Ah, this has been a family favourite for some time now. It reminds me of my childhood and it’s kind of cool that it’s still around. Why oh why do such awesome things get discontinued? Things like bubblegum jelly cups; deli cups that came in (among others) tiramisu, trifle and chocolate mousse varieties; and that Norco ice cream that came with two sticks (both chocolate and bubblegum flavours!). I think the idea behind that was so that you could share it with a mate but it was so good I always just kept it to myself. I could list dozens of things they should bring back, but properly! I was sorely disappointed with the highly anticipated come back of the Monaco Bar. It just isn’t the same, damn it! This also applies to, of course, nail polish. All those wonderful discontinued colours that end up on evilbay for ridiculous prices but I won’t go into that because this isn’t a polish post! It’s all about the Creme Caramel, baby. Check it.
Classy, huh? I just need to add a fancily sliced strawberry and this could pass off as a $6 dessert!
Remove foil lid and invert on a serving dish? Okay!
ooooooh! Only a lid peel and tip upside down away from smooooth exquisiteness!
Divine Classic Creme Caramel. In the dairy cabinet of your local supermarket!
It was a scorcher last week which didn’t really do any favours for the appetite… so my mum threw together this salad. Nice and refreshing, it went down pretty easily.
Goi Sua Ga (Jellyfish and Chicken Salad)
Grated lettuce, onion, jelly fish and shredded chicken topped with roasted peanuts with light and tangy dressing and fish sauce.
Check out these cool little Lip Smackers I came across in Woolies the other night! You have your Coke, Fanta and Sprite flavours in a cute little Coke can. It’d be an awesome gift for Christmas but I’m not sure if anyone even uses Lip Smackers anymore. I had a glittery strawberry one when I was a kid but lost it before I could finish it. Boo.
15.11.09 – Glebe Street Fair and Passionflower
It was about time for lunch (a late one, anyway) when we were done with Fashion Weekend, so Nghi and I met up with the boys to have us some Ribs n’ Rumps (GAH! Sunday surcharge, we forgot about this! I am never dining out on a Sunday again! $5 could have paid for a scoop of Bubblegum ice cream at Cold Rock!). No pictures, here, but I do have some of dessert and one of the Glebe Street Fair that was on that day. I totally forgot about it which was a real shame because they were packing up about ten minutes after we had arrived 
We bumped into a few blasts from the past which was really nice. It’s amazing how people change in appearance over the years! Yes, I am talking about you, Bird Boy! :> (also, hurro Joli and Grasso!)
Anyway, on with ze pics!
Glebe Point Road. The stalls stretched allllll the way up the street. You can’t really see it in this size picture so click here for an enlargement! We saw the road closure on the way to get ice cream. NOOOOO! I can’t believe I forgot about it, boo!
Pancakes and Durian ice cream @ Passionflower. Yes, those are peanuts on the ice cream that Nghi so tastefully placed there. Boobies!!
Black Pearl: Black sesame ice cream, glutinous rice balls rolled in black sesame, topped with roasted peanuts. NOM.
Crepes with Lychee and Green Tea ice cream.
It’s so bloody hot here at the moment. These pics make me hang for ice cream, but funnily enough, it’s the Bubblegum ice cream from Cold Rock that I want. Mmmm, artificial colouring!
03.11.09 – We got Fajitas this time!
So, as determined after our first visit to Flying Fajita Sistas, a second round was made to try the signature dish. I know we said we would go back on a non-Tuesday so that we wouldn’t succumb to pigging out on just the $3 tacos but they’re just too good and we couldn’t pass up another opportunity to eat them. So we made a compromise and agreed to order the Sistas Double Fajitas to share between the four of us and our own tacos on the side to supplement.
Upon letting the staff know which booking we were under, we were informed that we were lucky enough to get one of the “lovely balcony” tables upstairs. We were excited until we realised what this actually meant – an outdoor seating. I’m sure it would have been lovely… if it wasn’t ridiculously hot that day! It was 6pm and the temperature was probably still up around 30 degrees Celsius. Oh, how we longed to be downstairs with easy access to the wall of pain!… Or just indoors in the air conditioning. Oh well! On with the photos of the meal we sweated our way through.
STEP 1 – Start with a soft, fresh tortilla
STEP 2 – Add ze meat!
Sirloin marinated in chipotle and achiote, chargrilled and cut into tender strips
Grilled King Prawns in a mild Guajillo and Ancho Chilli rub
STEP 3 – Go crazy with the other fillings
Clockwise from top left; Pineapple, jalapenos, Salad, cheese, guacamole, crema, salsa
L-R on the bottom: Mexican Rice and frijoles
And now we can say we’ve actually had the fajitas at Flying Fajita Sistas. I liked the prawns, they were good but I probably wouldn’t order the sirloin again because I could just go a shredded beef (Ropa vieja) taco instead, mmm. My parents always tease me and call me a grandma with no teeth 
More often than not, you will find that I enjoy food that requires less chewing (like soup and risotto). I’m pretty fussy and only like steak if it is cooked at a proper medium-rare and ribs within the first 5 minutes they’re served (it’s the window before they cool down and go tough!).
