JIPPPPP!!:)
Hey Guys Vince here!:)
Today Alicia,Joseph and I all decided to pop down to Eastwood to eat some Korean food!
After walking through the shops on the korean-side, we decided to eat at Jonga Jip( the one near the bottle-shop).
Joseph and Alicia both ordered Bibimbap, whereas I order Al Tang (Fish roe soup).
The Bibimbap is served in a hot stone bowl that cooks the rice, veggies and meat, which allows you to see this process happen before your eyes.
Al tang is simply a broth of Fish roe in a chilli soup with an assortment of garnishes and veggies.
Alongside your orders, you are showered with an array of complementary side dishes which is very nice when you are waiting on your order.
It is also refillable free of charge...which is always a good thing if you still feel a bit peckish.

GOLDEN TOWER!
Hey everyone! Vince here!
And today im going to be telling you where to grab some cheap yet tasty grub if you ever find yourself shopping at Market City ( City near Chinatown).
On the top level of the Market City shopping center, there is a large food court full of many Asian stores. The one that is our main focus today...is the GOLDEN TOWER!!
The dish most served is called "3-choices."
It costs around 8dollars to get this meal deal and with it, you have a choice of either rice or noodles as a base. Then you are able to choose 3 different toppings of your choice! You will also get a bowl of corn-soup as a side, free of charge.
In this picture, I choose the Salt and Pepper Barramundi, Honey chicken and Mongolian Beef!
I rate this meal...3/5 from the price you pay you cant really complain? It does the job of filling you up and preparing you for another hour of shopping at Market City.
As always, thanks for following our posts guys!!

You won't get thai'd of this!
Hey guys! It's Joseph again and we've got an awesome update for you guys! We're really excited about this post so lets just jump straight into it! We went to a FANTASTIC Laotian restaurant called 'Holy Basil' located at 233A Canley Vale Road, Canley Heights.
Now something that would be really great to do would be to book your table before coming down here to eat because this place is so good that people line up. So the 3 of us had to wait a while to get in but... It was so worth it. Every single second.
We went inside and it was had nice bright atmosphere. The kitchen can be seen so its quite a treat to see how the food is made! Now lets get right into it before I get hungry from looking at these pictures (drooling already!).
I decided to get the pad thai and bbq chicken! The pad thai was definitely above average and of great quality. I really enjoyed it! The noodles didn't taste cheap; You could actually taste the flavours within the noodles and it was soft and easy to eat. It comes with whatever meat of your preference (e.g. beef or chicken. I got chicken). The pad thai had wonderful flavour! It had a real chilly punch to it as well (custom; can make it chilly or not) which I loved.
The bbq chicken was delicious as well! It had a really beautiful charcoal flavour that allows you to undergo the bbq experience Laos has to offer. The bbq chicken went really well with the sauce.
Vincent decided to eat the red curry roasted chicken. This was a great choice! The duck melted in your mouth and the curry burst with great flavour!
Alicia decided to eat the salt and pepper calamari. This along with the other food we order tasted great! It had great flavour mixed with the herbs and chill sauce they provide.
Last but least, we ordered their famous fried ice cream! Wonderful choice. Crispy on the outside and once you dig your spoon in it and put it in your mouth, the flavours melt all over your mouth. It had nuts on it too which blended well. Beautiful dessert from this restaurant.
We really did enjoy ourselves here and the food was fantastic! We rate this place a strong 4/5!

A pig's breath
Hey guys Vince here!
Whilst we were on our way to pick up my recent win from eBay at Kellyville... we past a particularly different sort of cafe in Castle hill (Towers)...Hog's Breath Cafe!!!
At Hog's Breath, Joseph and I tried the "TOWER FOR TWO!"
It consisted of an assortment of meats (2 rump steaks, 4 lamb chops and 2 racks of ribs), curly fries and salad!
This is a photo of the tower that was given to us!!!
Doesn't it just make your mouth water??
And this is a close-up on the assorted meats!!! Surprisingly this meal wasn't enough for Joseph and I to devour...we wanted moreee!!!!
To be truly honest, the flavor of the meats and the way in which it was cooked...was pretty average...not to mention that it was very expensive reaching to about $65+ for this meal...
As seen in our previous post...i think the pine inn at burwood is a much pretty place than Hog's Breath..!
And so Joseph and I both agreed on a score of 2/5!
Pretty disappointed!
Also here is a shot of a salt and pepper shaker fashioned out of a Corona bottle!
Pretty cool if you ask me!
Once again...thanks for viewing our posts!

Laduree we went!
Alicia here!
Finally we decided to line up for half an hour and experience what so many around the world rave about. Some delicious macaroons. There is an area for people to sit down to enjoy a coffee or a tea and really make a moment of it. However waiting for the tables to turnover is almost forever, and we opted to simple line up to buy them to take away.
We bought: pistachio, chocolate, caramel and strawberry. And look how gorgeous the packaging is!

The shell was a little chewy and the filling is incredibly rich and smooth. I found that I wouldn't be able to have all four of these for myself, but having one is so delicious. It's definitely a luxury item for food!
Joseph's Review
3/5 - "The wait did deduct the rating for me. I don't usually like rich food items, but this I did appreicate because it was too sweet and heavy!"
Vincent's Review
4/5- "I loved it, and I prefer it just a bit over Zumbo's macaroons. It has a more balanced taste, and it delicious. However for the wait, I would rather go to Zumbo."
Alicia's Review
4/5- I love macaroons and these are one of the best I have come by in Sydney! However I still love the ones in Paris, but these are great supplements. I would line up to sit down and enjoy them.
I think if you have the time, you should line up and enjoy these delights. But you have to be patient and hopefully you would find it worth it.
Have a look at the first post of Laduree if you haven't already to see what it's like in Paris and the culture of it.
ImPORKtant!
Hey guys! It's Joseph. The three of us decided to check out this Korean restaurant at Strathfield, which is a place known to host a lot of Korean restaurants and outlets. This restaurant is called 'Alrose Garden' at 7-9 Churchill Avenue Strathfield.
The interior of the place is nice, a cosy and chilled out area. It had music playing so the atmosphere was good. Now this place is known for their famous pork schnitzel! We had to try it out.
The rumours can be put to rest because they are true. This pork schnitzel was huge~! It was really good! Crispy on the outside and when you put it in your mouth, it literally melts. This item is a must if you go. A beautiful gravy like sauce was provided as well and was so delicious to eat with the pork schnitzel!Salads were also provided which was a nice fresh addition to the meal. Refreshes you up. There was a small proportion of rice provided as well. One thing that we thought would make the restaurant better would be more side dishes! Usually Korean restaurants provide great side dishes! This restaurant lacked that appeal.
We also had the fried chicken and it was nice but we didn't get kicks out of it. However there were other items on the menu that we would of really liked to try and we are convinced of going again to try them out! If anything, try out the pork schnitzel. It was really good.
Overall we had an enjoyable experience and rate this restaurant a 3/5!
