Pavlova
A signature Kiwi dessert. Eva was so nice to buy us this expensive piece from a fancy restaurant after her dinner.Lie Wei, Lie Yee, Jie Min and I travel to Auckland because we were invited by my cousin, Eva. Her Taiwanese homestay student's birthday was Saturday and she was throwing him a birthday party at her place. Since Lie Wei's birthday was also around that time, she decide it was going to be a joint birthday celebration.
At the same time, we have been obsessed about going to the flea market in Avondale because of the super cheap fruits and veggies (NZ$1 for 8 apples!) there and we were so Asian that we needed to go to an Asian supermarket badly to buy Asian ingredients to cook and Whangarei is too ulu to have one.
Eva cooked up a storm, "tau yew bak", curry prawns, two types of stir fried vege. She invited her two friends, Aunty Chen who made sesame oil and rice wine chicken (the sauce was so tasty and yummy!) and Aunty Yoon who made Korean kimchi soup and delicious pancake!
Later Eva baked a cake for both Henry (chocolate butter cake) and Lie Wei (vanilla butter cake). Then we ate some smooth, silky Taiwanese "tou-fu-fah" and Taiwanese sweet barley topping to go with it.
Wendy's value meal
A deluxe cheeseburger, small fries, small drink and a frosty for a steal at NZ$5! It was a change from the usual Malaysia brown sugar topping.
The next day we went to the Flea Market at Avondale and bought a ton of fresh fruits and veges including some "ham-chim-peng" and "yau-cha-kwai". The "ham-chim-peng" here are incredibly yummy! When we returned home, Eva had baked us apple tarts!
It was a foodilicious trip to Auckland!
P.S: I am currently very obsessed with NZ's signature soda called Lemon & Paeroa which is a lemon soda. It's absolutely tasty!
