custard,congee and mushy fajitas


fajita mush, congee with loads of herbs & chillie sauce...ahh and custards

Rather than give you a spiel about myself and this being my first posting ever - HOORAY! - I'll get straight to it. Last week, I found myself absent from my workplace, due to unfortunate circumstances of being ill. I had a few days to kick around (sorry, I meant rest and recover) and I managed to take some pictures of one of my favourite things ever, FOOD. I love, food and I believe food loves me. There's a mutual agreement there, with which I am content and never wish to part. However, the only disappointment I frowned upon, was the missed chance to actually taste the food that I photographed. Don't get me wrong, I ate the food, but couldn't taste a thing, due to my darned throat infection - I'd lost all sense of taste :'( very sad. Every mouthful was complemented with curses...that I won't repeat here. Anyhoo, pictures posted are egg custard tarts mmm...congee (for those non-Asians, it's like an Asian risotto, traditional planked with innards of pork or chicken; I usually stick to chicken) and homemade chicken fajitas, that I proudly made myself. Enjoy, because I obviously didn't! *screwing up nose*

Hey Kimmy,

I like this spot. I like food, too. Hmmm, makes me all warm and fuzzy. I'd like to know how you made the congee. Sounds terrific. Now, because I have such a food passion, I love to eat out, and because you're in Melbourne too, I'm sure you'd agree that we have some great food places in this fair city. So, I'd like to know what your favourite restaurants in this southern corner of the land are.
I've just recently re-discovered Soul Mama at St Kilda - a great hang-out that I hadn't visited in years since last weekend. It might be all vego and everything, but you can't beat the atmosphere, really. My other fave spot's a little closer to home, and tiny in a blink and you'll miss it kinda way. It's a throw back to uni days, but let's face it, when you find that kind of grub, you just have to stick with it -- good and simple, old "Cha's Cabin" in good and really simple old Hallam.
Okay, that should help get your posts off the ground. Til next time, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your food, and your photography.

Ciao

may i just indicate...i don't mean to gross you out or offend your delightful images of your foods... but i find this hilarious, but in the image of the fajitas, the green mushy thing on top (guessing its avocado) kind of looks like an ant!! can you see the antennas? LOL
