!
Tapas don't come cheap, but then I suppose you share the cost and it turns out to be ok!
Artichoke hearts are very nice! More abt that in future post!
Anyway, Jaye came over to drop off a few things and she also bought over a Thai desert that I'm rather fond of (well I'm rather fond of anything sweet...)
Back in the origin land - this coconut-sago pudding/desert is encapsulated in either banana leaf or Pandan leaf which would really impart a heavenly aroma!!
Note, previously that I've successfully completed a pandan sponge - but the aroma isn't as evident in the sponge most likely cos I used pandan essence instead of the real deal.
Anywho, I did find the desert very nice, creamy, rich in the mouth. Contrary to what Jaye said, the desert wasn't too sweet, cos the coconut cream does well to balance out the sweetness of the sago layer underneath.
I give 7.5/10.
Here is eye candy.

P.S Almost forgot what I was meant to be bloggin abt...well on Friday class (Nutrition + Public/Community Health) - my friends and I were discussing cereals and breakfast foods of the grain family...
How to eat Weetbix---make it all nice and soggy in the microwave - it tastes better when its in porridge like consistency.
Cocopops - never leave them to get soggy - even if you get a really nice choccy milk afterwards.
You got to time yourself so you get it not too crunchy and not too soft + soggy.
Miloflakes - again 100% sugar and I assume high GI, but they don't go soggy as quickly as coco-pops.
They also leave a choccy flavoured milk behind too!
Cornflakes came into contention as well. Sora (who isn't fond of crunchy things??) said that one should leave them to soak up the milk!!! *shock horror* WHO does that?
Personally I really enjoy the crispness of cornflakes - so I pour out proportionally less milk and try to gobble it up in record breaking time.
Vincent on the other hand had one very smart way to go about this. Eat cornflakes in smaller bowls so there is less time for the flakes to soak up milk. Then refill your bowl until you get full!!
LOL - that is the most practical food tip I've heard for a long time! :)
Hope it comes to use for you too!
