The week in brief
This week: ramen, breakfast for dinner, a girls’ night out, and lunch at Mirka at Tolarno Hotel.
On Monday we went to check out Kokoro Ramen – see my post here. (I know, I posted it already – what’s going on?!) 🙂
This was breakfast for dinner one evening, when I cooked up a ham and tomato omelette (tomatoes from my garden!) with rocket and avocado. Breakfast for dinner is such a winner. Ah, I’m such a poet…
On a different evening we had something more dinnerish – beef stir fry with a big spoon of my homemade chilli sauce, which I had on cauliflower rice. Alastair had normal rice – yes, I still cook him rice even though I don’t eat it. That’s love!
On Friday night, it was a girls’ night out with dinner and cocktails at Hoo Haa in Windsor. AHH I think the name is so silly… and all their cocktails had terrible silly names too. For example, this one was called Obscure Berrypecker, but it wasn’t the worst name – there was also one called Fluffy backed tit babbler. 😐
(We still had a good night, despite the silly cocktail names!)
Yesterday Alastair and I had brunch at Social Roasting Company in Flemington. Alastair had a big serve of baked eggs, and I ordered a tofu scramble with mushrooms. Hmm so much unami. 🙂 I also bought some coffee beans from them – can’t wait to try them out.
And finally, today we had lunch with Thanh, April and I-Hua at Mirka at Tolarno Hotel. There’s a fixed price menu in the bar area – we all had a 2 course meal with a glass of wine and coffee for a very reasonable $35 pp. The food wasn’t bad for the price.
Oh, and this is a picture of us about to eat Thanh’s dessert while he was out moving his car. Heh heh heh. That’s what happens if you leave food unattended…

Heh heh heh. I had to watch a couple of Labyrinth clips last night – so good! So hot! 😀

Oh thank god, I almost physically baulked at the name “Hoo Haa”, so was incredibly grateful to read your next sentence.
Oh, and I wish I could go back in time to when we first met and tell you that, right now, you’d willingly be ordering tofu scrambles. I’d like to see the look on your face.

M’dear, you forget that I’m Chinese and I LOVE tofu. :p A tofu scramble is not a big stretch.

Oops, my bad! I’ll save this comment for when you’re eating “scrambles” made with chickpea flour.
Except, damnit, you don’t eat legumes, do you? I can’t win.

Hah nope! Tofu’s not paleo either, so I don’t have it often now.
Save your comment for when I eat some weird vegan raw dessert. 😉

So did you guys actually eat into his dessert?! I thought Mirka was very reasonable for the price and I enjoyed the food.

Haha of course we didn’t eat his dessert… Mirka was definitely good for the price. 🙂

That ramen looks… significantly better than the ramen I make.
Significantly better.
Why do I torture myself by looking at beautiful food? Why do I do this? That food is beautiful.
