Hello, Brisbane!

The entrees.

 Late night snack from Sakuraya, Sunnybank, Brisbane, Australia:

Taro milk tea w/crushed taro pieces (drank half)
(Ordered without sugar, but it was still sweet. That's taro for you... other than that, it was good! The portion was huge. Seriously hard to grip. You can't fit it in any cup holder either! One of those drinks that you have to hold or sit down. Can't do anything else.)

Sip of Trang's special beauty tea
(I'm still highly amused by the name. It was basically a lemon honey tea of sorts.)

Happy birthday Katharine!

24 September 2013

Breakfast:

Mung beans (about a 1/3 of this)
(No matter how early I wake up to workout, I always end up running late. It's a problem.)

Lunch:

Black tea w/almond milk, mung bean mug "muffin"
(On a time crunch so didn't have time to make pancakes. I just microwaved the batter. Insta-muffin! Or bread, since there's no sugar in here. But there are healthy muffins...aren't there?)

Dinner from Zambrero in Union House at Uni Melb, Parkville, Melbourne, Australia:

Beans & rice burrito w/corn salsa, tomato salsa, jalapeno, lettuce, salsa verde & red chili sauce
(Still has a strange taste, but so filling and I love jalapenos. Literally took me four hours to finish this. I ended up eating the inside with a fork and the tortilla by itself because the chewiness was weirding me out too much.)

23 September 2013

Breakfast:

Mung bean dessert
(One of my favourite Asian desserts, except normally there's vanilla extract and other flavours. This one was literally just mung beans, the whole it was cooked in and cinnamon. It was very refreshing after my run though.)

Snack:

Quinoa w/black beans, mung beans & pepper

Snack:

Mung bean baby pancakes
(Still on my pancake phase! I think I'm getting off slowly. Pancakes are such a good nibbling homework snack though.)

Snack:

Forkful of mung beans

Snack:

Almond milk w/cinnamon, cayenne pepper, bit of black sesame powder & a spoonful of raw oatmeal
(Man, I really wish I had a juicer or blender here. I miss my smoothies and juices.)

Snack:

Black sesame mug "cake"

22 September 2013

Massive stack of mung bean & black seasame pancakes

Spiced "baked" pear w/almond milk, oatmeal "crumble" & black seasame powder

Peas, corn, quinoa w/black beans
