Dinner @ Momiji, Belmont

Joe & I went to Momiji to have dinner. For some reason, we thought we got no time to cook so we had to go out for dinner. But I seriously can't remember why. Gosh, I totally forgot why I went to Momiji and it's just few days ago!! It's good food anyway :)

We had Squid Salad as our entree. This is actually newly added to the menu. Tasted good and it's not expensive.

I had the Curry Chicken Katsu Small.
I was shock to see I only got 3 slices of chicken pieces though. I should have ordered Large haha
But there were pieces of carrots and potatoes in the curry. So, it was alright and tasted good too.

Lucky Joe ordered his favourite Chicken Karaage to share. haha

He had Unagi Rice Small. For sure not enough for him hahaha

Opening Times:
Monday- Saturday
11-2.30pm & 5.30pm-8pm
Unit 6, 51 Belbidere St, Belmont

[Photog] Memories for my friend Rach

I visited my friend Rachael last Wednesday and decided to take some photos of her baby as a gift for her. Her baby was so tiny I don't even know how to start. I think babies are the most difficult model to work with because they kick, they cry, they move and can't sit still when you want them to just give a sweet smile and don't move. Haha

I manage to pick some decent photos and photoshop it a bit on the lighting. Didn't wanna do any touch up because I want it to be natural and original. The photos might not be fantastic, but I really enjoy taking photos of every single moment while I was there. I can feel how difficult it is to be a mother, how a mother has to be patient and calm while handling the baby. It's amazing.


Love the connections between the mother and son.



Love the look of the baby while changing nappy



Love their tiny lil feet!



Love how he can't sit still and had to lean on his mother



Love is everything.


Hope Rach will like this lil gift.

Dinner @ La Cascade, Nedlands

I had a pretty loooooong day today. Woke up early, did some phone calls to cancel some stuff and order a huge bin for house cleaning day. Went to skin doctor at around 10am. My skin is getting better (NO MORE PIMPLESSSSS!!!!!) Thanks to Lumina. Thanks to Kristy's recommendation, or else I won't have such great skin now! hehe. After that, went to Rach's house to have lunch and took some photographs for her baby boy. Babies are the cutest thing in the world!!! They don't complain, they don't do anything except kicking around the air, eat and sleep most of the time. Love the tiny lil feet and hands. Cute!
Then rush off to pick up Joe off work. Went to Subiaco to have a walk before going to my aunt's house to help her fix up her security lights outside her house that was destroyed by the hail.

My aunt, Eileen, Joe and I went to La Cascade in Nedlands to have a dinner. Just next to Chelsea Pizza. It is a French restaurant that was open since 30 years ago. It's really old and the food was really amazing.

Surprisingly no one ever tell us about this place at all until Alan brought Joe there one day and Joe finds it really nice and was impressed with the food preparation.

Interior was simple and it really looks like 30 years ago deco. Solid bricks. Old fashion leather chairs. Tiny glass lanterns. Antique ceiling lights.
We had the 3 course meal which cost us $65 per person. Make sure you go for this cuz it's worth it. Trust me. Remember to allow at least 3 hours eating time because they are a family operated restaurant.

Entree:
Top Left: Escargots - Vineyard snails baked in their shells with homemade herbs & butter
Top Right: Calamar - Deep fried squid served in a potato nest with 2 sauces
Bottom Left: Les Beaux - Sea Scallops with bechamel sauce chesse gratined
Bottom Right: Just a tree with lights! hehe

Mains
Top Left: Pork Fillet filled with fine shallots, Mushrooms and parsley
Top Right: Snapper fillet with thin sliced avocado and tomato
Bottom Left: Roasted rack of lamb brushed with mustard and herbs
Bottom right: Boneless duck with grand marnier sauce (allow waiting of 40minutes)

Dessert!!!!!!!!! SO PRETTY!!
Left to right: Parfait Grand Marnier (BEST!!!), Passionfruit Mousse with mango sauce, Chocolate Bavarian with orange sauce (Joe's Favourite!)

This restaurant really serves good quality and pretty looking food. We love every bite of our dishes. I was quite surprise with the food and I really love the Escargots, Lambs and Parfait. Those are my favourite of the night.

Next time I go, I will try the Tender Lamb Shank. It's HUGE and looks yum!!!
Go there with a couple of close friends, have a good chat, enjoy every bite of the food and be patient to wait for the beautiful food to come out from the kitchen. It's really worth the wait :)
