The Merrywell (Downstairs)

Last Wednesday my friends and I went to Crown Casino for lunch. We originally intended to drop by Margo's however the 20 minutes wait was too long for us to handle so we visited The Merrywell instead.

N2 Extreme Gelato

When my friends first told me about nitrogen ice-creame my first reaction was "What? Nitrogen ice cream? How does that work?" and since nitrogen ice cream was on our 'to try' list. When I first heard of nitrogen ice cream, I thought it was something along the line of a scoop of ice cream dipped in liquid nitrogen. Boy was I wrong.

3 Months Later ... I'm Still Alive

WOW!! I can't believe how long it has been since the last time I posted something. (And there goes my promise down the drain)

Now, what have I been up to for the last 3 months? Study. I have been busy studying for the past 3 months. The work load was more than last semester and I realised I have few more assignments than last semester as well. Do I have good reason as to why I disappear for the past 3 months? No I don't. I could've managed about 4 posts if I wanted to but to be honest I simply don't have the motivation to do it.

Right now I have officially finished Uni for the year and I have 3 months worth of blog posts to write. During the semester Tina, Ashley and I (my food buddies as I prefer to call them) venture out into the world to be consumed by digital media and advertising? ... Okay?!... getting back to the point, we meet up once a week for lunch and every week we give a new place a try. It was a wonderful experience and it is something that I hope to continue. I have photos for every single place we went to for the past 12 or so weeks and I will slowly post them one by one.

My first review in 3 months will be up tomorrow so look forward to that. Before I go I'll leave you with this picture as a teaser.

What do you think this might be?

How To: Chocolate Raspberry Swiss Roll

I just can't ignore Marady Mol's comment on my Welcome to Blogs & Thoughts post. My cake baking still is yet to be perfected but I'm quite decent at making swiss roll. In this post I will show you how to make chocolate raspberry swiss roll. The recipe is really simple and easy to follow. I hope you can try this out at home and if you do, let me know how it goes and your thoughts on it. Marady this post is dedicated to you.

How About Some Animations?

I've seen countless animation over my 12 weeks course. Some of which were entertaining while some were okay. Of all the animation I've seen, few really stood out for me and I feel that they're worth sharing.

Trunk Diner

First of all I would like to wish Stephy a late happy birthday. I hope that all your dreams come true and continue to be the fabulous friend you are. May you receive only the best things in life.

Stephy wanted to give Diner a try and it's only right to follow the birthday girl. This was the first time for all of us at Diner. (This post will be picture heavy)

Sorry I Lied

I know, I know that I said I would post once per week and I lied. I sincerely apologise for lying and to have disappeared for the past 2-3 weeks. My schedule was busier than I expect it to be. It didn't leave me any room to write a post. But I've submitted all my assignments now and I'm free from Uni work for the next few weeks.

I have a number of posts lined up for you guys. For the past 2 months, most of my post so far are restaurants review. The next few posts are slightly different. One of which is a respond to Marady Mol's comment on one of my post. Since Marady's comment is the first ever comment on my blog, I feel oblige to respond.

The next post will be uploaded tomorrow morning and it will be another restaurant review. I started this post a couple of weeks a go but couldn't finish it because of my busy schedule. Since I'm back now, it's only right to finish the post and cross it off my list. Till then I hope you have a great day.

Jimbo & Rex

Firstly I would like to apologise for my absent over the past week. I am currently really busy with my Uni work since we're coming towards the end of the semester and for the next 2-3 weeks I will not be uploading as regularly as I have been in the past. I will however maintain my promise of one post per week.

Back to business. Last Thursday Tina and I went to Jimbo & Rex in Crown Casino Complex to try the Footy Meal Deal menu.

Straits of Malacca AGAIN?

I know I've recently upload a post on Straits of Malacca but since I tried out new dishes I feel I should review those dishes. I mentioned in my last post, the restaurant is divided into two sides. This time round I sat on the other side with my two wonderful friends Tina and Stephy.

Welcome to Blogs & Thoughts

Hi there my fellow readers, my name is Angela and welcome to my blog.

Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. As stated above my name is Angela, I'm female and I live in Melbourne Australia. I have a passion for design particularly in graphic and fashion. I absolutely love my Asian dramas and Japanese animation. For those of you who aren't familiar or have never watched any Japanese anime before then let me tell you this, you're missing out big time. I'm a food lover and I take great pleasure in trying new dishes I have never had before. I enjoy baking, cakes and macaroons in particular, however I do prefer eating over cooking.
