CNY 2012

It was a super hot day in Melbourne on the chinese new year eve. I felt like being sun baked. Done with packing and ready to start my 2 hours journey to my aunt's place in Mount Waverly. It was so much easier to pack in summer than in winter. I only had a bagpack and a small hand-carried bag. My laptop bagpack is sooo awesome. Kinda like 2 in 1. Hehe.

I took the train instead of the tram. My first stop was in the city. When I walked out of the train only I realised the cupcake shop that I wanted to go was just right in front of the exit. Lol. Perfect! Save some walking.


This is Degrave Street. So European and classy look. Next time must discover more of this kind of small lane where there are many nice desserts and snacks can be found.

Mini cupcakes. I bought half a dozen of red velvet cupcakes since the colour is nice for CNY and I wanted to try it anyway. XD

Now ready for the second half of the journey. Waiting for the train to depart from Flinders Station.

My first reunion dinner in Melbourne. I helped out with the yee sang preparation. It's just cutting the vegetables. Only the cucumber was a bit ugly and big. So hard to cut nicely. The aussie version of yee sang it's like salad, only different dressing. Anyway, better than nothing.

My first time having steamboat for reunion dinner and it's the best steamboat I've eaten. One sukiyaki and one tomyam soup, and the satay sauce was soooo nice! Also, I had my first roast duck in a year. Lol. I wanted to eat 'dong fun' too but too full already, maybe because I ate too much duck. @@"

So full.... Felt like I've just eaten a buffet. Anyway, GONG HEI FATT CHOI from Mebourne!! Haha.
