Amanda's Farewell Cake

This cake is for my workmate Amanda's farewell few weeks ago. 
 My workmates asked me to make this cake to surprise her!
 She likes pink, sparkles and her lil dog Lilly!

This is probably the girliest cake I have done haha and I'm totally loving it! 
I love pink~ I quite like sparkles and I definitely LOVE DOGS!!! haha


This is Lilly~! Hello!


hehe.. I won't explain much on this little fella.. As long as Amanda knows it. :P

Oh Pink~! Can't get enough of it haha

Dinner @ Kuza, Victoria Park


Found this place by accident when I was heading to Taro Taro for dinner. Fortunately Taro Taro was closed that day, so i get to try out Kuza!! Yay!

Looks funky don't you think? :)


I was happy to see a funky and cool Japanese restaurant pop up on Albany Highway! Finally!
 I always think that Vic park needs a good Japanese restaurant instead of those cheap and fast ones.  Me no fancy :P

I like the deco, I like the mood lightings, I like the graffiti on the wall~


Pretty tea cups!


There were 3 of us that night, so I can try quite a few dishes!


Crispy Mock Chicken Tofu Salad
Like it. Salad is fresh, clean flavours and mock meat were good too. It's not oily :)


Chicken Karaage
Karaage Karaage... I have been really picky when it comes to Karaage.. 
I have tried so many karaage and nothing beats Halu's Chicken Karaage. It is the best! 
Don't get me wrong, Kuza's Karaage is good too..  I just can't get over Halu's Karaage. haha


Tofu Steak with assorted mushrooms & vegetables
Oh this is my favourite!!!! Saucy...~!!! This is kinda sweet and salty in taste. I like the soft tofu go along with the crunchy golden mushrooms and vegies.. oh the best.


Dynamite Roll- Soft Shell Crab, Lettuce, Spicy Mayo, Tobiko



Aburi Sushi
Nicely presented. Quite a nice one.. 
But.. I prefer the one from Sake Bar in Northbridge. The difference is Sake Bar's Aburi Sushi has this nicely charred flavour to it and because of that, it tasted really really good.


Grilled Black Cod $28
Hohohoh.. Black Cod!! If I compare Kuza's $28 and Nobu's $45 Black Cod, I will choose Kuza. 
Fish is as soft, although it is not as juicy but they cooked it really well.
I don't think I will pay $45 piece of small fish again ahhaha tried it once and that's it! So Kuza wins.

For dessert, we had..


 Green tea mousse with azuki beans


Kuza's Tiramisu


Creme Brulee with raspberry sorbet.

When I was outside, I saw these 2 poster!
Pork buns and ramen for lunch!!!


 So I went back to have the Pork buns.. hahaha couldn't resist!!!!


Pork Bun with Crispy lotus root chips
Unfortunately, it was not up to my standard... taste good, but I was hoping the meat would fall off easily. It didn't. Lotus root chips was good though. :P

Lunch @ Taro Taro, Victoria Park


I went to Taro Taro months ago and have totally forgotten to blog about it! :P
Taro Taro is probably the only asian dessert place in Perth at the moment. They are from Taiwan.

I was really excited to see their opening and were eager to try their dessert! Their dessert is basically shaved ice and top with whatever toppings you like! They have plenty of choices but the one that I like and probably is the popular ones are grass jelly, taro balls, sago! Cooling dessert!




 I have tried the Tao Fu Fah + grass jelly and sweet potato balls one. It was quite alright. hahaha
Nothing to brag about.


and I had the Taro Taro's Special as well. 
Which is Shaved ice, taro balls, sweet potato balls, sago and grass jelly.

 

Honestly, it is quite a big tub of dessert! So, small eater, please share!
I prefer this one haha 

Taro taro not only serves dessert, they have some normal meals too!
They have the famous XL size fried chicken, mince meat+braise egg+preserve vegies Rice, and Oyster noodles. 

That day that I went, I was looking forward to try their Oyster noodles! Unfortunately, they were out of stock... So I'm stuck with fried chicken+preserve vegies and rice.


It was not expensive and there was a lot of rice! I like the preserve vegies, they are very tasty and I was hoping for more! 

This is the Mince meat, egg and preserve vegies Rice. 



 Oh, and they have the Taiwan famous pineapple cake too!



Overall, it was a okay okay for food but I'm happy that Perth finally have a Asian dessert shop! More place for me to hang out hehe

Go try it one day!
