Lombok surf trip memory May 2017

Soto Ayam, so good!!

Grupuk

Surfing in a same spot makes us sick.

A surf trip in a surf trip was , for sure something different.

We all have never been to Lombok, so with a bit of excitement we headed there.

Air Guling

Ekas inside

Ma Kao in Seminyak Bali

There are so many restaurants to choose, this time we saw a new Asian street restaurant opened in Seminyak, so why not to check it out!

Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai style food in a cozy atomosohere.
We enjoyed this clean and refreshed taste food and inexpensive!

Duck salad, calamari salad, duck wrapped in a rice paper

Vietnamese pandan pudding

Sri Lanka new year

Celebration of new year started at 5:41 14Apr.

With the countdown they must light the fire on old coconuts barks.! There is a pot full of coconut milk and make it to boil till the milk overflow and coming down to the tray.

The more it get boiled, the better the rest of your year is.

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.

Papaya tea

Abundance of Papaya tree in Sri Lanka. Making tea from leaves is my daily routine.

Benefit!?  A medicine for Dengue fever, malaria, balancing white cell counts thus enhance immune system, anti bacteria etc...

Taste is extremely bitter but drinking is bearable.

BOON CAFE in the morning

BOON CAFE, NORTHERN THAI FOOD restaurant serves

genuine thai food and one of the best,  yes it is my fav. thai

restaurant.

In the morning they serves chiken congee which I never tried

but I had flat white this morning and it didn't disappointed me

at all.

After one week long of big swells... Bronte surf 12 Mar

Finally the sun has out, blue sky and ridable waves,

one week of wild 6 ft surf has nearly gone...

Bronte Gully where the spirits live

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

New Year Lunch at Park Hyatt Hotel Sydney

 Three course lunch at Park Hyatt Hotel......I am not complaining that even it was for the part of my job.

It  is always nice to have a meal at a  luxury hotel.

Smart service made us so comfortable.

SEAFOOD MINESTRONE 

Adelaide river Barramundi

Citrus degustation--orange  kaffir lime  lemon sorbet ,yuzu lemon white choice mousse

Christmas Spirit *Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Waverley, Sydney

This Parish of St Charles Borromeo, Mary Immaculate Catholic Church

is a peaceful space to meditate, or even just sit down and looking 

the paintings of angels in the sky.

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.

Magpies in the sky

Last year there was one nest, but two now on the Jacaranda tree.

These birds and Carrawan attack the bathroom windows aiming for catching mosses.

Laura Blue mountains is in Flowers

Sakura----Cherry blossoms

Nice to be back into Bronte beach

Fun fun wave on Bronte reef, 2ft at set wave and the warm water was very comfortable.

Are you the one for me?

Indian curry NallaManam and Cafe Northshore in Osaka

 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.
