Adventure World

Yesterday, Treesha and I decided to go to adventure world to experience fright night. I finally have a reason to wear this pretty number I got from Victoria Secret in Dubai!

If you guys are planning to check it out, bring a pair of shoes because they don't let you go go-karting without enclosed shoes (I was unlucky the first time I went!)

We went to the kiddie area and rode on the spinning tea-cups ride. It was really funny because we both were too big for the teacups that we had to have separate ones.

Unfortunately,  the weather was horrible. It rained practically the entire 8 hours we were there and I barely felt the sun at all. It didn't stop us from riding everything, tough we froze to death.

We also had the chance to get our face painted after the sun began to set and the event was starting. I'm supposed to be a gothic looking person but my eyes are too pretty.

Members of staff were all dressed up and played their characters really well. I got to take a picture with one of them and man, I was scared to look her in the eye!

We queued up for almost two hours to ride the rollercoaster ride since the whole place was absolutely packed towards the night. We even missed the fireworks because we were still in the line haha, but its sooooo worth it. Oh, and definitely go for the kraken it's a new ride that opened recently.

Chinese garlic and oyster sauce bok choy

I went to Pachi Pachi the other day (Click here to read about it) and ordered some garlic asian vegetables, they got the wrong order and gave me vegetable with oyster sauce instead but it tasted really good that I couldn't care less. 

It was $10.50 a plate and I was able to recreate my own hybrid version of the two for under $5. If you're making this with a meal I suggest making the veges last since it only takes 10 minutes to do and tastes so much better hot. J

Ingredients

• 500g Bok choy, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon powder chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1. Boil some water and then add in the bok choy for about 2 minutes. Don't leave it too long or it becomes really limpy. When it is done, drain the vegetables.
   
   
   
   
   
2. While it boils, mix in a bowl the chicken stock, oyster sauce and soy sauce.
   
3. Heat up a pan with the vegetable oil and throw in the garlic until it has browned a little (I wanted to have this for dinner with rice so I tossed in about 50g of lean beef mince in as well).
   
4. Add the bok choy in and toss it around for a few second before adding in the sauce mixture. With the sauce mixture, stir it for about a minute and you're done!

Quick Abs exercises

Every Sunday morning, I like to wake up and go straight into some abs exercise. Usually if I wake up late and need to be somewhere quick I'd do a minute of jumping oblique twists. Otherwise, I'd spend a good 10-15 minutes on 'em.

Here are a few of my favourite ones:

I don't run when I do this workout since Sunday is my running rest day~

Pachi Pachi | East Victoria Park, Perth

Let me tell you, this is one of my FAVOURITE Asian cafe in perth. My lovely cell leader discovered this and in no time it became everyone's to go spot! I've been here over a gazillion time because of their lunch deals ($10 a meal!) but unfortunately they took it away and the dishes are slightly pricey for me to be going so often.

It says Asian, but the food menu is mostly Japanese cuisine. The place is quite popular but we usually get a seat. The staff that were here are amazing, they're so so so so nice and friendly and I have received high quality customer service every single time.

This was the first time I have been to Pachi Pachi after they took down their lunch specials and I was so upset that they don't do my favourite dish anymore! I can't exactly remember was it is called but it was like a beef version of oyakudon and was the bomb.

We started off with Fresh Asian Greens with oyster sauce ($10.50). The name was misleading, I thought I would get a variety of Asian vegetables but it turned out to be just bok choy. Oh, I initially ordered it with garlic sauce but I guess the waiter messed up since he didn't note any of our orders down while we selected. The vegies were really yummy, but would I pay that much again for greens? Probably not. I have recently made my own homemade version of this, check it out here.

THIS was the highlight of my day. I ordered a matcha frappe (right, $6.50) as usual. Pachi Pachi hands down serve the best matcha frappe in Perth. It's made of yummy cold goodness and topped with cream and green tea kit-kat on top, yum! The mango smoothie (left, $6.50) wasn't too bad either, it's got the Asian mango kind of taste kind of like mango caprison.

This was a new dish I tried out, Chicken Nanban ($16.00) it didn't look as appealing to me but the taste blew my mind. It was so good, I was so sad when I had the last piece. The chicken was sweet and tangy and the sauce on top is their homemade Japanese tartare sauce which taste a lot like Japanese mayo. They also had some vegetables on the bottom, which I think is coleslaw but I'm not too certain.

Oh man, this one is one of my favourite signature dish of theirs. Pork with sweet & sour red wine sauce ($16.00). It's pretty much sweet & sour sauce with some capsicum and onions but the one from Pachi Pachi just explodes in your mouth with strong flavours that makes you long for more.

Everyone in Perth should go and try this restaurant. I guarantee that you would not be disappointed!
