Just a really simple outfit I put together for a day out with my girl Kim. Exams were finally over and the end of financial year sales were just starting. So we decided to have a girls' day out and went all out on shopping. ( I shall do a separate haul post ). I finally had some alone time with this girl. Our lives had just been so crazy due to school and we never have time to hang out apart from recess and lunch breaks during school. BUT YEY SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME OUT WITH ME :D

We went to Zen Saki for lunch because Kim was craving ramen but we couldn't be bothered waiting at Nao. Zen Saki is affordable and delectable but stuff on the sushi train is extremely pricey. well, in my opinion at least. But food from the lunch menu is pretty oishii hahah.  I love love love the terriyaki chicken udon. For only $12.50, the portion is pretty decent. And the udon is cooked consistently to a chewy texture. Never fails me. However, I decided to go with the salmon don because I've had too much noodles the past week.  Again, the portion was decent.  I had 7 slices of raw salmon and alot, alot of rice. 

Ultimate ramen $15

Salmon Sashimi Don $15

Typika Artisan Roasters // Review

Again, another gorgeous weather for brunching today. It's the first time brunching I'm with Johnson as I go to school on weekdays and he works on the weekends. Since we both are on study break, we decided to head down to Claremont to try out the ever so popular brunch spot, Typika Artisan Roasters. 

Spiced Beef Benedict $20

My boyfriend went with the slow cooked spiced beef on toast served with two poached eggs and harissa hollandaise.  I had a bite of it and oh damn it was good. The beef was so soft and I love the combination of hollandaise and spices.

Beef Cheek Croquettes $23.50

I was really hungry and I wanted something that would fill me up. And let me tell you, this dish may look tiny,  but looks can be deceiving. This was so so so filling. I was full after eating half of it. And trust me, I have a very big appetite. This was pressed beef cheeks and shredded potato croquette, served with wilted spinach, a poached egg and herbed mustard hollandaise. I absolutely loved everything about this dish and I devoured all of it even though I was full half way through. The spinach complimented the beef and croquette and has a slight garlic taste to it. Again, the beef was really soft. The croquette was the best part of the dish I must say. Because it is made from shredded potatoes instead of mashed ones, it tasted like hash browns, but better. It is crips on the outside and soft inside. And the poached egg and hollandaise just ties everything together and oh I loved how everything just melts in my mouth. 

I would absolutely recommend you guys to try out Typika Artisan Roasters. The staff are so friendly and it wasn't a very long wait for the food. Though it was pretty crowded when we got there, and we had to wait for about ten minutes for a table. But it was all worth it when the food came.
