Tukka -second round




Sorry that because of the lighting and the quality of my iPhone, the photos are very vague.
It is not the first time we visited Tukka. It is a restaurant that serves indigenous ingredients. You can eat crocodile, emu, kangaroo and varieties of berries. It is for sure a good place if you want to experience real Australian food.
We went there last Saturday as we purchased a coupon for degustation menu on the Livingsocial website. It contained five courses. I really enjoy the smoked emu and smoked kangaroo as entree. Some of the berries on the tasting plates were quite sweet and created a good balance with the smoked salty flavor from the meats.
For the mains, we had crocodile and kangaroo. The kangaroo is one of the softest I had ever tried . Love it.
We had chocolate mouse as dessert. It was very smooth. I have not eaten any chocolate mouse for a while and it is for sure a winner for me.

My new coffee machine


Nespresso Pixi is my new coffee machine. I came across this machine for a long time but never thought I am able to afford it (I guess for such a hygienic and hi-tech stuffs must be very expensive). However, it is just a bit more expensive than normal coffee machine. It is for sure worth the money if you want to save some time for preparation and clean up. I am still trying the sample pack of capsule and will try to find out the flavour most suitable me.
