I had the greatest philosophical life talk with a professor today. Best wishes to his new position!

Also, it's Friday Fun Day! And Coffee Ice Cream Day! And National Read-a-Book Day!

Sadly I didn't finish a book. Or eat coffee ice cream. But whatever. 

Breakfast:

Overnight chilled oats w/mung bean, almond milk & cinnamon
(I love mung beans, la di da.)

Snack:

Double coat Tim Tam slam
(My last double coat Tim Tam!)

Dark chocolate Tim Tam slam
(Dark chocolate is still my favourite.)

 Lunch at Yami Yami, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne, Australia:

Takoyaki
(Not as good as the ones I ate with Daniel in NYC. These were 90% dough while the ones in NYC were more 50% dough. At least the dough was pretty good.)

Terriyaki chicken (ate half)
(There were a lot of onions and I really don't like onions. So I was already hard-core judging this. Ugh. At least the terriyaki sauce covered up most of the taste. Big portion though nothing spectacular. It's like your typical Asian stir-fry dish.)

Sample from Bread Kingdom, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne, Australia:

Banana bread sample
(Too dry, but lots of banana flavour!)

Snack from Tokui Sushi, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne, Australia:

Salmon roll (ate a bite)
(Yay no mayo! The rice wasn't really proper "sushi rice", but I enjoyed the filling to rice ratio. Lots of salmon and avocado compared to the rice, so I totally didn't mind the flavourless rice.)

Snack from Hanaichi, Melbourne CBD, Melbourne, Australia:

Chicken katsu curry (ate about a quarter)
(Crispy chicken, lighter curry sauce but still very salty. Huge portion. Definitely a quick, cheap and easy meal. Another one of those typical Asian "fast-food" dishes.)

Snack:

Golden Gaytime ice cream bar
(Apparently this is a thing in Australia, so I had to try it. I liked the chocolate biscuit covering, but I'm not sure how I feel about the toffee and vanilla ice cream mix. Their flavours weren't particularly prominent; it tasted like I was eating sugary cream with an essence of vanilla and toffee. Very creamy though. And it's so sweet that eating half a bar will satiate an ice cream craving.)

The box.
(Source of a lot of controversy due to the possible homosexual connotations, but it's still an iconic ice cream bar here.)

 Snack: (bought from Bread Kingdom at Melbourne CBD):

Green tea, slice of orange chiffon cake
(It's somewhat of a cross between a chiffon cake and Asian spongecake, but I don't mind because I love both kinds! While the orange flavour wasn't particularly prominent, the cake's texture was moist, soft and fluffy. And I really enjoyed how it wasn't very sweet at all. Oh, Asian cakes.)

 Late night snack:

Greek yogurt w/a third of a golden gaytime ice cream
(I changed my mind. A third of a bar is definitely the right portion. Tasted great with some tart Greek yogurt!)
