Korean noodles

Today's Korean food is noodles! 
Many Asian countries have noodles, but Korean style noodle have difference taste as others. There are two types of noodles which are noodles with soup and fried noodles.
In my opinion Korean enjoy noodles a lot with soup than without. Also we enjoy noodle cold and hot either way.
In Korea noodle is a cheap food so everyone could have it especially during economic crisis or during Korean war. 

This noodle is the typical black bean noodle. 
the price is around 2-8 dollars depends on the quality.




This is the cold soup noodle that Korean usually enjoy with Korean BBQ or in Summer 


Meet Fresh - Taiwanese Dessert Restaurant Review

Meet Fresh


Today, I will talk about one of my favorite dessert restaurant - Meet Fresh, the Taiwanese Dessert Restaurant. Meet Fresh now has a variety of branches in different suburbs of Sydney such as Burwood, Campsie, Eastwood and Cabramatta. 




The interior of the restaurant has that asian decoration as well as atmosphere which make you feel warm and relaxing as the same time. 
Therefore, once you sat down comfy there with a group of friends, you will just go on chit chat and you won't even notice how fast times fly. 









  



The restaurant has a variety of dessert dishes from taro ball, herb jelly, crushed ice to traditional tea, purple rice porridge, whipped cream tea, etc. However, the one that stand out the most and my personal favorite is the " Duo Deluxe Pudding". It's a mixture of ice cream, pudding and jelly, which create a really sweet taste for those love sweet stuff like me.



Overall, it's a really good dessert restaurant to go to with your friends on the weekend.

I rate it 10 out of 10 for my personal enjoyment.

Zongzi - Traditional Chinese rice-pudding

Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice, stuffed with different fillings, and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, before being steamed or boiled. These sticky rice dumplings are the most popular food of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi differ in shape and taste from one place to another across China. There are mainly two tastes to Zongzi: sweet and savoury. Nowadays people even make Zongzi with mixed sweet and savoury fillings. Such a variety of tastes makes the Zongzi family a splendid legacy.



Le Pub




Last Christmas, me and my friends went to this awesome restaurant. This is my first time trying this restaurant in the city. It is a French cuisine and we loved it :)  



Escargots

 This is my first time trying escargots. I think that the taste of the escargot is really unique. The snail is baked with butter, garlic and some herbs. The texture of the snail is a bit chewy and it taste really good with the butter garlic sauce. I will probably try it again next time.






Roasted Duck 

This is the one of the famous dish in this restaurant, Roasted Duck. This dish is serve with some smash potato and roasted duck on top. The roasted duck taste really good because they roast it with some special spice. The sauce of the roasted duck is the juice of cooked fresh berry. It taste sweet and has a bit of sourness in it. If you ever go to this restaurant, I recommend you to try this dish.







Creamy Chicken

This dish is serve with roasted chicken and creamy mushroom sauce. The skin of the chicken is really crispy and the chopped bacon adds up a bit of saltyness to it. There are also some boiled potato and spinach under the chicken. Overall, I give this dish a 8 out of 10.
