Cafe Greco - Crown Casino Melbourne

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

I've been craving for my Insalata Greco for a while… and I finally get to eat it yesterday!!! 

Warm Chicken Salad

The dressing tasted a little different this time but it was still nice salad. 

My hubby had lamb cuttlet for the first time and it was really nice too.

Lamb!

 If you want to go to Greco on the weekend, I suggest you make a booking first… Save your time on waiting… Make sure you try their deserts too… they have many nice desert!!!

 

Also take a look at the illumination for Christmas at the Crown. They change it every year for Christmas!!! and great place to take kids out too.

Lunch Box

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

My little cousin from Japan came over last month and our home is now livelier than ever.

She is 14 years old and almost my height 167cm.. I wonder how tall she will grow up to..

So, this young lady is the cause of this noise in the house… She is full of energy 24/7!!! Well, it's good fun having her around but she really makes me realise how old I feel sometimes… haha…

Anyway, my aunty had to go back to Japan for a while and she tag my mom along with her… so now, I'm in charge of the household for about 10 days. It's not new for me to do this but this time I have to make lunch for this young lady. 

Why I am so stress about it?? You will know if you see Japanese lunch boxes. It's packed with full course meal in a tiny little box. It's really cute… I remember when I was still in Japan, I always envy those lunch boxes.

I know she is not in Japan now but I thought I will try and do my best.

Oh yea, my husband's knee is getting better now so he is getting back to work too.. So, there is more reason to try as well. I know he thinks it's a little girly for him… but I hope he eat it all.

We also had some raw beef… I know some of you may think it's disgusting but… If you are meat eater and able to eat raw fish… You should try it!!! It's called YUKKE and you mix it up before you eat it. It's really tasty… just don't think it's rare beef….

My Little cousins had it for the first time and they liked it too!! I haven't been to Chu-ji for a while but this time I noticed they renovated and expanded a bar next door as well!! It looked really nice… We might try next time… when there is no underage with us… hehehehe…
