Hikkaduwa new buses


Only few new buses operate but amazing!!
I noticed there are no broken seats, neither  no holes
in this bus. I cannot help wiggling my head as Sri Lankans or Indians
do because of the music played in a bus.

A light snack at Tim Ho Wan


The restaurant is located at the entrance to Town Hall station  opposite to the cinema.
It is so convenient to grab a snack.

Pumpkin money bag was surprisingly good, normally I don't have fried foods but my friend recommended to have this.   A prawn with a sauce inside the bag savoured to the taste.

Our another order -Dumplings -spinach, prawn and scallop wrapped in a thin rice pastry
were also delicious.

Goodie goodie on my special day at Makoto Sushi Sydney


At 11:30  I was at a door of Makoto sushi for my special day.

I already checked what they have on a menu in advance.

Sushi, Nigiri is a good idea...

My fav. scampi and Uni sea urchin just melted in a mouth......

Oyster sushi was nice,too, I haven't seen Oyster sushi in Japan before but why not in Sydney....!






                                       That white Nigiri isn't Yukimi Daifuku (Snow watching  Rabbit
                                       Rice cake)  ,  it is squid Nigiri

Let's try vegemite twist

If you are an Aussie, you love the taste of vegemite.  And a vegemite sandwich

is a snack to bite.

But if you are not Aussie,  it is hesitate to have vegemite, for sure.

Try this vege twist then. I have never heard of this until recently.

For a Japanese it tastes like Miso paste really.

PICO , The best milk chocolate



I like PICO ,not only it is an ORGANIC Milk Chocolate, but also the taste is fantastic.
Instead of using white sugar, it contains coconut sugar and cocoa solid 44%,
Amazingly No emulsifies,too.

Thumbs up! Made in Switzerland , no wonder.

Spring swell at Bronte




At High tide there were waves in good shape breaking right outside near the rock,
Boys were charging so well.

Fast waves and a series of bomb sets was like 5 ft....

It was a hard and challenging session.

 The curry  shop we were to meet was closed , so with a bit of mess finally we reached NallaManam  near Kitahama station.  It is a tiny shop but the curry was so good, the taste brought me to India and Sri Lanka..
For a desert , hanging around there we took a seat in Northshore where is famous for a California style pancake.

The Best Yurine (lily bulb)Mont Blanc cake in Sapporo at Casserole

I tried many Yurine Mont Blnc Cake in Sapporo, but this one is exceptional.
It is small but you never get dissapointed. 
Top part is Yurine cream which is smoothes , not heavy cream taste and mild texture.
As you scoop by a fork,  maccha(green tea) cream appears.  And this maccha bitterness blend well
with Yurine cream.  Then! Anko (red bean paste) comes up.
You might think "oh this sounds quite heavy and sweet" , if you doubt what I say, try this out first!



Coffee tastes great!!  Yurine Mont Blanc is ¥420, with coffe $770
