More Weekend Load Up

Saturday 23rd...

Asked to cover last minute till late on a friday night is a reason to give yourself a special weekend treat especially when dear Eva came all the way from Hamilton and has graciously requested company.

Here's the start to an big indulgence.

Lunch at Wagamama's. They actually have an interesting dessert selection including a chocolate mousse with wasabi centre. Must try next time and with the loyalty card, it's a great come back value.

Desserts was at Hans Brinker, QV, a new dutch place.

Chocolate Dream Pannekoek

- thinner than pancake, thicker than crepe, this dutch pannekoek was made with chocolate chip, dressed with fudge, topped with chocolate ice cream and served beautifully warm on a pan

Peach Melba Crepe

Berry Dream Poffertjes

Fueled with all the sugar, I went for my first ever go karting experience at Ace Karts, Sunshine. It does take alot out of you if you're spoilt with power steering. There were 11 guys and 3 girls in total for the race and not expecting much of myself, I came in 10th, which is not bad being probably the only newby and ranking highest among the females, beating 2 other males. The sugar probably helped or maybe what's left of my Malaysian driving skills.

The boys pigged out after the big race at a Vietnamese restaurant but here's where I refuelled - dessert at Gluttony's.

Gluttony offers a unique range of their in house composition, most of which are exeptional although trial of the chocolate, beetroot and tofu cake, gorgeous as it may look, may have been too daring.

Baked Blueberry and Boysenberry Cheesecake

Sunday 24th...

Breakfast at the Vineyard, St Kilda.
Mascarpone addiction continues...

The Great Tassie Brekky
- Scrambled Eggs with Salmon on thick sourdough drizzled with pesto served with full mascarpone

Dinner at Sofia's

An impressive mount with a height greater than my face.

Sofia's is well known for their huge servings and after having gone through the spagetti marinara, tagliatelle pesto and fritto misto shared between my brother, Jolene and myself, I downed 3/4 of the gelato.

The reason for my ongoing unsuccessful desire to lose weight. I will be working throughout next weekend.

- coffee, rum & raisins, hazelnut, bacio, chocolate, pistachio, choc chip peppermint and banana
