Bobbi Brown -good bargain during christmas

Bobbi Brown has this deluxe travel kit in this Christmas and I like it once I saw it in store. It is a lovely make up travel kit that you can organize the slots to suit your needs. It even has small movable slots for lipsticks ....it is a great and user friendly design. However, the box is ridiculously overpriced in Australia. Damn the retail here , it is about three times the price compared in America. The price here is AUD 345 while the price in America is US 115. For the exchange rate of nearly 1 to 1 , I am very stupid if I buy it in Australia. So, I try to find it on ebay and got it for 70USD . Although the posting cost is quite high, it is still cheaper to get it in America. So, I get a good bargain and also bought a leather brush holder from the same seller. It is time for me to organize my cosmetics ...hehe

Novel ...

Have not read chinese novel for aging.. but once I pick it up and I do not want to leave it .
I really enjoy reading "亦舒" a lot....Need to get more when I back to HK next time.

aren't they cute?

Randomly saw it on website. They are cute and lovely. If the crab necklace can come in white gold, then my wallet is going to be empty soon.

Ending.

It is finally the end. My heart feels a bit emty and I am quite sad about it. However, everything has a ending and hopefully a new chapter is coming soon.

Last year, it rained for the whole holiday and I stayed at home doing nothing ...um...
seem I must think of sth to do in case I waste another good time to play...

Congratulations! You got a seat at the Quay

Yeah.. Tao made the booking at Quay months ago and we were able to got the seat for lunch on 17th Nov. We flew to Sydney in the morning and had lunch before flew back to Brisbane at night.

I did not google anything much about this restaurant as I am not the type of person who fancy about food that much. Tao wanna tried this restaurant for ages as it is voted the best in Asia Pacific.

The Quay is a modern Australian restaurant located at the Sydney harbour. You can view both the opera house and the Sydney bridge over there. It is definitely one of the scenery to enjoy.

Tao ordered the tasting menu which involved one appetiser , three entree, three mains and two dessert.

The appetiser is one of the best I have ever tried. The smell..is so nice that I can still remember now. I keep sniffing the soup.......haha..

The first entree is smoked eel and scallop pearl. The smokey flavour is just about right. I cannot imagine how much time they use to make those little pearl .....the whole dish is a delicious arts.....yum.....one of the best among all.

The second entree is salad of pink turnips, and breakfast radishes, violets, pine resin. It is a very fresh salad and many ingredients that I have not tried before. The freshness of the veggie and the goat cheese had a great combination.

The third entree gentle braise of pearl oyster, squid and lobster velvet. It is very fresh and the flavour is mild. This is not my favourite one but Tao loves it very much...it is his favourite

First main is the Butter poached cotumix quail breast with foie gras pudding. I have never tried sth that smooth...the flavour mix with the foie gras is one of the best I tried. I think it would be better if the portion can be slightly smaller. Cos I felt overpowering at the end.....

Second main is poached blackmore wagyu fillet with tasmanian wasabi......oooo....One of the best I had ever tried in my life. I do not understand how poached wagye can be that soft ....it is so yum...with the fresh wasbi sauce...best combination ever. I wanna have one more...haha....

Last main is slow braised Berkshire pig jowl , maltose crackling and cauliflower cream. It is a sweet main dish and I have never tried sth like this before. The golden layer -malt...taste like sweet chicken skin with smokey flavor.....yum..yum...

First dessert: snow egg...I like it so much ..I saw it before on master chief (which I nearly forgot) ....but Tao said he had promised to eat with me next time...haha...This dessert is a mild sweet meal and get layers of texture. Even though it does not have any chocolate or cream (typical dessert ingredient), it is sure on my top list of dessert)

Hhaha...I get my surprise on this dessert !!!sh........................!!!!!!.

The final dessert is wild cherry compote , coconut cream and and chuao chocolate crumble. It is strong chocolate creamy dessert which I like. I like the crumble ....yum yum....

This meal is amazing....including flavour, decoration, service and also the bill :<)... It tooks us more than three hours to finish and we are both very satisfy.

I did not even eat dinner and breakfast for the next day as I am too full...hoho
