Melbourne.. I'm back again
Pete paid me a visit last October. Back in Melbourne after two years! Yes, it's been that long ago. Here's photos from his trip.

Priscilla
J bought me tickets to Priscilla Queen of the Desert (Musical) for our 2nd anniversary. It was a blast.. the music was good, the characters were excellent and very convincing, given that we werent allowed to take pics in the theatre.. here are pics some courtesy of http://www.priscillathemusical.com/
Had a frozen daiquiri that came in their signature cocktail glass which lights up! How femme..
(daiquiri's not shown here.. its ribena instead)
CNY in Melbourne
My first CNY away from home was expectedly uneventful. The highlight of the celebration was yum cha with friends in Chinatown culminating to lion&dragon chasing session around the strip for the rest of the morning. There were lots of pau but no ian hua and puak kiau..:p
Longest Dragon.. butt shots
Here's a video of the longest dragon dance I have ever seen. It was as long as a city block.. John and I were chasing the dragon around Chinatown but could only capture the tail-end.
Homecook in Melbourne
Was at Springvale two weeks ago so stock up on my greens and misc. Asian delicacies. Found very nice and fresh kangkung and bought pek-chio...
Made kangkung belacan..
and steamed the fish with shitake mushroom, plum and ginger..
I could never tell if a fish is cooked in a steamer until I discovered a trick of the trade... the fish is cooked when the eye balls pop out!
Babi bakar
On Australia Day, and I was told that the official roast of the day is lamb but i decided to go the other way and made roast pork for our guests instead.
Curry puff
This is one of my favorite recipes.. easy to make, store in the freezer (it can keep up to 3 months) and bake when in need of a familiar taste in a foreign land..
