Jordan's Seafood

honestly....I wouldnt pay to go there again...

*entree: oysters -- $33/dozen-- price was OK but damn! they were so small! we had to share between 4 people so that...3 oysters each...which was literally 3 gulps of...something...couldnt taste it*



*Mains: Snapper Fillet, Seafood pasta, Salmon Fillet and Steak - ave $30/main-- hmm what can I say? Portions were not very big, the plates were quite bare (i.e. no sides) and not tasty*

*Desert: Jordan's Encore--$29-- practically saved the meal! We couldnt decide on the dessert so we picked the one that had a bit of everything! Highly recommend the Creme Brulee and Tiramisu!* =)

No idea what the hype over Jordan's Seafood is all about! Its pricey for the food we ate! I could pay half that price and be ten times more satisfied at any other restaurant! Admittedly, we didnt have their signature Seafood Platter, but I was still expecting abit more than that. Well thank god we knew about the offer *buy one main get one free!!* and thank god we were Myer card holders! ^^

Yeah there's this really good website that tell you all about different promotions going on around Australia and also any sales, bargains etc and not just food! got to: ozbargain.com.au

Osakaaa aka Underground Japan

Or so some people say...and I completely agree! =)

*Kita-tanabe: the station we called HOME*

...Tokyo Tokyo... =)

Didnt take many photos around Tokyo coz we weren't there for very long. This was in front of the Omote-sando Hills...a very rich area 0.o This was just off Harajuku Lane, which I didnt find very special at all. Don't know what the hype is all about..hmmpphh

Perhaps the most memorable of all Tokyo (other than shopping at Shibuya 109 on the FIRST day of sales!!) was...Kabuki-CHO! had awesome Ramen at this place...

*LOOK AT THAT LINE!! from all the china tourists!*

And also....UFO catchers!!

*heart* Kabucki-cho!

Our Prized Collectionss frm KabukiCHO...takes alot of skills OK?

We even caught a live fugu *blowfish* for Jess, but it scared her so we gave him away. His name was...JAC-chan! ---> stands for Joycie Ann Crystal...coz we caught it! =)

hmm more on Osaka lateerrr! =)

Because I love to eat…

So I’m dedicating a whole entry to ALL the food I ate in Japan!!! My friends and I always used to say that we’re eating fake takoyaki, fake ramen, fake sushi etc etc since it was'nt really 'authentic'.

Well well, HERE is the REAL DEAL!!

REAL Takoyaki

REAL Soba

REAL Sushi


REAL Macha IceCream

REAL Salmon Sashimi


REAL Udon


REAL Mochi

REAL BentoBox

REAL Unagi

REAL Karaage

REAL Strawberry Sponge Cake with REAL strawberry layering!!

REAL Giant Parfait

REAL okonomiyaki

Thanks to all this, I actually put on 3kgs!! Got an ear-bashing from my mama as soon as I got back to aussieLand. But can I just say…IT WAS REALLY REALLY WORTH IT!! xD

The Celebration Continues...

So as the title suggests, the celebration continues =)
On my birthday DAY, My family and I went to dinner at East Ocean in Chinatown:

Although slightly overpriced, I have to say the dishes were really really fresh~! On the left is the Wasabi Beef, which was one of their 'specialties', I think. And special, it was!! Tender beef marinated with wasabi (somehow) and then you dip it in some mayo. Thoroughly delicious and a MUST TRY if you go there! One the right is the very very super fresh Barramundi~ so fresh that they actually brought it out live to us before they cooked it!

Typical 'overpriced-chinese-restaurant' setting, but for once, the asian waiters/waitresses were'nt rude. They were actually really polite and accomodating!

For the first time this year, we didnt have a proper birthday cake (no one bought one!!). But that day, one of my friends kindly bought me some cake-thing for my birthday from her favourite cake shop. I have no idea why she bought me two, but just as well, since we were celebrating my sister's bday at the same time. We do that every year since I'm born a day after my sister ~ I always tell her that I'M her present XD

and SURPRISE surprise: Some of my closest girlfriends from this year dropped by my house randomly and shoved this cake in my face...

I know, its such a "WhatTheHellIsThis" kinda cake. HAHA they actually made this!
The base: SaraLee cheesecake
and the rest?

I think its frozen yoghurt/ice cream, with random pieces of kinder surprise chocolate (with the kinder surprise toy in it) and oreas, decorated with pink and white marshmalows and lollipops, and topping it all of is the SUPERMAN HERO picture!!. Hmmmm I was almost afraid to eat it!

And suprise present- TIFFANYssssss! =)

Or as my friend Joycie likes to call them: TIT FANNIESSS!

=) My first pair. I always think that getting Tiffany's is like a rites of passage. In fact, I told my sister that if I didnt get one by my 21st, the she has to get one for me! But this is the first time I have ever felt truly touched by my friends. Definitely a birthday to remember! Celebrating the ToYoTa style

Still a TEENager

SO I'm now twenty!! But I'd like to think of it as twenteeeeeeeen! Because being a teenager is fun-ER! and cool-ER! and bet-tER!

*my girlies tal.joycie.sxcMel*

*The food at I'm Angus! *

simply delicious! so tender, so scrumptions...let me tell you, it melts in you mouth! (literally!)

*Cupcake from Cupcake on Pitt as an alternate bday cake =)*

*Getting carried away at Shark Hotel*

All in all, such a great night! got home at 7am in the morning (making my dad angry was worth it!). Bumped into my bro and his friend before and after clubbing, obviously drunk, so was very embarassing! Always wonder why (oh WHY?) my brother is everywhere I am when I'm not being 'good'? =(

Did everything possible that you could do on a night out in Sydney:

Eat, Drink, Club and Karaoke XD

the fun-nEST and cool-EST and best-EST night ever!
