high waisted

ko, some inspirations?

is this wrong?

I grew up in hong kong and man, I love that band, soft hard.
they were like the funniest and most orginal comic duo in hk.
but I just cant help but notice they have been doing the helmet thing for a while since they reunited.

daft punk has been doing it for ages! they are a french music duo that does great electro music and put on great light shows in their concert. they have never really shown their faces in public, hence the robot look was made famous.

there's a fine line between copying or drawing inspiration from other sources.
and from the rate of things, the future is looking bad.

I dreamed of roasted goose

tell me if anyone can resist this?
this is roasted goose heaven!
in my opinion, better than yung kee, and half the price!

this place in tai po market is always full but don't worry you wont get your goose.
cos the roast it and bring them out by the trolley-full all through the dinner rush!

the night i was there, they happened to have a just out of the oven, still warm suckling big coming out! get it better than this?

i went there because my auntie loves the place and I saw it on anthony bourdain!
you are right again, mr bourdain!

best to go in a big group, so you can sample more! meat lovers' paradise!

exfoliate.

I been meaning to write abt this AMAZING exfoliator since forever!
and after 2 mths of use, i can honestly tell you this eve lom exfoliator is the best that you can get!

u spread it on like a mask and you wait for 15 mins for it to dry. the texture is very coarse. after that, you rub it off with yur finger tips in upward motion so the mask and all your deadskin will flake off! and it is immensely satisfying to see all these dead skin coming off! and the motion will help you stimulate the the blood flow in your face, hence brighter looking skin!!!

and you can slo use it as a eye de-puffer. you just dot a few little dots under your dark circle and since it has eucalptus in it, and you will rub if off afterwards, it will calm the skin and helps circulation around the eye area

instructions said that you should finish off by washing your face with eve lom muslin cloth, I am abt to get that, lets see how I go!

www.evelom.com or anyhwere in the UK.
28 pounds for 50ml tube (I do it once to twice a week and it has almost last 2 months)
48 pounds for 100ml jar

gone but definitely not forgotten

I think it is time to resurrect ko and my baby.

although our blog is no longer about sydney, but I still have a back log of sydney stuff I will have to write about!

this was my second last visit at fratelli fresh, it was one of my last weekend in sydney I got to spend with our lovely friend, kay!

it was a big lunch, we had the antipasto, it was so yummy, esp the egg with mayo!
u know after u took a bite of it you just smile, it's that good!

next for main, we had pork belly and fennel salad, the crackling on the pork belly is too die for, makes the best crackling sound, oh its like sweet music! the fennel salad has blood orange in it, I tried to replicate it, but it wasnt that good, cos I cant shave the fennel that thinly.

to finish off, I think the pink thing its called supazzo or something like that (kay can u pls check?) its like a berry sorbet with sparkling wine, kinda like a adult version of spider. and last but not least, the BESTEST banoffee pie ever! (Ko, u will have to show me ur best version soon, do share ur recipe!)

i think this will be my first stop when I go back to sydney for a visit!
It's not far from the airport.

Wedding thankyou gifts

As my blog partner now busy everyday wedding shopping (for her sis!) I thought this blog is helpful...

To be honest, I hate going to weddings of people I dont know cos all you do is sit there and eat and stuff yourself with disgusting chinese "wedding" food! I just think its so pointless... so in my opinion, even tho you are inviting ppl u dont know, it is always nice to keep those "unknown" entertained so that they wont go home and blab on how damn boring and what a waste of time the wedding is for us. The 3 musts to keep "unknown family guests" happy is:
1) Good videos to show in between the banquet
2) Good and must be funny speeches, speeches should be about the groom and bride and the speech is best when its about their personalities and memorable + easy to understand recap of incidents and not of past stupid behaviours or incidents which no one understands except a certain group of people.
3) Table gifts that can be taken home and USED. I know that since its your wedding gift and you would love to put your name on the gift so that everyone remembers the "memorable day". From my experience, any gift with a name on it usually ends up in the bin (if that happens, why bother?)! Picture frames, phone straps etc usually never fails, CHocolate which tastes good are a good idea but ones that doesnt taste good, then dont bother wasting the money.

I have been to many many man weddings these 2 years, so many that I cant even recall some of them and mostly to people which I hardly know. The rule of thumb to newly weds who want a really special wedding that everyone remembers is that just to keep all speeches and videos simple, easy to understand and funny at the same time, the more you do, the more no one understands and hence bore them outta their minds!

Hope this is useful D.

Just got some pics to show you my favourite wedding gifts which I have kept!

hamburgers that is not from maccas

Haevnt bloggged for so long that I almost forgotten the password of the login haha... thanks to kay for reminding us that our blog is nearly dead .. i decided i should save it and relive its glory!

why maccas so successful?
During school days, everyone of us has done the activity called "brainstorm", when I give the word "hamburgers" to you, what is the first thing that comes into your mind? McDonalds!! (whether you like maccas or not, it just comes to your mind) For me actually it will be Triple O's

everytime i go to Pacific Place, I will definatley go there for dinner and usually I will order the mushroom burger with extra cheese. The mushrooms,the beef patty and the cheese is really juicy! On top of that, the beef actually smells and tastes like real beef!

The other must order would be their milk shakes (more like thick shakes), it feels like drinking icecream!

Tips:
Dont order the fries because its not nice, another reason is because a normal female wont be able to finsih a burger and milkshake! Best to Go with a friend, order 2 singular burgers and 1 milkshake to share! If not, you will be wasting half of the food! The price aint cheap as well so dont over order.
