Giraffe Wrap

After yesterday's Macas feast, today's lunch need to be a bit more tamed.... so I went and had a special chicken wrap from Giraffe.

I've tried their standard chicken wrap before, but I don't like it because the chicken are cut up so thinly and tiny, I can't feel the meat and I don't like it... But they have daily specials and I particularly like their chicken special (because they use a piece of chicken breast in the special wrap, as opposed to the chopped up chicken in the normal wrap).

In the special chicken wrap, apart from the chicken breast, there are also mushroom, cooked brown onion, ricotta cheese, guacamole, lettuces, tomatoes and pickles. For sauce, I always go for the hot chili + garlic combination.

中式okonomiyaki - part 2

尋晚我哋繼續食中式嘅okonomiyaki，今次加咗隻煎蛋，因為突然好想食蛋。效果好好，D 生蛋黃+老公仔嘅自製汁同做燒餅好"kap"。好味！

Mighty Angus & Grand Angus Burgers from McDonalds (Australia)

I've heard a lot of radio ads about this new McDonalds Angus beef burger over the past week, so after an hour long lunch meeting today, I decided to spoil myself with some "healthy" food.

By the time I got to Macas, it's already like 2:30pm... so you can imagine how HUNGRY I was! I went straight for the Mighty Angus- it's got the Angus beef patty (of course), cheese, bacon, raw red onions, cooked brown onion, all on a sourdough bun (man, sourdough is my favourite type of bread!). The other version of the burger is call Grand Angus, and it's basically the Mighty, minus the bacon, and replaced with healthier stuffs like lettuces, tomatoes etc etc...

(I only started to take the pics half way thru eating... I was too hungry!!!)

According to both the McDonalds and Certified Australian Angus Beef Pty Ltd (CAAB) websites, the beef used in these 2 premium Macas burgers are all CAAB-verified Angus Beef, which means that the beef used must come from an animal sired by an Angus bull and be out of either a straight-bred Angus cow, or an Angus cross cow.  Pretty fancy stuff huh?!

I've now fully digested the burger (hubby won't be too pleased about my onion breathe... ops!), and have to say that the beef patty in the Angus burger does taste different... with the Angus patty, you can actually feel and eat the meat (you know what the standard patty tastes and feels like right?). It's not bad, and is well worth a try.

曰本班戟 okonomiyaki

自從mid July一星期內連續食咗好幾餐老公仔煮嘅超好味曰本班戟(okonomiyaki)之後，我哋都有一排冇食E樣嘢啦。

E張係七月其中一晚嘅製成品：

尋晚老公仔煮咗個中式okonomiyaki，雖然只係用咗D好普通嘅材料(i.e.西蘭花，蛋 & 貢丸)，但係好好味....

我好欣賞E個中式okonomiyaki，因為：

1. 個粉漿做得靚。點解要提個粉漿？佢煮熟係靠scientific look & feel，而唔係好似我咁...樣樣都要量過，磅過... 所以佢1take過做到個靚漿,好勁呢...

2. 個汁好特別。通常會用買番嚟嘅燒餅醬，但係上次用完未買番，所以佢就on the spot用水，糖，soy sauce，紫菜 & 木魚片嚟煮個醬... 哈！又幾點wor...

3. 由start to finish，半個鐘有得食- 冇得頂啦... 如果俾我煮，起碼要多兩、三倍時間，而又未必放得入口。

today's mid arvo macchiato

尋晚已經好早訓，但係今日lunch後勁眼訓... 所以就落去買咗杯macchiato飲。

其實macchiato係個意大利字，解釋係 stained 或 marked... 而杯咖啡叫做macchiato因為佢係杯espresso加小小(i.e. stained)奶。

我係唔飲╱食有太多奶嘅嘢，因為奶會令我胃痛，但係咖啡冇奶又好似齋咗啲... 所以macchiato好啱我飲~ 只有啲咁多奶，perfect!

希望我哋部espresso機快D到，咁我就可以自己喺屋企"chung" macchiato飲啦(不過我諗重要等多成個月先到，因為喺申請AMEX card送嘅，話要等到今個月尾先至會寄嚟)。
