Tesselaar Tulip Festival

Hey everyone~

Most people love this season and of course, it's spring.

Maybe some of you already know that I stayed at Melbourne for my university and Australia have opposite season with some countries, such as US, Japan, Korea, etc.. 

So, we have spring starting from September..

At the end of September, my friends were asking me to visit Tulip Festival and because I got curious, I decided to went to the Tulip Farm.

Many families, friends, and couples were visiting this place. There were many attractions, stalls, and foods.

The theme for that weekend was Dutch. Therefore, people were dressing up and dance, while the foods and shops also supporting the theme. 

After doing a quick tour throughout the place and eat, we finally went to see the Tulip.

and i saw an interesting statue, so I took the picture. lol.

As you can see, there were lots of pretty Tulip with different range of colors, from white, red, purple, yellow, pink, etc etc...

Definitely a good place to refresh, calm my mind, enjoy the nature, and take pictures (maybe just for some people, like me). LOL.

Well, this trip took me 2 hours from the city to reach this place. At first, it was kinda boring and tiring, but that's all vanished as I reach the place. 

If you've got nothing much to do, you can visit this place (on spring definitely).

Last time, they've got different theme for every weekend. Hopefully there will be another event this year, but you can check their website :)

See you on my next post,

thanks for reading

Food Travel: Too Too Moo

Hello everyone,

sorry for my long absence! >w<

Few weeks ago, I got a chance travelling to Surabaya with my siblings. It was my first time travel to another city without my parents. LOL. 

We have lots of fun there~

First destination after we reach our hotel, we went to a dessert cafe named, 

Too Too Moo.

They have various desserts and some beverages. Too bad I don't have the courage to take picture for all cakes they display, because I was too shy >////< *slapped*.

The interior is really cozy. It feels like home for me <3

They also have television on the front cafe. You can play, talk, and relax in this place.

 Here's some desserts that we order

 1st dessert: Chocolate Tart (with marshmallow below the chocolate ganache and rhum)

Basically the taste is rich and fun, since they use marshmallow. However, you can feel very full after eating half of this tart. I also can't really taste the rhum when trying this tart, I think they have to put more rhum to the cake (*note: personally, I love the smell and taste of rhum). 

2nd dessert: Mango mouse (with sliced sponge cake)

This mouse is my choice and I didn't regret to order this XD I don't usually eat whole cake/desserts (I only take some bites), but for this one I can finish it by myself. LOL.

When usually you can feel very full when eating a cake, the 'sweetness' from mango in this cake won't make you 'feel sick' easily. Definitely a perfect combination for this cake!

                   
                                                                           
3rd & 4th dessert: Dark Chocolate ganache cake and raspberry macaroon

First of all, sorry I don't really remember the exact name of the last dish, but if I'm not mistaken, those are the names. The chocolate ganache is really yummy, eventhough chocolate have rich flavour, but when eating the cake, it doesn't make me full easily (I think it's from the bitter taste from dark chocolate). The chocolate sponge feels very soft and fluffy too~
As for the macaroon, I really love how it taste! The texture is soft eventhough the outer part is kinda hard. Also, it's not very sweet like other macaroon usually are.


Overall, I love the cakes in here, since the sweet level is perfect (not too sweet) and the price is reasonable too (the range is about IDR 20,000 - IDR 50,000, but most cakes are IDR 30,000).

If you visit Surabaya, maybe you can drop by this place! :)

 

-- See you in my next post! :D

SG haul + tutorial survey

Hi everyone <3

If you notice, I rarely post anything for the previous week. My life got super busy due to my piano concert which held on 15 June.

As a part of the committee, I need to make bunch of properties and attend some meeting :(

However, today I'm back to my routine as a blogger xD So, this will be a super late post after my first post of May haul. LOL.

***

I went to Singapore at the end of May with my grandma and mom. Also, we only spent 2 days there! LOL. But, I could still bought some items and I'm really happy about it~ hehe xD

When I flashback that time, I went to many places to get these items. The great thing is I don't get tired! *The power of shopping* LOL xD

However, I'm a little bit sad because I can't come to Funan Anime Matsuri. I really want to meet Kaname and the other guest star. Moreover, I want to visit the Maid&Butler Cafe too TT___TT

But that's fine, I just need to wait for AFA :3

So, what did I buy?

<3 A pink shoes. Bought from Vincci store

(Please pardon my big legs TT___TT)

<3 Rohto Cube eye drop and Hello Kitty Hand Sanitizer from Watson.
(will review the Rohto eye drop soon~ )

<3 Fabrics. There are so many cute fabrics in Singapore, but the price is a little bit pricey :P At least, the quality is really good!~ Bought from a store in People Park.

Last picture~
A photo of me after doing the piano concert. My face looks so freakin' asdjfkajskdfj :X

Anyway, I wanted to ask 1 question for all of you~ hehe.
In your opinion, should I make a video tutorial or tutorial in pictures?
Because I'm thinking to make another tutorial x)


Thanks a lot for your comments. I'm really happy to hear your opinion xD

Melbourne Part 2 - Foods & Haul

Hello everyone!
So, this is the part 2 story of my holiday trip to melbourne.

To be honest, I have to admit that the unforgetable moment of Melbourne were the foods~ LOL xD

There are so many healthy and delicious foods, which made me so happy about it. There were some restaurant that I visit and here's the list:

<3 Yo-Chi, a famous yogurt store in melbourne. I can't resist to say, it's one of the best yogurt I've had.

 <3 Villa Romana, an italian restaurant in the city. So many people gather and ate foods in that place. *Warning: For me, the portion is big xD which I think it's better to share 1 main food for 2 people ~

<3 Yering Restaurant (I forget the real name, but there's only 1 restaurant at Yering winery). The presentation of the food is really pretty, they used a real flower and some leafs to decorate it. And the food is super delicious too~ xD

<3 Subway, a healthy sandwich which I really love. I ate 3 times at subway for my lunch because I really love bread with salad and the price is super reasonable.

<3 Nando's. Popular by it's grilled chicken. I think the great point in the chicken is the seasoning that they used and how they marinated the chicken.

<3 Sofia. The fun thing to eat in this restaurant is because of the SUPER BIG portion! I never find such a super big portion in my life. LOL. The taste of food was okay, while the price is reasonable if considered the quantity of the food ~ xD

Actually I don't shop much in melbourne, because I have a very limited time. But, here's some things that I bought there~

It's cute isn't it? <3 (Brand: Dotti)

A cute T-shirt~ (Brand: Ginger tea)

Last, I bought some healthy snacks from various groceries. The cereals were from coles and the nuts & apricots from Nix nut groceries.

*If you wanted to buy lots of nuts or ingredients for making a cake, try to visit Nix nut groceries, because I found the price is +/- half of the supermarket price (ex: coles, woolsworth,etc)

Yeah, I know that I bought so many. But, the price at there are much more cheaper than buying it in Indonesia, also they have more variation for the healthy foods. So why not buy more? LOL.

Maybe I can open a healthy store right now at my home :P *just kidding* xDD

Actually, I really hope subway will be open in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta. I don't know why, but I never get bored to eat subway when I visit another country which has Subway store :P

Alright, thanks for reading guys. Have a great day <3

Melbourne Part 1 - Trip to Bendigo

It was really interesting to spent my easter holiday on Melbourne. I have some relatives and friends at there, so I always have many activities and never feel bored xD

The most beautiful place that I visited was Bendigo, I found many pretty flowers and trees. The park was great too, and of course it's because the government took a good care of it. Also, there's a lake with lots of ducks. At that time I saw some people lays on the grass while looking at the beautiful sky or doing some exercise.

Before arrived at Bendigo, I stopped at a park (sorry I didn't remember the name) to have a picnic with my relatives and ate a sandwich <3 <3

So, here's some good view on the park~

At last! After so many hours we spent to reach Bendigo, finally we arrived! YEAYY xD

and it's worth it, I saw so many nice views which shows beauty of the nature. 

Look at the sky, it's beautiful isn't it? (*Notice: I didn't photoshopped anything on the picture above)

I found an interesting tree at the car park, maybe one day I should paint this kind of tree, it will be awesome! xD 

Actually, there's a Chinese Museum in here, but we (me & my family) didn't really like to see the antique items, so we decided to search another interesting place <3

Well, at last we went to Grill'd. It's a place where you can eat burger without feeling guilty (because it's more healthier than an ordinary burger)

Let's continue the journey! :D When we decided to went home, there's a lake with so many ducks which is caught our interest xD At last, we stopped here and spent an hours to saw the nice view. But after 10 minutes, I decided to take a walk and doing some exercises with my brother.

When the sky starting to get dark, we decided to go home.

And it took a long time until we reach our service apartment. But, I didn't really care because I slept all the time in the car. LOL.

Done with the story of my Bendigo Trip! xD

Next, I will continue to tell you the other things that I do and what I buy there. 

You'll see some cute things and some "Must visit Places!" :)

Thanks for reading my post, good bye and wish me luck for my National Exam this week x3
